I confess that I think I am atheist but i am not really sure, i know i was til i was 10 or so, then i just believed because thats all i knew, for the longest time until i thought i knew everything. i am agnostic in terms of a non-personal creator god, like maybe i am slightly deist or something.
i dont' want to be atheist because i still beleive in religion. and i beleive in majesty, holiness, love, kindness, beauty, awe, surrender, ecstasy and agape. i believe in confession, forgiveness, and turning the other cheek.
i confess that i am more passionate about the Christ and his way of truth, compassion, understanding, kindness and unconditional holy love.
i confess that i desire the spirit of the Christ and the Buddha, and Mother Theresa, Gandi, and Thich Nhat Hahn.
i confess that i love the bible in all of its inherent oddity and randome hate, but i don't like those parts, but i realise its all very human and i love humans.
i confess that i desire nothing more than to live in complete and total unconditional, ego-surrendering love for all of my brothers and sisters.
i confess that all beings have inherent worth equal to the Buddha and the Christ.
I believe in imagination, creativity, and understanding.
Madame Teapong. I wonder why you are atheist-agnostic. With your confessions of believing in all the wonderful things you do, why do you not believe God is real or personal? Will you blog about your reasons, please? I'd like to read about them...and maybe we could have further dialogue about it.
