'Ignorance and faith fit each other like hand and glove'

 
  home page

 

Here I will discuss in depth the most complex and unbelievable invention of the human mind, which rests on elements like  'inferior' humans,  'Supreme Beings', 'Word',  'Revelation', superior powers, 'initiates', messengers, churches, mosques, synagogues etc. As far as the belief systems are concerned there shouldn't be 'given facts'. One should always be ready to discuss everything. All the pages under the titles from Totem and Taboo to the last of the Semitic-Abrahamic systems , Islam will try to explain the relevant matters under a specific title to the best of my abilities. I will try  to look into the sources of the current religious doctrines and  highlight their weakest points. Following the last sentence of the section on Islam we will feel the illuminating power  of reason within our heads.

I don't intend to reject faith in general and the 'belief systems' in particular. On the contrary, I will look into all the major 'belief systems' effecting our attitudes, our mental approach, points of view and decisions. I will to the best of my ability, try to find the answer to 'who got it from whom?' I will dig out the past connections and establish the line of descent of the present day doctrines of the belief systems. This will result in shaking and waking you up to the truth. Which will show you that the only truth lies within the intellect and  the only 'true illumination' will be realized by the awakening of your reason.

Ignorance and faith fit each other like hand and glove, so;

Any faith  in its simple form is pure. Faith should be between the believer and the central character of that 'belief'.  But when a human clockwork mechanism is built around the faith for a variety of reasons, a different body enters the stage. This body operates efficiently, relentlessly and ruthlessly.  It is called  the  belief system, which occupies the minds, influences the way we act , and almost dictates the  lives of each and everyone of us. It creates debate at best, and  misunderstanding and conflict at worst. It costs lives. Of whom? Of its creators and servants.  Why do you think they give and take lives? For supremacy and immortality  of course!

Supremacy serves the inherent  instincts of the  animal inside us. Bending and breaking someone caters for the eternal hunger for personal power and feed the flames of being superior to someone; Superior like the unspeakable(!).

I will never fall into the trap of using the terminology or the particular jargon of the belief systems.  Because precisely that jargon was instrumental in the creation, development and preservation of the belief systems. Those systems have an unintelligible, incomprehensible, specially created and focused terminology. So I will employ the words, phrases and terms used by average everyday. I will resort to that jargon only when there is no other choice.

You will come face to face with frequent questions because questions are the triggers of thought processes. As soon as you begin asking questions you will feel the change within yourself. The only never changing reality is the change  itself.  If change is the only absolute reality and universe is in constant change  how can you afford to stay put? How can you challenge the universe which brought you into existence, the universe which in fact is you on a majestic scale?
