Religious people please read.
So ive been reading The Revenant, and in the Twenty Third chapter, there is a text that made me pause.
[quote]And if Glass believed in a god, surely it resided in this great western expanse. Not a physical presence, but an idea, something beyond man's ability to comprehend, something larger.[/quote]
Ive been an atheist all my life and never really understood the concept of religion. "How could anyone believe in a bearded man living in the clouds judging people?"
Basically the point of my thread is to ask, is this how you see your religion? As an idea? Not as some bearded man? Im curious.
[spoiler]dont mean to piss anyone off, so dont hate me[/spoiler]
Edit: Very, very strange fucķing ending.

There's a difference between religion and faith. Religion is a man made series of rituals and beliefs taken from an original ideology, ie: catholicism. Faith, in this reference, is the belief that there is more than life; an afterlife...that there's a purpose to life more than just existence...and again in this reference, that there is a higher being; or creator, that made us and gave us life; whatever that higher being may be. Sure there's no proof, but then faith is an inner feeling of truth, meaning, and importance. It's hope. I was agnostic for most of my life because religion is so corrupt. I came into my faith because it was what I needed. Not to mention, it seems just as probable as the universe springing to life from a subatomic particle, infinity dense, and without the presence of law.
