So I'm agnostic but religious people are loving this.
Thoughts?

In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?”The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”

“Nonsense,” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”

The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”

The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”

The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.”

The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover, if there is life, then why has no one ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery, there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”

“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”

The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”

The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her, this world would not and could not exist.”

Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”

To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.”

Maybe this was one of the best explanations of the concept of GOD.

Babies aint thinking about that shyt.

Adults are ACTIVELY searching for answers and not finding any. Not twins. BILLIONS of people have lived and died asking these questions.

:heh: These babies having an active intelligent conversation and knowing what the umbilical cord is doing. Religious ppl will do anything to hold on to something old that doesnt translate into making sense in these modern times.

I think this is very rudimentary, but it helps to explain the understanding that people of faith have come to know, accept, and believe in.

As you stated you are agnostic, where do you believe life comes from and where will it end?

I actually do not know, & that is what makes me an agnostic.
Religious people are sure there is a God, atheists are sure there is not a God.
Humans feel discomfort saying they do not know.

I think being an agnostic is the most practical & scientific approach to life.
I believe that not only I don't know the answers to your question but also that neither do you!

i get why people WANT to be religious. shyt, i wish there was a party in the clouds, special appearance by Jesus, where all the "good" ghosts are floating around in paradise (:mjlol:)

however, as a rational adult, i dont believe in that bullshyt. especially since the story is so historically see through; sell a bullshyt story to poor and ignorant people, based strictly on hope that cant be proven, but meanwhile give the church money and we'll put in a good word for you

There are no Gods, only weak minded people who need to believe someone put them here to do something to appease said someone. Religion is the biggest con in human history.

I wouldn't put it quite that way. I consider myself an atheist (technically agnostic atheist) because I'm not convinced by any god stories offered by religions and I don't actively worship any gods. I don't know that there are no gods; that would put the burden of proof on me. If one makes a positive claim the burden of proof is on them. I'm simply not convinced.

But that's all changed now, and this story did it. :troll:
