but then they've seen and know people suffer physical deaths..............so they thought '' Ah Ha ! there must be an Eternal After-Life after my mortal life ends !''
but where will that After-Life be at ?..................so people think it must be a most pleasurable and happy place since who wants to live Eternally in a shithole, right ?...............so let's call that dreamed-up Utopia........Heaven !
so the next question will be WHO created Heaven ??? well, just as Man has to create the tools he needs..........then SOMEONE must have created Man and Heaven and everything else !
so.........HEY PRESTO !!!............let's call this dreamed-up Creator/Maker...........God............
that's the reason why all religions contained stories that's far far too HUMAN to be Divine.............plus full of loopholes and flaws...........
There was this documentary on CNA which was shown some time ago. In it, it was revealed that the earliest forms of religion were shamanic beliefs, proably brought about by some young maniac who thought an animal sacrified itself and brought his sister back to life.

we all need guiding light somehow or rather....beliefs and hopes to grope on this life of survival ...
at work or in life, similarly, we need some kind of é� å±± back-up mountain...lol
religion is a form of innate security

from guiding light to political abuse....
humans are ever so innovative and scheming
only a handful is genuinely true and good

Telling the truth.
At the inquiry of a train collision accident.
The gate keeper told truthfully that he was on duty the night of the accident and he did signal the approaching train to stop. He recounted the time he received the message and he got out to the track and wave the red lamp in good time for the approaching train. Everything he did was told clearly and accurately. But the train driver did not heed the signal and smashed into a stalled train. So the gate keeper was not at fault, it seemed so. He told the truth.
It was found out later, there was no light in the lamp!
And the moral of the story is.............
Omission are not lies.
-
economical with the truth.......the thing with lies is you can lie, but for a good purpose and can save lives.... this is white lie, which is good.

Why is it so important what we believe?
Personally the only time I care what others believe is when what they believe is the impetus to cause unnecessary suffering. -

Beliefs by definition are usually grounded in insufficient evidence & are subsequently based in faith.
So over and above what we BELIEVE MAY BE TRUE, ie does GOD EXIST, is my particular religion true...etc, as long as what we believe motivates us to be loving, kind compassionate & especially non-violent to others then we should be ok with this. However, we should not have to accept behavior inspired by beliefs that causes unnecessary suffering.

When one wears a Badge - be it Islam (Muslim), Hinduism(Hindu), Buddhism(Buddhist), Christianity (Christian) - one is merely a prisoner- one is bound by so many tenents. It limits one in many ways. It is an unfreeing experience, one is in bondage. it is not an experience but rather that which is based on the collective beliefs, dogma and so on so forth. However, when one is BEING Mohd, Being Krishna(?), Being Buddha or Being Christ - one is flowing and one is relating to oneself and vice versa. One embodies consciousness of being eg Christ or .... one is free and one is longer bound to .... Sadly, in today's organized religion it is more of rituals and rituals. One is no longer flowing one is merely trapped. Real ''religion'' is evident in one who is loving, being kind, being grateful and I m sure many of us have across such a person. He or she has arrived. He/she has not alienated the God within him/herself. Many today are so alienated they go around searching looking for God (call whatever it may suit u) in a church , temple, mosque or ... When one cannot find God (or...) within him/herself one cannot find it in a church, temple , mosque or ... The godliness is a quality of one's being for eg, kind, compassionate or .... God is an abstration of the human mind. My standing a garage does not make me a car nor does my reciting relgious scripts in any make makes me holy. the reader is free to reject or whatever suits him/her - there are no answers to reality as levels of expereince differs with each individual's perception.
