😊😊 I have always been the advocate of free thought. And I have always made it clear to one and all that I am person of faith. But not a person of religion. I spread the word in my own way. By being open minded and promoting open-mindedness . Thank you. I am happy that you understand, @portiajay. I am an artist. 😊
every religion tells to think and attain knowledge. i am muslim so i can tell about islam. there are a lot of verses.
Are those "who Know" equal to those "who not"?(Questions in surprise)
Seek Knowledge, though you may have to travel to china..(As china was very far away from Arabs lands)
O lord, increase my knowledge..(it is a prayer in Quran)
every one is rewarded for the efforts he makes.
Allah will exalt in rank those of you who beleive and those who have knowledge.
.... and many more verses like thes. I beleive Jews and Christians also promote knowledge.
Do you understand the meaning of this statement - "I am a person of Faith . Not a person of religion " ... It means that no matter what religious tag you carry or community you are born into, you believe in the universal and basic core values of humanity . And believe that whatever name you give, Divinity is the same for all .
This is definitely not a discussion on religious texts and scriptures !!
The above statement is for all religious orders of the world. Religious order controlled by churches, mosques and temples were aimed at governing a society . It is the oldest form of governance. They are ritualistic and authoritarian , and do not allow independent thought. This is an established fact of the socio-political history and social movement of the world.
The faith is different. All those who believe in God and goodness, speak the same language of love , compassion and kindness etc.
All scriptures advocate peace and tolerance.
The comment I made is in context to the article by @dmiton , on Rasputin, who was a threat to the church order and the royal order because of his independent thought and popularity.

Ones religion is none of other person business. so one should be open minded and respect for other people feelings.
Do you have any clue what you are talking about ? This is not a discussion about religion !!!!

Religious order wants slaves and zombies. It does not respect free thought :)
