Questioning Beliefs
#4
RE: Questioning Beliefs
Have you questioned your beliefs? yes
Do you continue to question them? yes
Can you admit that you don't know? yes
Or has your God threatened you if you do? no
Science doesn't have all of the answers and no one claims that it does. Correct
When proven wrong, it at least can be changed and improved. As can religion
To me, one of the worst things about Christianity is that you aren't supposed to question or disbelieve it. I wasn't in fact encouraged to question, challenge and believe as I saw fit
It rewards ignorance. Not how I was taught but society and secular law does indeed regularly reward ignorance
It controls people. No people control people, a Rock doesn't control anything unless it's used to bash in someone's head, but media, buisness and governements definately try and control people
It's taught as the one and only truth. Only by those who worship out of fear, which I wasn't.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
