How can you find your self?

My statement to religious people; Your “I” is so important to you that you use so much energy and resources to secure it. Did you research and confirm that you are properly serving your “I”? Or did you accept something with “blind faith”? If you answer the latter, why are you neglecting yourself? If there is a G-d who programmed you he either gave you the tools to find yourself or doesn’t want you to know what you are. If G-d wants you to have blind faith then why would he care which religion you choose? A religion which demands blind faith and condemns those who choose another blind faith is hypocritical. I reject all such religions since it goes against the very cure of my “I” in this current reality. Such religions say that the “I” was placed into a reality where it can’t find itself. If that is true I should commit suicide to enter a reality where I could better understand myself.
If you want to remain in this world and be comfortable with you “I”, you must believe that it can be protected based on logical understanding.

My statement to atheists; you may not know G-d but you know your “I”. You know it is beyond anything science understands. You know it will continue. Don’t give up on understanding true reality because some preachers make no sense. The preacher’s mistake is they have “blind faith” which leads them to believing things that are completely illogical. Be better and find the real truth instead of giving up and saying there is none.

Are you trapped in a religion?

Does your family follow a certain religion? Do most of your friends follow a certain religion? Do your religious leaders reject people who question? If you were to consider another religion, do you fear you will lose your community life? Do you refuse to ruin your communal life without a good reason?

If your country were to commit the ultimate evil, would you risk your status to prevent such acts? Do you think that fulfilling your purpose for creation is worth the risk? Or, do you prefer to remain in your comfort zone rather than doing what is right? Or, did you give up on anything being true? If you gave up, why are you reading this?

Why can’t you do the research secretly? Do you have to give up anything to think? If there is a G-d, perhaps he made the web to help you find him. If you were made for a reason, don’t you think it is worth the effort? If the creator ever asks can you say you tried?

Thank you "The Guitar Man" for your comment which lead to this post

Is it righteous to continue the belief of your ancestors?

Is the super natural too complicated? Perhaps it is good to follow the path of your ancestors? If the spiritual complain, you could say, that’s where you put me. On the other hand, if your ancestors say that someone else’s ancestors are wrong, maybe they are wrong?

Could the spiritual expect you to look? Did it give you the tools to find it? Did you try to use the tools you were given? If you read this blog you obviously have. I’m not sure if your ancestors were wrong, but did you attempt to authenticate what they said?

So far we discussed these motives for following religion. Do you know of any more? Do any reasons apply to you?

1) Like answers
2) Imagination
3) Continue earlier belief

Does a religion answer your questions?

I have a long list of motives for religion, I intend to discuss them one post at a time. Due to a brilliant comment on my last post, let’s begin with discussing the comment. Anonymous said... “religions can provide answers for things/phenomenons which people can't explain themselves. Not having an explanation is very unsatisfying for many so they turn to groups/individuals which provide explanations. The more convincing the explanations are the more people will follow”

How many people do you know would consider changing their religion if a different one had better answers? I find that such people are rare. People who would, I consider soul searchers. The others I will discuss in another post G-d willing.

Are people’s questions very different from each other?
If yes; why do answers to your questions determine the true religion?
If not; why are there so many religions?

If after accepting the most convincing explanation, people don’t know the answer, how can a one judge which one is better? Can people disprove the conflicting answers? Are people choosing whatever feels better? Maybe reality is not on your side? Why go to a religion, make it up yourself? Does it feel better to have someone else make it up for you?

What is stopping someone from creating an outrageous religion and offering exciting answers? Don’t you think this is how other religions started? Why is yours different?
