The Believers

With the idea of all religions being equal, the next step is to decide if one were to even need to follow a religion. What is the purpose, other than to guide one through life in a fake robotic matter. Although christianity along with other ways of belief very well do have sensible answers to the questions that were asking they only blind the eye to the real world. They give society a fall back to the personal issues they face. Through personal experiences I have found that religion is easier to follow when you are at a low, or at a time of struggle, I wont lie and say christianity cant be conforting, becuase it can and will be. But when society simply depends on a higher power to resolve there problems, and to blind them with excuses, it demotes us all. We become a lower class of humanity, we let fairy tales baby us and give us the idea that we dont have control over the final output of our lives, and if that is so, why are we here, so much as a thought that predestination is in fact true is mind blowing, if we live in a world of predestination, then we are all just wired robots walking the earth until our batteries die. But in fact we do have control over our decisions, and for some reason we have lost grip of that important knowledge.

The Believers

What is the truth of believing, is it simply a long drawn out process of half truths that can give comfort to the one who is looking for answers? Throughout history religions upon religions have been created to give somewhat of a reason, or purpose to the existance of humanity. The truth is, that society as a whole has fallen into the trance of sticking to a belief and accepting it as the one and only way. What we have forgotten is that there is more than one way, more than one " answer" to the questions we face. But does religion truly give us the confort were looking for? Or does it simply just paint over the reality of the world? Its up to the common follower to step outside his or her comfort zone, and put themselves in the shoes of a follower of a different religion, when one can do this he or she will see that you can expierience the the same comforting feeling and have "faith" through a different religion. My main statement is simply if a religion requires faith to make it a whole, it is as real as the next, puting every religion or so called answer on the same playing field.
