Now; When there´s no final judge, who clearly defines what is wrong and right, anything can be glorified as a value. Also when God is missing, there was another thing; Solid truth was destroyed into smaller relative truths, and people divide them. (Now we have Catholics there, Islam here, etc.) Now modern novel and philosophy was born; They want to collect those missing parts again in one, full picture.
It seems also, that we just can´t get rid of need of faith. I don´t want to be rude - no way. But if you have to know everything before believing, it makes life quite heavy, right? To me it does. I have been thinking these same things 18 years now, and this is the result. What i try to say, is that truth is not a house. It is a road. Road keeps going on. If you want to know everything, you will stuck - finally. This is the reason, why faith is needed. It is very clear, that world is full of different kind of religions. It makes very confusing feeling. We need security, but we just cant also say that; I want that this and that thing SHOULD be like this. If it is, i believe it, if it is not, i don´t. In restaurant you can eat the steak and leave the potatoes, but in life - marriage, frienship and even in beliefs it don´t work. This is just my point of view, and how i try to seek the truth.
Note: This is just my way to think these things, and all feedback will be welcome!
