religion/spirituality/belief/non-belief
I read an article from New York Times about a man that traveled to Scandinavia. His name was Phil Zuckerman; he informed us that Denmark and Sweden were a couple of the least religious nations in the world. Mr. Zuckerman iss a sociologist who teaches at Pitzer College in California, and he was surprised on what he noticed. Many of the people he interviewed considered themselves atheists, but also called themselves Christians, even though they denied many of the Christian teachings. Zuckerman said they, "often disinclined or hesitant to talk with me about religion, and even once they agreed to do so, they usually had very little to say on the matter.” This is interesting... because it seems to me like the people didn't believe in God whatso ever and seemed to be very abrupt and didn't have anything to say about religiion. Lots of people believe in many different gods/goddesses, spirts, and just simply have different beliefs. Sometimes, i don't even know if i believe in God. Just because there is a story we are suppose to follow and believe in, follow the rules and etc... doesn't mean that God is neccessarily a real creature that created the world. I think it is so tough to wrap your mind around and I think that anyone can believe what they want. Tis okay to not even believe in anything.
