Ever since I took GREL101 last semester, I've been really contemplating about life. I've gone through many phases in my life, and I used to be very Atheist, I used to be a ..."born again?" Christian, and now I'm back to my old agnosticism... so I've always been on the search, you may say. I hate that so many of the surveys/quizzy things we've done in this class so far include questions like "is there a God?" or whether I believe that "having a personal relationship with God" is important to me or not. We live in America, so obviously the main thing we will discuss is "God" and blah blah blah... but what about other religions? Other points of view? Spirituality without "GOD" or "JESUS?" If I say that having a "personal relationship with God" is not important to me, am I automatically an atheist with no meaning in my life? I feel so tired of my constant search for some higher power... is it not okay to just be spiritual? To believe that there's something there, and to just shrug and say... I can't prove it, I can't not disprove it... but I'm going to live my life and be happy. What's wrong with that? I may not be a "Christian" like I used to be, but I believe my life has meaning.
