I like to contemplate, sometimes, what I would be if I did not believe in God. I like to ask others, too, because I think it tells something of personalities.
I have concluded I would:
- be New Age, and take up elements of Zen that I found attractive
- participate in meditation and alternative healing
- believe God can be found in everything (a Colors of the Wind perspective)
- believe in the power of love and unity
- believe in relativism
To me, there is a certain beauty about all these things. They are attractive. I take the good elements from the things on the list above that I can without going against my beliefs. But intellectual beauty often falls short of truth, and there is a truth I have come to believe in that draws me more than what my mind initially comprehends as beautiful. This truth is also beautiful, but that isn't the sum of it. It is more than intellectual beauty, or things my heart longs for. It is a compelling truth that won't be ignored when I view life as honestly as I possibly can.
