The reason I was trying to avoid this certain post is, because, when I read it the first time, all I wanted to do was debate it. And, sure, I can debate personal beliefs and God and the after life. But, I don't think (since this was done in a way where the view points weren't being forced on others) that, if I had debated this, it would have been in good taste. Although, seeming so polite like this (or whatever) leaves a bad taste in my mouth as it is. It's kinda like my political views. Which, I admit, I am some what trying to push, but more or less trying to give people information and ideas so that they'll be inspired to become more active. Besides, it's a lot more in your face than this vague after life everyone seems to think is so much more important than life itself. Or maybe for some people it's a drug that they can take so they can escape the heartaches and dramas of life. Whose life has such a void? Need food? Need video games? Need t.v.? Need the internet? Need to keep shopping and shopping? Need money? Need drugs and alcohol?

Well, how about God?

Probably why many addicts end up becoming fundamentalist Christian cultists when they're at their lowest points, or almost there.

I've gotten bored with religions and studying religions and the after life and God for one simple reason; there's nothing I can say that'll change whatever is real. I've dissected every single corner with facts and logic, and came to the ultimate conclusion of, "I don't know." I mean, If there is an after life with a God from a mainstream religion then, I'm fucked. If there is an after life God that isn't part of any mainstream religion.. well, then, wonderful. If there's an after life without a God.. well, then, okay. And, if there is no after life then, whatever.

I have my own "spiritual" values. I don't share them. Mainly because I feel a personal belief (in something that is as vague and seems as unreal as an After Life or a God) is what it is - personal. They're mine and way too complicated for me to put into text or even say.
