Faith is a tricky term, which eventually leads to religion which leads right back to faith. Now this is where I am stuck. When I was a med student zeons ago, I remember my first visit to the operation theator..while the surgeon opened up the abdomen of the patient, I could see this intricate arterial networks tht even the most intelligent person could never design.(hey even now no one can design a human brain and put it in something as small as a skull eh??)Tht kind of convinced me tht there must be something more intelligent than human form to have designed or produced us humans. Silly argument, probably.. But my problem arises from the fact tht I hv no name for tht super intelligent form.
I have been raised in an extremely religious family…Now the problem is my family religion says you should believe in our god to go to heaven.. Then wht will happen to those who don’t believe in our religion? Where would they go?
Then there is this problem, where history teaches us tht Hinduism is the oldest religion.. So who created the rest of the religions tht followed ?
My problem is how do i raise my kids? Wht exactly do i tell them? Raise them the way i was raised, though I no longer subscribe to tht belief?
Why is life so complicated? Would it be ok..if i teach them to be just human and do the right always without worrying about sin and hell? Would I be able to do it?
