My belief in Believing (By Caiphas)

Belief in anything has been a constant battle for me. Since I started to ignore the idea of god, I’ve been looking for something to keep me sane in this life. It isn’t as ease as some would believe. But after much work, I have figured out what I believe in.

I follow the existentialist belief that there is no god and the only way that a human can find meaning in life is to make something of it for himself. But, I don’t believe that there is absolutely no order to the events of the world. Yes, there is no accurate way to predict the distant future, but why would we want that? Discovering the world of tomorrow is so much more exciting that being informed about it. There must be a pattern in the chaos that is life, however remote, that we follow. Maybe it is in the past, I don’t know. But what I do know is that the present cannot exist by itself. Only when a past has been sorted out to define a future for itself can the present truly exist.

The idea of heaven is insulting to me now. After much thought, I see that heaven is the equivalent of a cheat in a computer game. You may spend months, even years trying to get through on your own skill. Then, when you get the cheat, everything becomes so easy that all enjoyment is lost. Heaven is that cheat. You spend all you life striving and then, when you die, everything is given to you on a silver platter and it’s worth is lost. I believe that heaven isn’t a place, but a moment that every one should experience before they die. When people say that their life flashed before their eyes, that is my version of heaven. All you deeds, good and bad, Presented in an instant that will determine if your life was worth it. That is my view of heaven.

And even after that, where do we go. I believe that the soul is what makes animal life different to rocks or liquids. After all, that’s all life really is. A freak occurrence where oil mixed with rock to create life. I believe that the soul is part of the ether that makes animals “Alive”. When we die, our ether returns to the chaos that it came from and, when it is time, returns to create life in any way shape or form.

Many have tried to answer that ultimate question, I believe that I have answered it. Only you can really decide for yourself if what I say makes sense.

Deep thought (Caiphas)

A wheelbarrow may be prize for it’s colour and it’s wear-n-tear, But it is the space in the middle that is most important.

A car may look great on the outside, but it is the space we sit in o n the inside that really counts.

A couch may be great to look at, but it is where there is nothing that we sit.

There fore, While it is important to respect what is, We must also see the true value of what is not.

Deep Thought (Caiphas)

Does the walker chose the path, or does the path chose the walker?

Deep thought (Caiphas)

Time is an illusion. The new year could have started on any day. Jesus could have been born on any day. Time-Zones couldn’t exist and time travel is impossible if one cannot understand what one is traveling on.

Deep thought (Caiphas)

Heaven is like a cheat in a computer game. You spend a long time struggling through the hard way, then everything is given to you on a gold platter, and the sense of achievement is gone
