Hello, thought I would share the positive spirituality of my world-view.
Rememebr this is only my opinion.
1. No such thing as sin... nothing to feel guilty about.
Sin Complex leads to giult and low self esteem, . Hereditary Transmission of Sin philosophy is false and self destructive, When I see a newborn infant and a mother interact, they show a natural inborn trait of love,compassion, and gentalness. The baby wants to be loved, the mother wants to give love. Its natural for humans to want peace and Happiness.
2. Hell doesnt exist...nothing to be depressed about.
3. I want to do the "right "thing, love one another, be kind to others not because its the "right" thing to do, not because I am promised rewards in heaven. But because it makes me feel good and valuable.
4. my actions define who-I-am
5. No afterlife....I dont remember the past 12 billion years, I dont rememebr being unhappy or unfulfilled. Death is natural, normal, a small price we must all pay for the expereince of being alive. Death is nothing to be afraid of. I have been nonexistent 12 billion times longer than I have been alive, therefore nonexistence is my natural state of existence.
6. A human lifetime is precious, once its gone, its gone, therefore sieze the day, strive to overcome weakness and pursue positive personal growth, and wake up every day with a smile.
7. No angry God exists
how it helps my ADD: add is a strictly physical non-metaphysical medical condition therefore I will look for naturalistic causes for my condition, and rely on tested and validated methods to help.
Prayer and faith ( although I am not saying they are a negative things) doesnt seem to help. I only have to look at history and past epidemics to conclude that the sucsess rate for faith/prayer vs. medication.... medical science wins hands down every time.
