religion?

if there is a "God" and "He" made us in his likeness. and if "He" loves us so much he sent us his only son to take away our sins. and if "He" created the earth, sun, moon, stars. wouldn't he want us to question everything? how can he expect us to follow each other blindly based on no facts into "heaven"? if the rapture happens, wouldn't anyone with any faith; be it in god, in earth, in hell, in nothing-ness, would they all be called upon to enter heaven's gates? the bumper stickers "in case of rapture, car will be un-manned". why would a god pour so much energy and love into creating LIFE and giving us free will, only to demand that we follow these strict rules of ONE religion, with no actual reason, no definite answer as to what following that religion will get you?

my religion is life. love and life and earth and air. beauty in fucking EVERYTHING. the cement (speak of the devil, "what if god was one of us" is now playing on the radio) poured from a truck made of metal that came - through a process - from the earth. the weeds growing on the side of the road, reaching for the sun. just like us. the weeds can't think, they have no brain, no mind, no ideas, but they still reach for the sky. grow as strong and fast and tall and proud as possible, its what they're meant to do. us. we are meant to be a part of the earth, because thats where we came from. we are here to praise the earth and each other and love and love and love.
