i just would like to say that i dont believe in god persay. i believe that there are creative and destructive forces-yin&yang-there is no good or evil(has anyone noticed that god is just good with an 'o' taken out and devil is just evil with a 'd' added to it?)i combine this yin and yang philosophy with the american indian belief of the great spirit and it works just fine for me. i dont believe that when i die i will go to heaven OR hell, but rather that i will return to the great spirit and merge with him to attain a state of omnipitence and when i have recieved enough knowledge from the ways of the world and the great spirit then i will be reincarnated in the form that best suits the actions of my previous life, but no form is either good or evil as they all serve their purpose in nature. on another point i associate nature with being creative and man being destructive(look at the way the world is and what we do to eachother)i can use my belief to explain things at a base level, maybe not the complexities. i believe in equal exchange, to gain something, you have to lose something. take this for example: you load a bowl with some weed, burn it and inhale the smoke(destructive, as you no longer have any weed)but in return you get high(creative) you destroyed the weed to create a feeling of pleasantness and well-being. make sense to anyone?
