One of the reasons Im not into the bible and stuff is because i observe how things work. These are my own collective thoughts
1] You are how you are raised.
2]Life is not like school. A bunch of kids going to the same school all have equal chances, life doesnt seem to work this way.
The way i see things work, as much as you want to say that god pardons this, punishes that, and tests him all that does is try to fill in a gap nobody has an answer to.
This can be debatable, but im sure that how you are RAISED affects how you are than any genetics or personal thoughts. bear with me I cant find my lovely thoughts now that I need them. I guess what I am trying to say it like we all get equal chances at things, get our report card when we die and thats it. i dont see things work like that. an example would be saint Teresa. She was a very good person, yet if you cloned her and raised her wrong she could be an evil person. Having more to do with environment than with genetics or personal thought.
Nobody has much choice, we are products of circumstance how i see it. If things worked the way the bible says god wants them to work than EVERYONE would go through the same things.
Yet what about lets say for example someone born into hinduism. Was it his choice to be born into hinduism? Does he have the same chance to accept the big man the same way a suburbian sunday schooler does? No he is raised hindu, and lets just say he is raised by an extremist family bent on blowing up Pakistan. all his life he is brainwashed with "this and that" about Pakistan until he blows himself up. god isnt going to just go to him in a dream one day and tell him what he's doing.
Ok if youre still with me let me sum it up.
If you have taken psychology then you have heard of "NATURE v NURTURE" thats pretty much how life is. Some people are born to be more aggressive than others or more emotional than others, the rest is all up to environment. That ultimately makes up who you are. Some of you may say that as long as you never reject jesus you are going to heavan, but someone will choose to accept jesus or not by weighing all events that have occured in his life and GREATLY depending who he knows, what his "people" will think of it, how it will benefit him, and just how much knowledge on jesus. Depending on how we was conditioned to interpret things.
Oh and no Im not Biblophobic. i dont hate religion or the religious, it would go against my own philosophy. Then again my interpretation of hate is different from everyones. Yes i have read most of the bible and im not convinced, im reading Nietzche and his philosophy hasnt impressed me so far either.
