Opinion on religious matters can start huge debates in many circles. Alot of people read/hear “God” or “Jesus” and either immediately turn off, or immediately start reading. We all have our opinions for and against… We all have an opinion, some conform to the Churches idea’s, others have their own idea’s. I am one of those that has their own idea’s… And so that you can better understand the complexity and insanity that is Syridian, I shall now ram those idea’s down your throats.

Open wide…

The big question, “Do I believe in God?” The answer is simple enough, I’m agnostic, and until God taps me on the shoulder and proves to me that he exists, I choose to believe in what I can see, in facts, in physical proof. I don’t say that God does not exist… just that if God does exist, he/she has not provided enough evidence to make me believe.

The Bible has alot of so called ‘proof’ however if you actually read and study the bible with an open mind, it’s easy to see the truth of what is told. My experiences with a number of religions has been that they try and teach you at a young age to “have faith” and “believe”. This is because if the Bible is taught to free thinking adults, they can see it for what it really is. It’s a collection of historic books that have been edited together for the benefit of controlling the masses. Since mankind developed the means to draw and write, we have written down history so that it can be recorded for future generations. If this is understood, and the motivation of the “church” is understood, then the text of the Bible is easily understood. With the right perspective, the truth can be seen. The “church” over the years, has manipulated people into believing in God for it’s own goals, those goals being suplication, control and power.

“Wholey Crap!!” You may say… “You are just against the church”.

To that I’ll answer “Yes, I am”. That is MY perspective… my opinion.

Then you may say “well what about Jesus, and all the good he did. He was around before most of the churches today, and he preached the word of God”.

True, he did… And in all honesty, I will admit to believeing in some of what he taught. However, like chinese whispers change the word of one person into something completely differant. I believe the gosples have been tainted over the centuries into saying what the church wants them to say. The Bible as a whole is HIGHLY edited, even the King James version is just a collection of gospels that support the churches view. So what do I believe about Jesus?
