What would you call this?
February 6, 2012 at 7:31 pm
What do you think this belief is? My belief are that if there is a being or deity or force in the universe it is balanced and fair and breath life in to all things and creatures(even that not of this world) and is part of us and maybe starts the chain of events that allows us to evolve?

Unfounded?
In all seriousness though it sounds like pantheism, but I am far from an expert on such things.

I feel when ever I pin something down something messes with my head throwing it up in the air, I base everything I know on cold hard facts but then i get this feeling like there just something there and I have know idea, or its my over active mind messing with me time and time again and the feeling is not in my heart but my head, and I want it to go away, when every I see something I go one way but at the same time I go the other when I see cold hard fact. I just I just don't know what to belief

I would call it "halfway to realizing that there are no magical sky-daddies at all."

I have never been brought up to believe this but ever since I came out religion has been messing with my mind. I hate it I want to kill it dead, but can't wrap my head around it.

Well, I believe that is a common problem, and is probably a huge factor in why religion is so big. The analytical part of the mind can't overrule the emotional part of the mind. Just keep reminding yourself that religious beliefs shouldn't be based on what you feel, but what you feel can be proven. Or maybe you just need to not think about it so much. Is it really that important to pin down your beliefs in such a manner?

Huh?
Don't think about it too much, dude. Get a great hobby and whether there is a god or not will not matter.
