The problem with having philosophical blog is that, believe it or not, I don't always have very deep thoughts....Its not that I haven't wanted to blog, it's that I haven't had anything to write. There are definiately periods in my life when I am just trying to make it through the day, week, month, and don't have to time to think much about anything.
There is one thing that has been on my mind lately tho....Is it possible to be spiritual without being religious? What I mean is that lately I do believe God has helped me through some times....times that without his intervention I might have just given up. I thank him for his support. I do not debate his existence in the least, because I am convinced he does exist. The problem I am having is on the religious side of believing. I suppose if cornered would have to admit that my intermittent church going does not constitute going to church. I have a bible, but I don't read it. I am far from perfect...and to be honest some of my imperfections I am not fixing. Don't get me wrong...I strive to be a good person...and do believe I am a good person, but I am fully aware of my limitations.
The ultimate question I have is that....do I have to be able to quote Bible verses, and fill my MP3 player with Christian music to go to heaven?? I'm really not trying to be funny, believe me...When I get to the gates upstairs am I going to be quizzed? Is there really going to be a highlight film of my life?? That worries me....
I hope that when I get there...Whoever is manning the gate that day...looks at me and just knows...yes I can be ass, but I did try...not always successful..but did try.
