Feeling Hopeful
Hearing the gentle whir of my iMac
I have no opposing belief to deities, I have no belief at all. I only know what I know and what has been proved, and what has been my experience in my own life. The christian deity has no place in my life, nor do any of the other deities.
I give my own meaning to my life. I am here to do my part in the continuence of my species, to make my offsprings' world better for them to live in, and to make the present as great as I can for me and my family and loved ones, because this is the only chance I get to do so.
I know that the human species will continue to expand to other inhabitable planets if we can, but I don't know when. I know that if we can't, and the human species becomes extinct, then another species will dominate our planet. Our planet didn't form just for humans, but for life in general, and life will continue until the planet ends. And that is it.
Why do we have to have a meaning or purpose beyond that which I stated. We are just another species which has come to dominance on this planet, and we may pass away without leaving a trace or we may leave a great legacy and expand that legacy beyond our solar system.
Either way, no deities need be involved...life will continue...religions will come and go...and maybe religions will eventually become less of a force in the story of humanity and our progress.
But the human intellect and will power and reasoning ability and inventiveness and ingenuity and humanism will continue despite religion and in the end we may have something worth remembering....a legacy of humanism, of scientific discovery, of ethical truths which will span the universe leaving all religions bound in volumes of mythology.
I hope all our descendants will see that day and revel in their own humanity.
