something about religion
once upon a time, i was a kid. always wonder if there anyone lives upon the
sky. day goes by, it seems to me that of course, no one lives there, how come.
upon the sky is sky above, how can they live without enough oxygen, water, or
earth to stand with.
then i gave up this thought, and became a non-believer under the communist
system.
majority of chinese people maybe believe more in budhism more than
christianity, fine by me. but the problem to them is they don t go to temple
to pay reverence to their believed god until they got problems or they want
god to help them. again, how come? you don t give, how can you expect yourself
to receive.
stupid.
not until i came to korea did i realize a problem, that is why half of the
korea people have believed in jesus and god. as scientific developing, it
seems there is no illusion for us to follow. everything can be explained by
science rather than god, even there is something cannot be explained, nor does
jesus can expain neither.
so why.
i have PVC course here. PVC means personal virtue and characters, which, i
personally think, is kind of religion history. we learn the history of
Christianity, or MUSLIM. i know what the eid-al fitr is. i know what is the
relationship between jesus and god. knowing the immaculate conception. know
what baptism is. anyway, i learn a lot that not exist in my world before.
i am enlightened.
still not knowing why.
even my pvc mid-term exam, asking about how to balance the relation between
the science and supernatural phenomenas. how can i explain that if i still am
a non believer.
than comes novels by Don Brown.
i start to realize something moral that exist in Christianity rather than
science. science can heal the disease, can cure the patient, can build
comfortable house, can produce the food we need... science do a lot of things
that help us, but....
it still could be evil. the gun, the artilery, not to mention the nuclear
bomb.
well, in this situation. we need religion. it is religion that improve our
morality rather than decrease it, maybe they are not real one, but i have to
emphasize that we need them. what it does just like a lamppost around the
corner showing you what is right, what is wrong, kind of law and regulations
in your heart.
what if the world without it.
i suppose genocide will be spread over the world without any limitation.
in this sense, we need religion.
today when i have the law of treaty class. i suddenly ask myself, why not
myself creat a religion that fills all the gap between science and god. if
science says there is no god. fine, then there is no god in my religion. if i
think there is something science need to be aware of, fine, my religion could
offer that. we could be their pollar in their lifes. we could be the compasses
in their voyage. we could be anything.
so maybe i will...................................
