Week 7: What is my view about religion?

Here, I would like to think about whether I need religion or not through the death.


I've never thought about religion so much. But when I hear the word, religion, I often think about death.
I've never learned religions so much. But I think the reason of existence of religion is to release the fear for death.
I really do not know whether I am afraid of death.
I am sure that it will be very sad to meet nobody, to talk with nobody, and so on. But this does not mean I am afraid of death. I can say that I am afraid of the loneliness more than death.
Some religions may teach that people can live in somewhere but this world after death.
Some religions may teach that people can be born again and again after death.
But no one knows the truth.
Who can tell about the world after death?
It is very fearful for many people to expect nothing in the future, maybe.
But it is also exciting not to know what happens next.
I don't mean I am excited with my death or somebody's death.
For me, it doesn't seem meaningful to believe one types of the world after death.
Unexpected things often happen in my life. And it is the life.
And the death is.
So, I do not need religion at least for now.

  1. I agree with you and seldome think about religion. But when I visited middle east countries, I got interested in Islam so I want to learn it more and also want to learn other religions to compare with.

  2. Your idea is so cool and brings me a new perspective! No one can tell what will happen in the future. I like your way of saying, "Unexpected things often happen in my life. And it is the life." It is so poetic!
