It has been a while since I have last blogged. Merely because I also got tired of my own whines. Looks like every time I go over my posts I find something to whine about.
Lately these days I have been pondering on some things. I have not kept it a secret that I have so long ago got involved with paganism. I was born and raised as a Catholic by my folks and in fact my children are all baptized under this religion. I am giving them their choice. When the time comes it is up to them to choose what belief they would want to pursue.
Do I believe in God? Yes and no! Yes I do believe in Supreme being, that there is someone up there who had created this universe and someone who created me. No I no longer believe Him the way religions describe Him. I have discovered so long the flaws of religions each claiming that theirs are the ways in order for your soul to be saved. So much for all the dogmas and beliefs that they have.
Its just funny how those people who claim themselves to be Christian perceive the bible. It seems that it is easy for them to believe that the bible is the word of God yet most of them are not really willing to comprehend what the bible says.
Do I believe in the bible? Oh yes I do... but... I have been always trying to read the different versions of bible. Funny how a single word would give out an entirely different meaning once misinterpreted. Take the word Apocalypse for example. For ignorant Catholics, this mean the end of the world, when in fact this beautiful Greek word means revelation.
Even when I was a child lots of questions ran through my mind. There are lots of unanswered questions. I once tried to voice out my sentiments but it was shunned. I then kept them to myself. Unfortunately they kept boiling within me. When I got into college it even got worse. Oh no I am not an Agnostic... not an Atheist rather as I believe that there is a higher being. But the idea of being brought to heaven when you have been that faithful child or being delivered to hell if you become that prodigal son just amuses me. For the longest time I have been wondering.... what if heaven and hell has been misinterpreted by religions? After all for the longest time religion seems to have a funny way of speaking the truth. For the longest time in history religions played the role of misconstruing the truth. And over time it has not changed that fact.
To all those who claim themselves to be Christians, the core of your belief is the bible. Indeed know your faith!
I believe in the existence of Supreme being, that there is an architect who designed this universe I am in... and yes I believe that all His/ Her creations are created according to the architect's image. This could have never been truer. Indeed all being are created according to His/ her likeness.
In the wrong hands this can be a very potent weapon but in the hands of illuminated it can provide enlightenment, one that you could ever imagine!
