The easy road is not the high road

I think that creationism is the easy way out. It is a way to describe the phenomenon of life itself, without examining life itself. It is easy to say that there are a set of rules that were prescribed long ago. It is a dedication of tradition to follow these beliefs. Moreso, it is hard to question that everything you thought you knew may not be true. So take the hard road--the road less traveled if you will. The gift bestowed upon mankind is reason; use it. Does it make sense to accept doctrines carte blanche? I cannot believe so, especially when such doctrines have provided the most strife between us. It doesn't make sense that land should be ravaged and people devastated over whether or not Jesus' life dictates which doctrines we follow. But say if it did, what did he say, not in the context of his life, but now. A fine line, fissure even, spreads across humanity in the wake of this approach. Understanding and compassionate thinking remain key. Bring peace into your life. It is better for all of humankind.
