Random Thoughts

    Before reading this understand I'm Not trying to change how anyone thinks or feels. what you believe is up to you and does not affect me at all. I respect all beliefs, religions, and creeds. The fallowing is just how I feel on these topic, and I ask you to respect how I feel and what a believe and allow me to voice my opinion.


Fate...
    I don't believe in fate. This is like saying there is a god or an order to the world. There is no fate there is no order. Fate did not give you your home, you worked for it. Fate did not take your loved once life, cancer did. Fate will not fix your problems, you have too. Now I'm not saying everyone has 100% control over they're lives. Being in the military I know all too well we don't, but its not some magic force that guides us. Its the actions of other men, women, and all the beings in nature. Thats what impacts our lives in a fashion we can not control. Its done by governments, big corporations and disease. To really describe how I feel on this I have to touch on 2 other topics, faith and god.


Faith...
    Faith when speaking on religion is defined as complete belief without need for proof. I cant do this. I am a man of science and need evidence to back up claims. the world is full of things that we can not explain with science but I don't think that means we should fall back on blind faith to explain those things. I much rather accept that I do not know something instead of saying it was done by magic. Does this mean science is always right? No, of course not. Originally scientists thought the world was flat, and in case no one updated you, they were wrong.


God...
    “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”-Epicurus
    I don't deny that there may be a god... But in the same way I don't deny there might be a Big Foot... but until someone can show me otherwise I do not believe. All this that happened around us was chance, complete and utter random chance. And when we die that will be the end, we will just stop and be nothing more than carbon and water. But that does not mean we have nothing. The iron in my blood can be traced back to the center of the universe and the big bang and maybe even before that, to me that pretty fucking cool. and when i die my body will be used to create new things, new life and i will live on in the planet long after my conscious mind is gone... so then do we ever really die? What I am can be tracked back to when everything started and can be tracked back to so many different states of being.


These are just some random thought, take them how you wish and do with them as you see fit.
