Is this it?


The first paragraphs of the book I am writing...

Heaven has always been in my religion. But, really, what is religion? Is it believing in something you will never know, or is it a segregation that has boundaries where they should not be. Religion is something very important to me. But, then again, if you think about it, religion is just something humans want to grasp on to, to keep themselves from getting scared of what happens after your heart starts beating. But, maybe it’s the other way around. Maybe when your heart stops beating, your heart starts to beat. Maybe,  there is no such thing as religion, or life at all.
In the act of living, humans think of the afterlife as either nothing, good things, or bad things.  This is all based on the religion in which that person believes in. Every human believes in some type of religion, whether its not believing in God, or it is believing in God, or it is believing in your mind or philosophy. Philosophy is a religion, since you are believing in something that you don’t know is there or not there. But where is this so called ‘there?’ Is ‘there’ just a place that is made up in the mind, not brain, of a person’s thinking. Maybe we are all just crazy. Maybe nothing happens after living or maybe something does. Not knowing is just an excuse for not having the religion of philosophy. Philosophy is the religion of life and death, it is why we are on this planet called Earth, it is why we may not be on this planet called Earth. We could be on a planet or not any planet at all. We can be on a grain of sand or a star or Mars. We can all just be in one’s mind. Not the mind of ‘God‘, but the mind of one’s own. And know one ever knows until the ‘after-life’ or maybe we know now, but we just can’t wrap our minds around it.
