I Just Don't Get It...

Religion has fascinated since the moment I realized that I had no beliefs. I was born and raised an Irish- Catholic. I attended mass and went to CCD. I really tried to understand and learn what all this was all about. Why is there a dead and bleeding man hanging
in every corner? Why did he have to die for our sins? Why are there so many other religions? How do we know this one is the right one? Why does God constantly test people's faith with tragedy?
How can God be all mighty and loving, yet horrible things happen to people and children everyday? 

I am not an Atheist.

I admit that up until recently, I was not clear as to what the differences were between an Atheist, an Agnostic, a Pegan, a Humanist and so on and so forth. What I found is that I am not an Atheist. I am glad that I know this now. 

Definitions:

ATHEIST: the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities. Most inclusively, atheism is the absence of belief that any deities exist.
   

AGNOSTIC:  is the view that the truth values of certain claims—especially claims about the existence or non-existence of God, as well as other religious and metaphysical claims—are unknown or unknowable.

We collectively don’t know if there is a God but we might find out in the future.”

      

Ancient artwork with images of UFO's...explain that?

This is one of my favorite topics. I wasn't aware of any of this until seeing the History Channel's "Ancient Aliens" one night and I was hooked. Why wouldn't make sense that visitors have been coming here to earth for thousands, even millions of years?
