A roll of the dice.

People that understand the mechanics of the Universe are very aware and self actualized people. Jesus, Gandhi, etc

also, when you 'pray' you're speaking to God(Universe)

You're a hop, skip and a jump away from echoing Mormonism right here. Not too often I get to say that, and it's probably not a good thing.

I know your overall ideology is different, but in this section I was like hmm I've seen this before.

Let's grow up to be Gods.

This is what I believe in.

I don't believe in "God" first of all, before organized religion humans only had faith. Faith derived from fear driven by the fact that they didn't know where they were going to go when they died. Someone came along instilled their own dogma on groups of people (I.E. There's power in numbers) Others soon followed, etc.

My faith is simply that there's is something greater then myself, which might have created the universe or at least know how it was created. Whether it was planned or happened out of pure random but seemingly planned circumstances, it doesn't matter. I understand that I'll never be able to fully comprehend how it happened and I'm content with that. I also can never fully accept that my conscience with cease to exist because my heart stopped pumping. Life would be pointless if were born to simply die, with nothing to contribute after we have physically passed on.

90% of our cells have their own microbial DNA that aren't "us'. The atoms is our body are 99.99_% empty space and we weren't born with them, they came from the belly of a star. We have 46 chromosomes, 2 less then the common potato. etc. etc. etc.

In conclusion the odds are really stacked against us as far as being "special" or here for a purpose beyond existing just to exist but why would we have a conscience and have the ability to create organized religions that have comforted billions of people throughout the history of our existence. Also, before organized religion we had the ability to create beliefs that benefited the community we resided in. We've collectively done incredible things, created amazing gadgets, as human beings. We might not even be here for a reason but dammit we'll make our own and live holding on to that hope.

not even close. Mormonism gets its ideas from other belief systems as does every modern religion

the source for my beliefs are the origins of every belief system that have been manipulated and presented to man in a Disney-like fashion. while ya'll niggas look @ Catholicism/Christianity, I'm asking 'ok thats cool but where did those religions come from?'...then when I find the belief system it came from, I ask, now where did that belief system come from? they all lead to a very similar truth... more likely than not, Mormonism stemmed from the beliefs I have that many share & have had since the beginning of mankind, and not the other way around.
