The Mystery of Believing
Faith is what we have inherently in our nature but if it is use without intelligence by just believing in anything what is said to you without assessing it logically, that faith could ruin and devastate your life.
Faith is really mysterious because you are believing in what you are not certain and sure of and what your eyes do not yet see and touch. Believing in to something quickly like for examplebelieving in God’s existence deviate the realm of logical thinking as some rationalist would say. Before believing in to something immediately, you got to see first that it exist and it is true as most rationalist and realist would suggest if you don’t want yourself to fall into the trap of fraud. Yes, because most people so often given quickly their trust to anyone, they sometimes end up being trapped on a fraudulent activity or become a defenseless victim of the one who deceives them into believing that this and that could make them rich, could give them health, could give them a supernatural powers like in believing in magic formulas, believing in prayer requests which sometimes have charge disguised in a form of donation, believing in love matches which so often not true, and most of all believing in religions’ empty promises of salvation and afterlife which are evidently hegemonic in nature, exploiting people’s money through so called “tithing” and enslaving people through instilling fear and “master-servant” mindset and hate to other religions which does not belong to their own religion which only causes disunity, animosity, discrimination, prejudice, and atrocity to their fellowmen instead of harmony, unity, love, understanding, peace, kindness, respect for life, and equality.
Yes, these would be the result or eventualities of too much faith or too much believing into something. There is term for too much faith beyond already the realm of reason and logic, that is, fanaticism.
Fanaticism is no more spirituality because it is already a blind obsession on something or so called “blind faith” because fanaticism and the fanatics have only one eyes and one sided mind. That is what they only see is the one they obsessively adore, worship and believe in but blind to other things happening around them and their logic, reasoning and intelligence have been eclipse by their fanaticism. Yap, they have been transform into what their religious leaders or religious masters want them to be – slaves and servants. Is this salvation anyway? Perhaps, enslavery and mind control.
What I have discussed above is one of the failures and disasters or in a euphemistic term, a disadvantage of too much believing in to something. Too much faith could make any one blind. Yap, it is the “much” that is always wrong because too “much” is no longer good as what they say.
But faith or believing in have of course good side or advantages, it is only the “too much” that will lead us into a wrong way or will mislead us. Actually, faith and trust keep us work together peacefully with other people or which keeps our community, society, and our world working together harmoniously. For without believing and trusting other people, we could not build any relationship that builds and strengthens our community, our society and our world.
So all I can say don’t stop believing.
Believing In Religions
Published 04/09/2011 | Are You Believing In Religion?
Brief Summary : Believing In religions we have now today in our world does not equated in believing in God because those religious leaders who leads the organized religions we have today does not actually leads their members into peace and harmony in society rather they teach them to hate other people in other religion.
Who cares if you do not belong to any organized religions we have today, is that really matters? I guess those Christians and Muslims who mostly in war against one another until now will compel you that if you join their religion your soul is already rest assured safe and saved in the time of judgment day. So silly as it may seem that believing in Christianity’s doctrines and dogmas or believing in Islam’s doctrines and dogmas will grant you a sure seat at heaven or paradise as if you are reserving a seats on an air flights by buying early airline tickets. How can they be sure if they themselves exhibit barbaric atrocities to other people who do not belong to their respective religions and waging “holinized” wars like crusades and jihads? Are they nuts? Who can forget the Inquisitions, the secret sexual perversity of the popes and priests, the Muslim extremist and the suicide bombers? Only those who have reduced or little consciousness of what is really happening behind the veil of religions are the ones they could make into proselytes, obviously. But those who are aware and believing that religion should not be evil and atrocious as what these two dominant religions ( Christianity and Islam) exhibits would not give in, in believing in Islam or believing in Christianity.
If believing in Jesus means hatred to other people who does not belong to Christianity and forceful conversion of one into proselytes, then believing in Jesus means bullshit, hypocrisy, and not believing in love and understanding which preachers use as just a mere sheep’s cloth and mask to attract one to believe and to be converted. It is indeed hypocrisy and deception. So that when you are already converted into their religion, they can tithe money from your pocket and frightened you that if you don’t contribute money to the church or congregation, God will punish you and all forms of evil will befall on you. Moreover, they will accuse you with deceptive false accusations like “you are so selfish that you won’t offer your money to God”, “Look at your brothers and sisters in our church they give money and offer their wealth to God, that is why God bless them, so you why can’t you? You don’t want God’s blessings? My dear brother/sister?”
Yap, it is so very deceptive like the sales talk of a salesman that you are entice and succumb to believe in what is being discuss and indoctrinated to you.
Believing in religion does not only require faith but also intelligence and logic, if this particular religion is worth believing in or not. Believing in religions we have now, does not count that you already believe in God because it is so pretty obvious that the organized religions we have today does not exemplify true belief in God because of the evil and atrocities they exhibit to the world.
Therefore, believing in God is not believing in religions that is in the world we have today neither believing in religion or joining a religion is already believing in God or you have already faith in God.
