Do Your Own Homework
We do it for everything else, but when it comes to religion, most
of us can't seem to grasp this particular concept.
It will be up to you to figure out whether or not you will continue
to believe in an invisible God who does invisible miracles and will
provide you with the possibility of eternal life.
If you fail to gather the information you need or do your own
homework, you will become the product of someone else's thinking.
This is the main reason why you will need to do your own research.
A follower is someone who lets another individual think for them and
ends up being manipulated by either the individual or the
organization that’s ultimately responsible for the information the
follower allows into their mind.
According to the Holy Bible, the planet Earth is less than 10,000
years old, yet scientists all over the world believe it to be more
than 1 billion years old.
For those who choose not to do their own homework and I've met
plenty, the world is less than 10,000 years old and was created by
an invisible God.
This is an excellent example of someone being controlled by others.
By the way, the information in this article should be used for other
things like your government, place of business and some of the
information you've been taught by your educators and parents.
My parents taught me to believe in Christianity, but when they
couldn't answer my questions, they started doubting it also.
I remember asking my father one time, where God came from. He paused
for a moment and then paused for another moment with that
inquisitive look he gave me regularly and said he didn't know.
Do you think anyone knows where God came from? I'm sure someone
does, but whether or not the information would be true could easily
be disputed.
We need tangible evidence to support anything we believe to be the
absolute truth and the origins of God seem to lack tangible
evidence, making most religious claims hard to accept by rational
minded individuals.
If something doesn't sound right, then it's your obligation to
figure out why. If the thought of an invisible God living in heaven
sounds a little suspicious, then now would be a good time to start
asking questions.
Then you will need to get skeptical and try to avoid accepting any
information that cannot rationally be validated. Don't get caught up
in someone else trying to force feed ignorance down your throat.
I remember asking a few questions to a religious follower one time
and he got all defensive and told me that I was going to burn in
hell if I didn't accept everything in the Bible as the truth.
Then I met another individual who based his entire life off of faith
and suggested that I do so also.
Then you have the know it all’s who really don't know anything, yet
for whatever reason need to pretend like they do, while providing
you with ridiculous answers.
I've spent years accumulating information and looking at everything
from different perspectives, trying to figure out whether or not one
particular religion or spiritual organization has it right, only to
end up disappointed.
I will continue to search for God, but have no need for information
that cannot be validated or anything that cannot be supported by
tangible evidence and you shouldn't either.
It's easy to validate the existence of something like a rock or a
building, but difficult to validate the existence of an invisible
entity like God. If you can't validate the existence of a particular
religions God, then that particular religion could be rationally
doubted also.
You can't just say something exists and expect everyone to believe
it.
