If there really is one true religion, wouldn't it be an unfair disadvantage for people not born into the religion and expected to turn their whole lifestyle around for that one true religion all by themselves?
Very the what sia.
As much as our perception of god is bearded, white-haired and muscular (at least for me, very Greek god-ish) I feel that many of us have a misconception of god's work. We think that he controls our fate, controls physical and mental communication, and is very bloody authoritative and arrogant (because why else would he want people to keep worshipping him), that might not be the case at all.
For all we know, all he does is teach.
Teaches us how to walk.
Teaches us how to talk.
Teaches us the strength of love.
Teaches us the power of greed.
Teaches us.. all there is to life.
Like a good teacher does. And how much we absorb and put into action, it's a little like Mathematics. I think that Mr Benson Lee tried everything including bribing me with chocolates to come to extra Maths lessons and he would teach and practise and teach selflessly but until now I have no goddamn idea how to do quadratic equations.
And how I input quadratic equations into life skills beats me.
It's just us human beings reading too much into his teachings. And claim that we need to worship even though it means giving up a chance to explore your life at your will with no boundaries.
I am starting to believe that all religions are bullshit. Religions set people apart. The only one true religion is,
humanity.
For me, the only good thing about religion is that it shows cultural diversity.
Thank you Guan Cheng for showing off all your religious knowledge the other day, as it had set me into full Aristotle mode. (That's philosopher mode in case you don't get it)
