JUST A THOUGHT - OF GODS AND HUMANS : THE FAITHFUL ARE NOT WITHOUT DOUBTS, BUT..! THE END..!






To question and have doubts about their god and what they believe and preach about god and their religion. 

This is why we speak of 'religious dogma.' What is being preached is taken for granted, it is encouraged to be perceived as axiomatic; self-evident. 

Even where it is clearly not so. Having doubts is one thing; expressing them in public is quite another. 

It represents a danger to the survival of religious establishment. It is the reason



It is therefore better to perpetuate a lie than to acknowledge a 'truth', unless the religious hierarchy is still strong enough to then 'explain away the significance of that truth.' 

Or to some how 'accommodate, assimilate or convert 'the new truth/s' into the religious orthodoxy. 

Therefore, timing and the relative strength of the religious establishment is crucial.

This is why we have the imposition of oppressive practices such as the laws and traditions of 'blasphemy', 'sacrilege' and 'heresy.' 



Which are all meant to keep the faithful, and other humans, chained to the myopic perspective of a particular religion. 

And deny their followers the possibility, in some instances, even the probability of other and even better paths to more and other truths. 

To the realisation that, choosing to live in ignorance, by stamping the religious and intellectual restrictions of the past and the limitations of present, upon the objective and independent quest for knowledge, does not serve anybody. Neither humans nor the gods, in general.



And so it is, that the religious faithful among us, should feel empowered, where it does not place them in imminent danger of grievous harm.  

To question their clergy about their, and the clergy's doubts about their faith and about their god/s. 

In the light of the very obvious and numerous contradictions about what they are being told, being taught by their religions, and what they can see, hear and touch.
