Religion

I believe in God, just not as it is written. I understand the God that is beyond recognition. Religion describes the entity, I don’t take the Bible’s scriptures literally. Rather interpret it symbolically, so they act as guides & lessons on the path of existence. Understanding human behavior has led me to believe we tip our lives to our own favor. Many things become far fetched because truth is not always certain, so we fill in the gaps with our own interpretation. What if on the course of human evolution at the point consciousness occurred. Thought became loud to that one human? I could only deduce that individual would be frightened or simply start talking to their inner voice as if there was someone there. 

I’ve heard countless debates about Religion vs. Science; Religion has a scripture for everything/Science is the only answer to solve anything. Yes, but I’m tired of the quarrel. To what I understand about behavior is that we create stories & I won’t deny the Bible but I will assume it was written and translated by humans. We are a victim to our own consciousness, our inner voice along for the ride of our experiences. Everything I’ve learnt from Biblical texts can be interpret psychologically; when Jesus was fighting the devil for 40 days & 40 nights. The devil never truly exists, is often depicted as phantoms. So to my observations, Jesus having conflicts with self-deception. “I can’t do this, what if I fail, I’m ugly, no one cares, I should give up…” our inner voice speaks to us about our unconsciousness neuroticism. If I was the first person to start coping with my own inner voice or openness to consciousness I would probably believe my inner voice wasn’t me but an entity beyond my understanding. It only seems plausible that we interpret new things in extreme ways before we come to terms with the truth.

Neither religion or science has come to a conclusion to what is “Consciousness” and that is the gap in the debate between the two. With that is what creates our free will to choose what to believe in. Adapting, learning, evolving but not knowing. We don’t know what God is, but we believe in ourselves because we exist. So questioning our own existences is to question creation.
