Whenever I ask someone involved in a religious
organization, the question, do you really believe in your religion? Most
of these people will often answer would be yes and start their religious
conversion. Some of these people can become very intrusive if I don't
stop them soon, very few of these people listen with an open mind.
I have talked to quite a few men and women about their beliefs over the
years and still find it hard to believe that most of them live a life of
faith with very little understanding or education about their religion.
Now some strong believers might take offense to that statement, while
others will listen to what I said and start doing a little more research
on their religion.
Most of these religions throughout the world make perfectly good sense
to their followers and I understand the reasoning behind some of them,
it's all they know, everyone around them believes in the same religion
and they get some sort of happiness and joy from it.
It's not hard to imagine a young child, walking around with strong
religious beliefs if their parents are strong believers in it also.
These children grow up and eventually train their children to follow the
same path of their parents. Our children should be able to choose, what
they will believe in, by the time they are adults.
This is a natural process of life, your parents learned from their
parents and whenever someone asked them a question that they really
couldn't answer or were uncomfortable answering, they can always reply
with, I'm living a life based on faith or you just have to believe. You
have to believe that someone is looking out for you and taking care of
you. Most of these people think that something else is responsible for
the events that take place in their life.
Is it possible for people that live a life of faith to educate
themselves about their religion, to find the origin and maybe the
destination of their religions. Could these people actually assume
responsibility for their choices, whether they're good or bad. It's
often hard to listen to somebody tell me that some evil entity made them
do something bad. These people are easily convinced by others who agree
with them and support them with their statements and beliefs. This seems
to be where the biggest problem lies.
Once the people around us support our beliefs, they soon become
realities in our lives. These realities will be transferred to others
around us and give them support eventually about their beliefs. It's
like a vicious circle that never ends. One believes supports another
belief, until it's a fact.
Education is the path to freedom and will soon deliver the students from
religious bondage. Someone a long time ago said," Seek and You Shall
Find, Knock on My Door and I Will Open It. |
