I was on a blogging roll (...three posts) when I hit this one. I'm not sure I can really sum up my views on religion in a blog post. Actually, I'm 14,000% sure of it. But I'll make an attempt...
My most basic philosophy has always been that I'd rather live my life with the assumption that there was an afterlife and die to find out there wasn't than to live as though there weren't one and die to find out there was. It's just math really...
I have always been a Christian. So at the very core, I imagine that in itself could be considered my view on religion. However, recently, my views have really started evolving in (what I believe) is a really awesome way. I've realized that God isn't just someone I'm working to get to spend eternity with (which, of course, he is) but he is also someone who can change my life every single day. I absolutely still think that living a life that will ultimately get you to heaven is an excellent plan. However, lately I am of the thought that by putting Jesus at the forefront of my mind every day, instead of seeing him as someone I'm hoping to "get to" after I die, every single day is better. I've felt like I've always been looking for "something" and I've even said before that sometimes part of me feels compelled to try to accomplish something just for the sake of seeing if I could accomplish the goal and not necessarily because the end result was something I really wanted. Jesus, heaven, eternal life, etc have always been things I've always wanted, of couse. Who doesn't? But until very recently it never occurred to me that this is the "something" I've been looking for. This is the ultimate goal. Regardless of where I am, what I'm doing, who I'm with, if I'm walking with God everyday, them I'm all set.