So be wary of your faith lest most evil people will use it to exploit you through your faith in any way and manner they could manipulate you through it. Faith and religion are easy tools to deceive people and of course to be financially rich if you tithe everyday you million believers 50% of their income.
Believing in Religion and Magic
Published 04/07/2011 | Defense and Attack Mode
Defense mode that is we defend our belief systems against someone who will attack what we believed in, and Attack mode in other hand, is our attitude of attacking other people’s what they believe in. Take for example, if one believes in magic, the other one who does not believed on it will attack the believers of it. Like in Christianity, believing in magic is said to be satanic and demonic, for to believe in magic as modern Christianity teaches is not believing in god at all. For believing in magic is believing in witchcraft, which of Satan or devil, as the modern Christianity teaches. And from this standpoint, it is evident that Faith divides humanity rather than uniting them.
The Effects of Believing in and not believing in
What does believing have brought into us? And similarly, what does not believing on anything have also brought into us?
We have already discuss above that believing in on anything and not having a consensus to your fellow men who have an opposite belief or contradictory belief to what you belief in will only cause dispute, strife, intense argument and even slandering act, which is sometimes becomes the major reason for war outbreaks like the Muslim-Christian Crusade Wars in the middle ages.
Even today this Muslim-Christian has not ended both parties were throwing muds to one another, that according to them both have corrupted the Abrahamic scriptures. Is this a good example to drive converts to their respective belief systems? Certainly it is not, for because of this useless wranglings, many now despises in believing in religion that causes only strifes like these two major religions of our world causes. Thus, many inquire about meditative religion such like the Buddhism or Hinduism religion.
Therefore if believing in has somewhat not good effects to us humans like we have discuss above, what does “not believing” on anything bring the non-believers?
A non-believer or one who stop believing in to anything (but this is impossible, for any being even if one is an atheist has its own set of beliefs, for if one does not have any beliefs, that one is a Dead thing) if there is one, that one is a living dead. For how can one live if one does not even believe that he or she is alive?
Anyway, a non-believer, for example on Islam or on God will lose some important ideas and insights regarding such beliefs but if a non-believer to it cares (of course, one does not care because one does not believe on the ideas of Islam or about god), that would be beneficial to one’s intelligence or spiritual journey.
Believing In God, Jesus, Prayers, Love
Published 04/07/2011 | Believing in to anything you would like to believe will surely have a great impact on your way of life, because believing to something is choosing what way of life you will live.
Believing in to something, like believing in love, believing in god, believing in magic, believing in prayer powers, et cetera builds up sometimes our spiritual confidence and spiritual ego. However, sometimes it ruins us if what we believe in is actually wrong and destructive in nature once we realized its true colors and effects on us. But despite of all of this negativity, some still don’t stop believing to what they believe but remain steadfast.
Furthermore, believing in to something and not believing to something as well, is a matter of choice and motivation of our mind. It is on our hands which one we will embrace on our way of life. That is, ifbelieving in Jesus or believing in Islam makes our life complete, so it be.
Why does believing in is so powerful to control us?
Yes, have you ever wonder why our life is wrap up on believing into this and that, we can’t breath as long as we do not believe we are breathing or alive. That is really an amazing fact and mysterious truth that perplex us. How such faith on anything molds our entire way of life.
We wonder why this is so?
Faith is really an integral part of our existence and the motivation of our mind. It is the on and off button that turns our mind to be programmed like this or that, and our pre-programmed mindset is reflected on the way we live our lives. Take for example, if our minds have been programmed that eating fruits and vegetables makes us healthy, we then live up that belief buy really eating fruits and veggies in our diet or daily meals, we even then buy or plant ones on our backyards or courts. Moreover, some even make a pro-active campaign for it or a promotional campaign that supports and that advocates it, that eating fruits and vegetables makes us healthy.
However, in the contrary, if one does not believe that eating fruits and vegetables makes us healthy, that non-believer will not support such campaign but rather counter-ruin it by exposing ideas or insights or another belief contrary to it. Moreover, you can also see on the daily meal or diet of this non-believer a zero fruit and vegetable servings; neither can you see any fruit-trees or vegetables plants on one’s yard or courts.
This is just a simple example of the major reasons why world-religions today, especially Christian and Muslims were opposing one another or in war against one another.
What you believe in Causes division
Disputes, fightings, strifes, contentions, Wars, and similar sort, what do they have in common? They are clashes and collisions of one’s personal belief systems. One argues that believing in these things is blasphemy or idolatry but the other one argues that believing in these things is not a blasphemy or not idolatry at all as one’s opponent trying to argue or fight. And when both parties does not have consensus to what they argue about, war starts!
See, what does believing in Jesus, believing in god, believing in Christianity, believing in Islam,believing in religion, et cetera has brought into us humans. Believing in whatever we believed sometimes put us in a defense mode or attack mode to our fellow human beings who have different belief systems against us.
