To respond to Wayfarer:
I believe in a collective consciousness, just like you, and that we are all connected beings. I certainly wouldn't deny that we have a 6th sense, which is not ESP, just plain instinct. Most of us have had unbelievable flashes of instinct from time to time. Not simply just knowing what someone might say in a situation, but somehow sensing certain goings-on in a completely different place than where you are.
To respond to Crowquill and Mockingbird:
That's an interesting point, because you both said that belief in a god is for people who are terrified of death, and I can't help but admit that I am terrified of death. Sometimes I feel like I witness special works, that make me believe, then there are so many awful things that make me doubt. One of my main arguments for an existence of God would actually be a scientific one. I'm amazed that we live on a planet, in which, on it's rotation around the sun, becomes somewhat farther out on its axis, and at those points, it gets so cold here that it becomes nearly uninhabitable, if not just very uncomfortable. (global warming not withstanding). But it's not quite too cold, the same way it's just not quite too hot in the summertime. Then I think about all that space, and all those thousands of miles in between the Earth and its neighboring planets-Mars & Venus, and how there is basically no possibility of human life there (while they have apparently recently found living bacteria on Mars) It just seems so improbable to me, that we could be that fortunate to get situated right here, without there being a god.
Also, I just can't help but feel like we were meant to get something. Think about it, we seem to be the only animals with a conscious mind. All other animals with a brain certainly feel pain, and some people believe that even plants feel pain, but we are the only creatures who have such a complex brain, and the ability to experience such a wide plethora of emotions. It just makes me feel like we're supposed to get something. And I think maybe what one generation and one country is supposed to get is not necessarily what is intended for the next generation, or people of other nationalities, creeds, whatever.
Of course, I understand there most certainly maybe life in other galaxies, and it is quite possible that our so called "god" is merely a race of aliens - so advanced that they created us as some sort of weird experiment and they subtly drop us hints sometimes of their existence, maybe a reward for something good we did. Maybe we all are reincarnated in this life until we all collectively come to a higher recognition of love and spirit, and then we may all be welcomed into their fascinating worlds or "heaven" as we know it.
Also sometimes I think that who we are reincarnated as may depend on how we performed in the past life. For instance, maybe Bush was some really great person in the past life, and in this lifetime, he just didn't get it, and he may be reincarnated into some sort of paramecium or something in the next life.
Ultimately this whole text may just symbolize my whole fear of death, and might be all hogwash, but who can blame me. I mean, as Crowquill said, we're here one day, and then we just vanish. Of course, then there would be no reason to do any good in life, and then you could say that the whole religion idea was contrived simply to get us to behave well while we're here, and could be argued for that it's a good thing in that respect.
This is getting into scary territory here, but I really don't want to live in a world where people feel they have no reason to do good, whether it's true or not. I guess what I'm saying is, if right now, it was revealed to me that I had no reason to do good, whatsoever, it would scare me about what I might do, so maybe that's the reason I want to believe in a God.
