Lake Day - Religion Of My Sunday #368
I'm just trying to understand religion overall and questions I ask my self while kicking back at the lake watching the water flow on shore. Strange the kind of things we look back on as we where younger we are taught to believe in this and that but at the end of the day don't have any facts in why one should believe in anything. For humans truth and facts are the most important thing you can have because it helps us not to make the same mistakes over and over again. It's sort of a way to navigate around the forces that want to trip us up at every corner. So to ask a human to believe in something with out asking question is to make one into a slave with out question. Faith is to trust with out question, the problem is to trust with out question makes sheep.
Why do we have free thought and the ability to pick out paths if we are to trust with out question? It's not fair to ask that in a chaotic space like earth because it opens humans up for attack in so many ways by evil to just trust in anything made, said, done in chaotic space. The only way to survive this place is by knowing the truth and knowing the facts and even that is incredibly hard to do on that front because evil likes to twist and turn words and facts into something else.
People forget this is chaotic space and anything in chaotic space is chaotic, some more then others however still chaotic. That is why God can't come here, God is here for as much as God can be. It's also why the Devil/Satan can't come here, It's why they both have children born to chaotic creatures with/like humans for just this place. It's also why the son of god died on the cross for our sins.
This is positive and the negative clashing with each other creating chaotic space and when they are done clashing... this chaotic space gets ripped apart leaving only negative to negative and positive to positive, this place would be like heaven on earth if all the positive goes to the positive and should all the negative go to a negative and it would be hell on earth.
When an angel falls it's like a solder falling in battle. It's why they call them fallen angles and where do they fall? To earth in the chaotic place created by God and the Devil clashing. So when you read the bible and change a few words here and there remember it was still created by a chaotic human that no matter how much we would want them to be are not perfect. Perfect doesn't exist in a chaotic world. The bible is not perfect and the translation x10 so. Just remember where you're at, learn who you are and make the best choices as you can, love God but with understanding of where you're at.
Maybe it's not that simple but maybe it is, I'm just a guy who's been trying to un program as much as I can to have back my free thoughts. It just seems everywhere I look someone is trying to tell me how to think, even down to the roots of our past as humans, it's always been about something to believe in, in hope in God and not really about believing in each other and trying to inspire each other with hope. I'm not anti God but I wont allow my self to be mislead. If we are made with individual choice it was for a reason as not to be lead down a path thinking it's good while really not being and after all the path to hell was paved by good intentions, it really does rings true here. I my self refuse to be a slave to anyone or anything, we are meant for more and if God wanted slaves he wouldn't of made us with the ability to choose.
Perhaps when we die all of our energy splits up into two parts, positive and negative each taking its own path so in that sense we would be being going to hell and heaven. So wouldn't the meaning of life be to create as much positive experience as you can with out doing negative to others as to build up our positive side so we can make the trip to heaven? Maybe heaven on earth is for ones who can't make the trip all the way back to a pure form of positive energy? I don't know the answers but I think asking the questions helps us to find the answers as my perspective as everyone else's is unlike any others, one of a kind, unique. It's when we all have one thing in common is when we all find the answers, the truth. I hypothesize as a tool to learn we one should however It's only with the interest of others that it becomes true or false giving us another path to pick from. This is information for you to take and learn, not to be lead blindly with so much dangers as evil around we can't afford to be lead blindly down any path in hopes it's true.
When reading words it can be twisted and turn into anything else to be used as an instrument if done cleverly enough can be used to kill, steal, rob and rape and pillage as we have seen in the past as so will it be in the future unless we change it. We see this on a political field as well, to believe in a leader that makes promises and never keeps them doing things behind the sense to benefit them self and other with them. We allow it because we feel like they are disconnected from us, We feel like we have no way to be heard with out repercussions. We work and try to keep our heads above water to keep our self out of debt only to be lead into more debt giving us no real choice in making a better life for our selves. I know we would like to think we live free but nothing could be rather from the truth as the object is to make you feel like your free with out being free. To make you think you picked the choices you have vs not having any real good choices at all to pick from... Case in point... our leaders. It's that way on so many levels and most of us are to busy to see things on that level. When someone says something about it bad actors try to shut it down saying well it's better in this country than other countries, when I hear this my first reaction is "That is not an excuse for failure, If it's not done right don't stop trying to do it better." I'll say.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on religion. I think, for millenniums there was no questions about a supernatural power ruling the world. Only since the enlightenment common people start to question established religions.
"Faith is to trust with out question, the problem is to trust with out question makes sheep." Maybe it is true for adults but for children it is fundamental for their existence. This early universal human experience is the base of all religions. The modern man, who can't trust anyone seems completely overwhelmed by fear and questions he can't answer. He, in some way, has to fill the void which used to be the place of God(s). How does it look like? Consumerism, ideologies and a myriads of cults and pseudo religions.
