I'll put it into easier words:

Religion means nothing to me. What do I gain from being Religous? Nothing. Or is the satisfaction and the "goodness" of Christianity? (as an example). No, I don't care about Religion. That's the simplest way I can put it. I don't care about a lot things, and Religion just happens to be in that category.

Why limit yourself to religion? What do you gain from investing interest in anything which cannot be proven real or not real? You have a lot of conflicting statements and beliefs on your hands.

You just don't give up. As a start, why don't you give me other examples, things that cannot be proven. Maybe then I can explain my views more.

I WAS a Christian until about grade 5 or so... until I released all the time I spent and everything I did meant nothing to my life. It may mean something to you, and it may mean something to society as a whole, but it means nothing to me. My views on Religion can be summed up like this:
I do not care.

That's it.

Ok, you want examples, I'll give you some things that cannot be proven:

1. Breathing
2. Food
3. Sleeping
4. A College Ruled Notebook

These things cannot be proven real.

Lol.. what the hell?

So breathing can't be proven? Then why is breathing the only way I'm living right now?

Food can't be proven? Then why do we die without food? Food is an essential part of life, it can be any type of food, as long as it's a source of energy, THAT is a scientific fact.

If I don't sleep, how do I restore energy? Sleeping is a form of restoring energy, humans do it every day, how is that unproven?

And a notebook? What is there to prove about it?

1. Define living.

2. Who are you to say we die if we don't eat. Can you prove death?

3. How do you know you're really alsleep. If you can't recall what you were doing for eight hours last night, than how do you expect me to believe you were sleeping?

4. Prove that a notebook is indeed a notebook. Prove it exists.

1. You're getting off topic. How does this relate to me about not caring about Religion?

2. Hmm.... why don't you try not eating for a while? Perhaps until you fall face-first on the floor? You'll see my point then.

3. Who cares? I go to bed when I'm tired, when I get up 8 hours later, my body is refreshed and ready to start a new day. That's all I need to care about at this point in my life.

As stated twice, you are taking me too literally, and definitely taking this a bit too far.

1. I don't live. Prove me wrong.

2. Can you prove death doesnt exist?

3. If you ate food and you are no longer hungry, how can you prove that you did in fact eat that food? Can you prove the past?

4. A notebook is a notebook because I say it is. Prove me wrong.

Meanings of life are based upon how you interpret them. There is no right or wrong, there is only opinion.

what in the world are you smoking? College ruled notebooks are most certainly real, and can be proven so.

The only person who can disapprove of something like that is God, and you might be the person that he is disapproving of.

Yes, this post is indeed wierd. I believe that my religon is the one and only correct one because I want too. And if you give me crap that the only reason I believe this is because I grew up believing, than Im going to tell you good for me. I guess I got luckier that that hindu kid.

And if you truly believed in God, there would be no room for the possibility of other gods. It ruins everything about believing in God. If you admit that you might be wrong, you are not truly faithful and cannot be considered a real Christian...

Too right. His post was very wierd. And your second paragraph is also very true.

For Your Information: The things shown in the Matrix are not true. It is a fictionary world created by some guy that had too much time on his hands. It is a great movie, but you should not believe what it says. I think you've watched it one too many times.
