1. The concept of God as some sort of magical being that created everything seems rediculous to me. I just don't understand it. I understand the underlying concept though, that he represents creation and destruction and all those fancy things, but I still don't buy it.

2. I really don't know how to feel about Jesus. I don't how all the pictures depicted of him (that I've seen at least, from classics to modern concepts) are clearly Caucasian, yet he'd clearly be of darker complexion from where he's from. It's rediculous contradictions like this that have made me loose faith in religion.

3. I used to be a hard core Atheist. I was totally down for bashing religions of all sorts and spent a considerable amount of time trying to disprove god and the like. But lately I've realized that I absolutely hate all forms of organized religion and want no part in any of them. I live in a world where information is at my fingertips so I'm perfectly capable of creating my own ideals, morals and beliefs. So that's that, no religion for me, and I'm happy.

Maybe God isn't magical at all, but can be explained scientifically. For instance God may be the consciousness of energy which has the ability to direct its own existence.
Just an idea.

And a wide-spread one. This is pretty much what everyone who has attained the seventh level of higher consciousness says.

I suggest stickying it.

I've considered something like this before but not under the label of God. It's an interesting concept though.

I have no religious beliefs. I'm a 'strong' atheist and following that there's no purpose in myself answering your questions.

Recommend Dr Emoto's work - vis a vis Hado pronounced ha - do. Seen in films such as "What the bleep do we know?" Dr Emoto in his latest work uses scientific methodology to show that the energy that fills the gaps between the quantum particles of atoms, is in fact 'consciousness' or; as per the science: electro-magnetic waves.

i'd hate to see you crash and burn with those set of beliefs, im hoping you just didnt have the time and did a quick emotionally charged outline, because my beliefs are similar but ive refined them some

Judge nothing? judging is a survival mechanism,it helps you protect yourself and your loved ones, to not judge is to become a tool, you do want to act for yourself right?

i say, judge a man by his brain(brain= actions first of all, words second) and not appearances or initial impressions,

Love by my definition is ceasing to judge, easy to do once you accept something for what it is. i believe this is true for me but if i loved everything my love would be meaningless, and as a human i'd like my life to have meaning. leads to the next point

Accept everything? lol, come on... if you accepted everything you'd be full of contradictions. Give everything a try, and eliminate any contradicting beliefs by making a decision based on yourself(emotion instinct and reason) and as little outside influence as possible and Accept what you WANT(you should want to accept anything you know you cant change) to accept, and do not accept anything you know you can change(if you want to change it that is).

Bless everyone? theres people in the world that would take your blessing and shit on it. why waste your time?

bless those who deserve it, which is everyone that you know, everyone you see on the street radiating happiness, enjoying their life. the girl who smiles at you as you walk by the bus stop, the bum on the corner asking for change(for the fact hes not robbing you hes respecting you and asking you)

We are all one

I've felt the universal conciousness and my mind opening up to it(under the influence of drugs, something tells me that i shouldnt accept realizations that i make on drugs, but this one sticks for some reason, gut feeling), this is as close to a blind belief ill ever go,
