Humanism

Trying to believe that God is real makes me frantic. It stresses me out, it makes my head spin. So much more points to his non-existence that I just cannot believe. I can’t. The proof I would need doesn’t exist and I have the strange feeling that if I was given proof, I still wouldn’t live life as a Christian. I just don’t think it’s for me, as an individual. I can accept and even admire ALL beliefs, but for me, personal moral structure and goals help me to feel stronger than anything I could be taught. Finding the strength within myself to be a morally sound human being is important to me, and it pushes me. I want to be better for myself and for the people around me. I want to be kind and generous and help whoever I can, because I want to. Me. And it is my personal opinion that if more people found it in themselves to be better (solely based on the belief that we are all human and all deserve to be treated a certain way), rather than in an outside structure, the world might be a little better as well. More of us need to find things in ourselves. Because that’s the beauty of such raw humanness; the power of the mind, the ability to be compassionate, to self-motivate, to be an individual
