Just want to share. - July 27th 2011, 08:51 PM

After a lot of soul-searching, I came to believe that there were seperate heavens for each religion, and seperate hells. And that there was some sort of divine jury composed of gods from different beliefs that judged you and passed you into your idea of heaven or hell, be reincarnated, or even unexist.

That's the only way I can believe, and still live happily. It might sound crazy, and it's not even a true religion. But I can't believe anything else and still sleep and live content and without fear of death and without fear for everyone who is dying in the world, and so, that's what I believe in.

And when I feel the need to pray, I pray to any god or goddess who I feel can help me best, and who my faith is unwavering in at the time, and who comes to my mind. I hope to be reincarnated after I die, simply because I hate the idea of living in boring peace for eternity.

But I cannot believe any other way, because I'm too humble to believe that my beliefs are the only way for anyone to believe, and too afraid to believe that there is no life for anyone after death, or that there is no one there for me to cry out to when I am in dire need of help.

And that is the way I believe, and I'm proud to say it.


It takes a long time to grow an old friend.

Thanks so much for sharing! It's great that you were able to come out and say it. I respect your beliefs, and if you feel comfortable with them, that's all that matters!

"Which religion is right?" That's a question we all struggle to answer. Some say none, some say all (like yourself), and some say theirs. My beliefs are somewhat similar to yours. I believe that everyone is going to be a little bit right and a little bit wrong about what happens when we die. I don't believe that we can know for sure and so I don't believe any religion will be spot on. But that doesn't mean they're totally wrong. It's all a matter of perception. I also don't really believe in a god in particular. I think that when we die, we will be our own judges by reviewing our lives and seeing and feeling with great detail how we affected those around us.

Those are just my beliefs. You should definitely be proud to state yours! I know how hard it can be to decide what to believe with everyone saying different things, so I applaud you for finding something that suits you.

Honestly, no one in the world shares the exact same beliefs, and very few people follow exactly what the bible, scriptures, Qur'on ext say. So I suppose no one has a true religion!

Either way, don't ever let anyone tell you you're wrong. I'm glad you found something that works for you A lot of people struggle with that problem, finding what they really believe.



Take me seriously.
I dare you.
