Religion and God
- Theism: Belief in one God. (58)
- Atheism: Rejection of belief in God. (56)
- Agnosticism: In between to make the decision about the existence or non-existence of God. (54)
- Indifference: Does not care about whether God exists or not. (53)
- Freedom as compared with commitment: Ironically, the freedom costs the time and effort to find out the options and once you make a decision, you must commit to do it. (1)
- The God Question: It is the question on whether God exists or not. The answers to this question set the value of everything, including the ultimate value of your life. Also, it determines what any human life is ultimately worth. (2)
- “Grow more human”: No human being is perfect but improvable. Only human being can screw up one’s own life by the choice that the human being makes. (129)
- “Death is a comma”: It is one of answers to the God Question, whether God exists or not. The death is the end period of the human experience on earth however, if you believe in God and the afterlife, there will be a new start with God. Therefore, the death is not a period but comma of your life. (177)
- “Moment at the pump”: It is the moment that you find the light in your life and discover the possibility in you. (145)
- Theology as compared with religion: Theology is what you know and religion is what you do and actually making action as you makes the decision to believe. (3)
- Faith as compared with belief: Faith is a calculated risk and belief is what you accept. Faith requires more action than just believing something. (2-3)
- Primary as compared with secondary reality: Primary reality is the objective fact and the secondary reality the subjective opinion. (12)
- Real as compared with rational evidence: Real evidence is firsthand, experiential and certain and rational evidence is secondhand, academic and probable. Rational evidence depends on your research and reasoning. (45)
