Three today's questions without my answer

I am confused. Having unanswered questions is not easy, and even harder is trying to get answers. I have three questions today. Maybe some of you know the answer. That is why I will write about it.

Why does war still exist?

Breaking news. Russia has invaded Ukraine. In this article, I will not deal with the political aspects of this attack. I just want to try to understand what kind of world we live in today, but I find it difficult. Is it possible that in a highly civilized society, the war still exists? Yes, unfortunately, it is possible. But why? I have no answer. I feel disappointed. I was taught that there are many ways to negotiate and that words are the most powerful weapon. Lots of theories and solutions, significant knowledge, instructive war experiences have proven that war does not bring anything good. Lots of lives lost. Nothing was enough for us to progress as a society. We are still at a devastating bottom,and I will never understand the destructive side of human nature. Every war is lost at the beginning. Then why does it still exist?

Am I an atheist?

I was never religious. Not because I don't want to, but because I don't feel it. When I was a child, we went to church only twice a year when there were big Christian holidays, Easter and Christmas. I respect the church, but I was never sure if I believed and what I believed. I am science-oriented and find it hard to believe in something for which there is no evidence. For me, faith is something that everyone carries in themselves, in their soul, something that is not talked about, something that is not celebrated by customs, it is personal and not debatable.

Religion is a belief system and has always been an interesting field for me to explore because people around the world believe in different gods. I have never been able to understand why people believe in different gods if it is assumed that there is one God who created the world. I can't understand these illogicalities and that is why I do not know what to believe, which further implies that I do not believe. On the other hand, I cannot say that I am an atheist because there is also no evidence that God does not exist. Sometimes I would like to be religious because then prayer would help me in many life situations to feel calmer and easier to face difficult moments. But it is something we feel or don’t, and I, unfortunately, don’t feel it. So I don't know the answer to the question of whether I am an atheist. I don't believe it because I am not sure it is true, but I respect and I would like to believe if it is proven otherwise. What do you think, am I an atheist?

Why is time limited?

I have always wondered why people have their own shelf life. Why do we have to die? If I were religious, this would probably be easier to understand. That is why I respect and admire religious people. Time is unlimited and on the other hand, it is limited for each of us. We must use it carefully and wisely when we run out of supplies because we will run out of them one day. Life gives us opportunities to experience more than we can because we do not have enough time. Then why aren't we given unlimited time to experience all that life has to offer?

Thank you very much for reading.
