Imagine the Brain as a Temple, and the Guide of Reason its sentry. Reason stands at the door judging every thought according to thy instructions, making sure they are sensible and reasonable.

So a man walks up to you and says give me your money, Reason is the reason you ask 'why should I do that'

But then, along comes a thought doused in faith, it smells good, looks good, makes you feel good..

'Oh young man, you will be great, you will live long, you shall be blessed from high'...

Reason sleeps as you, The Priest, listens. As she gets drowsy, the voice of Faith get louder.

'Ignore what Reason tells you, it has no good plans for you. See me, don't I make you feel good? You may have nothing, but you have something now.. If you just Believe....'

Belief crawls from the heart of the Priest, at first in little drops, then growing bigger.. bigger.. bigger...

and the Priest grows smaller, smaller, smaller,

and thus another Temple of Reason is lost to the hands of Faith.


Will you let reason awaken? Will shake your mind off the blanket of Faith, and wake up the magnificience of reality?
Will you?

Keep working out your brain. Your religion doesn't need it anyways.

Fool, I am the maker of religion and determine what I shall religionize.

There is no religion without me but there will always be me without religion.

And you too have a religion and under religion. the religion of hating God.

Bro, you are quite funny.
Quite obvious what is misinforming your decision.

It's obvious you never knew faith beyond trade by barter. When you see faith against sound judgement, you are yet in the nursery of times.


In your OP, I understand you, but the truth is, many are exposed to this same issues you have because of their desires or wrong exposure and resulted to blaming God or reasoning when disappointed.

Faith isn't trade by barter. It's not nairabet or betnaija. You have portrait it as such because of wrong information you are exposed to.

But we have known, that it takes a man who desire to trade to appear in the village market square.

. Your OP only describe a man who seeks his own but not God hence whatever befall him must not be blamed on Faith but selfishness.

Faith is seen in Christ whenever you read the scriptures. Any thing outside this, is selfishness.

One man's faith is another man's blasphemy. Do not judge me by the standards to which you have been exposed. I'm not here to trade in the village market square... I'm here to highlight the scams the traders are selling.

Why are you always fast to claim you are being judge when you are actually the one who hold the judgment balance.

I am not here to judge you. But to examine your words. I will love of you are well convenient with scrutiny. Your words and post must be examined to understand your stand and The right stand.

So, can I know which of the faith do you proclaim and what blasphemy reside with those who don't proclaim your faith.

I have no faith, so that statement doesn't apply to me. There's no blasphemy for me... Maybe apart from hurting others.

See yarns!

However, being a young person from about 12 Years old, you are Always Going to be Judged Everywhere by Reasonable Natural Living Standards (The Objective Test and Standard) for from that age, you are presumed to have been exposed to the happenings in your environmental and that you are aware of them.

"I don't know," is not going to be a good defence for every one after 12 years is seen and deemed "to know"!

And Nairaland is not for 10 year olds, which you are not, so you know what is Truly going on around your surroundings and you can make Truthful comments about them, whether you are know them all or not.

HappyPagan:


I have no faith, so that statement doesn't apply to me. There's no blasphemy for me... Maybe apart from hurting others.

The Bolded therefore is your faith and religion!

And obviously you did not know until now that "blasphemy" is the business of hurting others.

I hope your faith and religion were not similarly imposed..

Blasphemy hurts God. Then the humans cry.

At least, it is settled that you wilfully intend to "Hurt Another"!. The Law will Take its Course!

Did Anyone impose on you to "hurt another"?

HappyPagan:

Okay. So why do you hurt others.
What do you think about that.

hupernikao:


Okay. So why do you hurt others.

Who do I hurt? I said the only thing I'd consider a blasphemy is hurting others... You sound confused.

HappyPagan:

Yes I guess I am confused.

Can you help me find the way.
What way do you follow, what ideology do you hold.
