Okay, here comes a big ole post on how I've become myself.
Let's start with religion since when I gave up on it I started my real life. I gave up on religion at a young age feeling that it wasn't for me, the answers weren't thorough. I drifted through my meaningless existence for quite some time feeling that there was no answer that would ever satisfy my quest. Then I hit this amazing turning point during the 7th grade, I found The Beatles.
Now those of you who know me will see that and puke since I speak so much of them. Maybe this will explain why. The lyrics of their songs speak to me, both the good and the bad. I've loved, lost, laughed, and cried. Their songs do something to my head though, they kick it into hyperdrive. It's not just any higher level of thought, it's a very organized level of thought. During the next two years I would proceed to develop my own personal beliefs, tailored to my personality.
There was a time when I completely ignored the idea of a "God", but now I accept the term as a concept. That's right, to me God is a concept that is not a single entity, but a piece of each individual that must be molded by them for it to be efficient and worth having. In my view, established religion destroys this concept and gives people a very narrow view.
The answer, "It's because of God." does not fly with me anymore, give me the science. Science can be mental, physical, theoretical, etc but it must always provide some means of being proven.
So next time you see me or hear from me, remember, I think different than many of you and I sure as hell proud of it.