If God doesn't exist, he should be invented, someone said. I think it is true concerning personal peace and health. Religions are a different topic, I guess.
Lucky you, to be so close to the water.
It's important for parents to teach there children how to survive in a world that will gobble them up in an instant. Children trust parents because they love and protect them that is a factor that remains in this point of view. I'm not saying no God exist but rather not in the system that an organizational religion of any sort that has more church's then they homeless. When I'm being told to give and God will forgive my sins on one hand but on the other telling me money is the root of all evil and I should be shamed with greed because I have a little more than someone else.
You said. "The modern man, who can't trust anyone seems completely overwhelmed by fear and questions he can't answer." Fear isn't bad, it's apart of our sense and protects us from events that might do us harm. It's about learning how to control your fears and use it as the tool it needs to be so you might survive. By hiding from or ignoring your fear you will never learn the lessons that can help you open your perspective and handle ones that might use fear to control and hurt you or your loved ones. As for the pseudo religions that is like stepping stones away from the core belief systems because something was wrong with it so people explored onto finding the answers and this is what it looks like, a path of stepping stones searching for the truth because we are man and we are made to seek the truth and answers, It simply is the core of humans to do so. I can trust but I can also search for the truth and answers until I don't have to trust enough to make my steps to the next steps.
Something good exist We call it God as something bad exist and we call it Evil/Satan. We see so many names for God that it gets confusing and to be honest as long as we are going in the right direction it doesn't matter what you call God. God should never enslave it's people in any way. If we are born with choices we should be able to exorcise our choices with out temperament or punishment by others. If you was to tell your child to believe in me or else I will destroy you that would make you a bad parent. If you was to tell your child I love you and I'll be here when you fall they can not deny you and you're love for them. Why give your child a choice and put them in a chaotic world where you will 100% make mistakes and punish them? Sounds like a catch 22 doesn't it. At least on earth the parent was around to help raise that child, well not in all cases but you know where I'm going with this.
I'm not saying God doesn't exist, I'm saying it's time to take the next step in learning more about it. We know it's not the old ways. The new ways can be worse if the wrong people control it. So You have to ask your self what is God and what does that mean to you. Could it be a pure intellectual energy that loves us and wants to help us become better every moment we exist? On the other hand we have the Devil that wants to trick us, put us through hell and use us as slaves and worse. People are just trying to path through this chaos and it's getting harder and harder everyday as tech is being created and used to cause malevolence in your everyday live so you can't find your way, You can see it on tv from politics to tv shows. online media and schools. It's all about programming your kids minds so when they grow up they become like them. I do believe in God, It's just not in the way others do and I'm still trying to find my way just like everyone else.
This is quite an answer. Never I got such a long one. Unfortunately, my 100% vote gives you only a meagre $0.01.
Let's start with the end of your reply. New technology also can help to find orientation in religious issues. Have you heard about Matt Liston? With his 0XΩ blockchain based project, he tries to get the truth, our better essence out of all religions and has even created a new one. It looks a bit like an artistic joke or performance, but his idea comes out of similar musings like ours, means he wants to fill the void again. About 100 years ago L.Zamenhof, the creator of Esperanto has done something similar with is Homaranismo project https://steemit.com/esperanto/@johano/zamenhof-en-tempo-de-blok-eno-cifereca-homanorismo, but it never really took off.
Heaven and hell are words I prefer to use for the here and now, like love and war. I try to accept our earthly conditions and if I am capable I try to improve situations in my life. The word sin I don't like to use anymore. It is burdened with the Catholic idea of guilt, which only serves the clergyman to subjugate us.
I like your comparison with the stepping stones. They are everywhere. Those are apparently not the wide staircases leading to the Vatican.
I look around for the right stepping stones myself. To keep empty spaces in your mind, that Spirit can evolve, might be helpful. Perhaps less searching than to be prepared.
A blockchain for truth, amazing, what would they do should we develop a blockchain for the government? That would really cause a lot of problems for them wouldn't it.
Religion blockchain, Government blockchain.... Well now we have our self a path. What's this toilet seat for $640 for a toilet seat for your office? Now if it was for Air Force I can understand because it's up in the air and the contents has to stay inside while sloshing around and that means custom design and installation. Now we can tell them apart and see where the theft and abuse is happening.
"To keep empty spaces in your mind, that Spirit can evolve" I really like this part, May I use this in the future?
I don't mind how much it it's worth, to me the engagement was where the value is at, that being said I do like money and currency as I'm subject to it being the value I have to use to for wealth not counting the other kinds of wealth one must have to pursue happiness.
Yes It kind of got away with me with the amount of text, next thing I knew it was a post! lol I'll have to google translate your post so I can read it :P
