It's Sunday, and in several minute's time, Monday will arrive. I've never felt so comfortable doing my own things at my own pace this morning, and that all the time I was going to church just for the sake of going, has now spared me of such agony. At last I could finally say to my contented self that I have been liberated. For years I was stuck in that church filled with disgusting politics within cell groups, bias and resentments among the members, and swaggering authority among the leaders. Yet, my doubts and indecision kept me wavering and in huge dilemma. Now, I've made a decision to leave my cell group and start my life afresh outside of church. In fact, I believe, that there are many more things I could do in this world and in this life time of mine. Religion and God are not the only essentials that people crave nor are they of the only importance, but the overall satisfaction and inner peace lay not in religion, but in the constant seeking of knowledge and meaning of one's existence.
As I have no longer much to complain about since my departure from a place that has plight me with resentments and bitterness, I would thereby blog less about religion and faith as this topic has taken a toll on my blog and ripping it off its own main purpose. I admit I have been too focused over the past several months writing solely about my philosophies, and indifference toward all kinds of religion. The reason being that my experience during those times were pretty much grounded into my struggle with religious people, questioning of religious faiths, and arguments over irrational superstitions. Thus, since the matter was over and that the case is already closed, I would now start a new chapter in my blogging history by changing the subject.
It has been a very good experience letting out my steam as I blog during those times of agony and deep thoughts. I have learned many things through reading widely during my free time, and writing creatively whenever I had the chance. However, blogging is still my central hobby, except that these days I am swarmed with deadlines to meet. I am very happy that I have found my way out of religion for the time being and start a brand new life in search of a better living. I think this should be the way that everyone should go about doing, as it is so important to seek happiness, freedom, and one's meaning of existence. That said, I currently value each and every moment of my life doing things that I love to do - anything that excludes the idea of religion, faith, or God. It makes me feel better in many ways, as compared to the times I was struggling to mix around with people whom I do not really enjoy being with. The reason is very clear - I wasn't appreciated, so I won't want to waste my time of my precious life trying to please everybody. I want to first, please myself, and the few who are close to me and whom I love, because they deserve better.
Anyway, I'm thinking of setting up a Free Thinker's community online by creating a forum. There would be endless topics which anyone could discuss about, and the aim of this forum is to bring Singaporeans together such that a strong local community and interactions of free thinkers, atheists, agnostics, or humanists etc. would be built over time. But first... I need supporters and initial members. Haiz...
