I do believe that there is a God, I don't buy the belief about the "big bang" where we just happened to appear out of nowhere.
Something must happen to us when we die too, I refuse to believe we just "disappear".
So what do I believe?
Well I believe theres some kind of higher being (God) that created us all, and when we do something wrong theres a reason why we feel that we have done wrong inside.
After that, Im not too sure what to believe really...
I'll more than likely find myself following some religion eventually, its just a matter of what to believe really.
From my (very) limited knowledge of religion, Christianity probably makes the most sense to me though.
That's EXACTLY how I feel! I've been stuggling with the beliefs I grew up on (mum is Protestant, dad is Catholic) for the past few years. It's not really that I've totally rejected Christianity, it's just that I also don't completely accept it. I believe in some higher power, and I guess you could call it God, and I also believe that something happens after we die. But I'm not really sure Christ is our 'Lord and Saviour'.
One of my friends took all the things he believed from Christianity, Buddhism and Paganism and made a sort of neo-religion out of it. At the end of the day, what I believe in is being a good person. I don't know what else to think after that. So, even though I still believe in some of the basic teachings of Christianity, I think I disagree too much with Christians to technically call myself one.
