When you realised there was no meaning to life and no God on 19:21 - Sep 6 by CLAREMAN1995
I just opened a report that was released in Ireland this week about the abuse that was carried out in Religious schools Nicole and it was stomach churning disgusting .It was mostly carried out by priests/christian brothers and lay people but always connected to religion .The brutality those boys mostly suffered was life changing for the worst and they wont get justice because most of the predators are dead now. There was supposed to be a report on nuns physically and abusing girls in their care but it appears to to have been swept away under some rug . As for God its impossible to know because nobody has arrived back from the afterlife yet but if it gives comfort ,solace and peace then why not I say. I try to live by my concious ,hurt nobody ,help who I can and try and show my kids who will carry on my name the way to lead productive lives and far surpass what I was able to achieve
Yep it's all terrible and doesn't seem to chime with Jesus's teachings.
There's some great stuff in religious texts but it's all down to the people who appoint themselves as interpreters and preachers of it and how they cherry pick the bits that suit them.
Being a spiritual person is something entirely different. I like the idea of being in touch with your own higher (best) self. That doesn't eliminate the stuff that makes life fun. Just means among other things you are a decent person who thinks a bit more deeply about life.
