I feel like talking about my personal opinions on some of the most common yet deep topics in our society. I tried to write them several times in this blog but I was too afraid of any cynical judgements that may come out. But then I thought who the hell cares we're in the 21st century!
Well, here goes.
ON THE EXISTENCE OF GOD AND RELIGION
I'll go straight to the point, I do believe in God, Father, The Universe, The Absolute, whatever you call Him. I believe in the higher power that gives birth to all forms of life, even though existence of God cannot be proven. But some things need to remain as mystery; the universe is infinite and human intelligence are still limited to discover all sides of it. I don't need scientific reasons to believe in God, I believe God is within to guide me.
But am I religious?
I don't think so.
In my personal opinion, religions are ways to understand the concept of God and to understand oneself, as well as the meaning of life. Each individual is different, thus the different ways, but at the end they will lead people to the same destination; enlightenment.
I'm open to all teachings and concepts so I don't dedicate myself to only one belief. I'm also open for atheists and agnostics for such discussion.
ON GAY MARRIAGE
Gays are human beings as well, they all deserve affection and attention. And love is never limited to a man and a woman. It comes in all forms so if they fall in love with same-sex person, let them be. If you're against homosexuality in the name of religion, religious beliefs have taught us to love one and another unconditionally, so even if we disagree with them, our duty is to treat them equally because equality is what everyone deserves.
And yet, why hate an act of love? Homosexuality shouldn't be illegal, violence should.
ON SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE
I'm moderately liberal so I'm fine with girls or guys that want to have sex before marriage, as long as they know the consequences and responsibilities. For me personally, sex should be sacred because it is an act of intimacy between you and your other half whom you might be living with in your lifetime. And sex isn't just about being naked in bed together, it's also about being spiritually and psychologically open to this person, sharing the joys and pains from one and another.
Marriage, on the other hand, is a commitment held between you and your other half, a way to swear for your faithfulness and acceptance. For me it's wonderful to have sex with only someone you've sworn to love and to be with for the rest of your life.
ON DIVORCE
I just said that marriage is a way to swear for your faithfulness and acceptance, but sometimes things don't go as planned. The sentence 'til death do us apart' involves both physical and spiritual death in the relationship. When there's no life that came from intimate love in this marriage, one should propose a divorce before the 'dead relationship' do any harm.
Perhaps that's all for now. I'm open for friendly discussion and I'll be adding more opinions on critical topics later. Thank you for reading :)
