hopefulLandlord: Thats deep. Nice one. The ambiguity of the bible leaves room for these disparities and misinterpretations. Yet that's just Christianity, we haven't even delved into other religions. I mean even the Bible says God practically endorses Judaism. What amazes me is how everyone twists the narative to suit their interest. Even the direct communication and interactions between God and the Jews as vividly described in the Bible, viz speaking with a loud thunderous voice, or cloud of smoke, sending down manna, splitting the sea, etc are suddenly no longer the way God operates, how convenient. Dont even get me started on Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism or the millions of religions that exist and their claim to divinity. Lets not deceive ourselves, religion is a scam. But it's a scam the people believe they need lest their lives becomes meaningless and without purpose. Opium for the masses indeed. There are natural laws, secrets carefully observed from nature of how the world works. These laws were indoctrinated into these religions and rechristened such as tithe, holy spirit, fasting and prayer, faith, zakat, etc. This is why you find that each religion actually works. They follow natural laws and principles. OP says his sister in law stopped fellowship in church altogether, yet she "believes" as long as she prays and reads the Bible, she's a christian. Don't be shocked that her prayers are answered faster than those who never take a day off from church. Cos at the end of the day it's all about her faith, how strong is it? That said, the beauty of religion is in recognizing its purpose and not letting it consume you. Man created religion, not the other way around. |
