We’re brought into this world fed a bowl of lies. Either there is some fluffy guy with a beard in the clouds who has spent forever and a day making *only* your life perfect and orderly, or that same guy in the clouds killed his own kid because he thought you were cooler. We always seem to hear what we want to hear to make us feel comfortable instead of the truth.
The downside to this philosophy is that it’s believing a *possible* truth. Any religion, dogma, belief, or occult is just that – a belief. I decided to walk away from all of these and spawn my own belief system, Idon’tknowism. It’s very simple in the fact that the name of this belief also describes what the basic belief is – Admitting to not knowing the answers. Religion, throughout history has been the number one contributor for war and death, yet we can’t seem to jump over that hurdle. It’s very crafty in the fact that it condemns those who would dare speak against it, and so I decided to steal this model for my belief structure as well.
If we turn the tables, and reflect religion back upon itself we begin to see the irony. Imagine if people had been slaughtered for having any belief whatsoever. This would have made the Spanish Inquisition much more interesting.
I think the truly disturbing aspect of beliefs is that so many people never read for themselves. Among many of these religious texts you’ll find the prophets/soothsayers speak against organizational fraternization, yet we are taught these things by that structure itself. The core practices (on average) speak of being kind to anyone & everyone, which is a very simple concept. What if a Mormon and a Muslim hook up and have kids? You laugh at the very thought of it, but that fact alone demonstrates the rift that religion has caused between humanity itself.
Is it logical to kill someone based on belief?
Is it logical to be unkind to someone based on belief?
Is it logical to that belief should destroy/affect relationships?
