@Indrid-Cold the so-called believers doesn't even mean what they've just said and believe,well most of them are to be exact but claimed they're religion and belief is the only way of living at the same time which actually supress the feelings of hatred toward other's beliefs and action despite of considering for what they've just did to the others by punishing the sinners,infidels and non-believers and call it self-justice and self-righteous for the world's interest according to their own rule through their belief system of standard.
Great essay. If it was written especially for us TWS daftlads? That would be the coolest thing in the world.
It's a very alluring idea, isn't it, that elements of all the really contemplative religions could be smushed together into progressive whole. I like that idea. Christianity (it seems to me) is definitely the most intellectual religion, and Buddhism can go suck it, but what it all means is anyone's guess. I used to dote on 'The Perennial Philosophy' by Aldous Huxley, and, yes, Teilhard DeChardin is The Man (I like that his books are as much scientific textbooks as religious treatese). But really? As I've got older, the most obvious statement that can be made about the religious world is that we're in some kind of claustrophobic, gnostic, worst-case-scenario, and you can be as intellectual or as stupid as you like, and everything will be the same. :disappointed_but_relieved_face:
@Sij religious people tends to describe the ex-religious people that are leaving their faith just because of depressions and stuff which are not exactly true because there are also many factors and reasons people leave their faith that such as, since there are so many beliefs claim to be the only truth and others are wrong, that can only lead to one truth that is no beliefs is true hence, people who used to be religious leave their faith because of these reasons. Heck, there are even people who are even more evangelically more religious than others who leave their own faith with very similar reasons.
