Realities
about Religions
Every human being has a natural need
for believing in something or someone. That need, however, makes human beings
vulnerable towards religions. People pursue things that they understand
they lack. Such as: happiness, inner peace, prosperity, security and so
on... Religions promote things people need therefore people feel that touched.
For example, if there is a person who is suffering a lot and that person
happens to hear about a religion that says "Stop Suffering” then, it is
obvious that the person will feel anxious to attend to that congregation. That
is one of the knack! But, people end up feeling the same or even worse because
there are a lot of religion leaders who scam people. They pressure people to do
what they want with such astuteness that their members feel guilty if they do
not it.
Most of the time people tend to believe in or follow
a religion due to culture or tradition. They do not take into consideration
righteousness nor equality. There are religions that establish rules and dogmas
which are very unrighteous and also against equality and sanity. Some religions
dogmas devalue women and that is not correct. There are a lot of people who
follow a religion they do not have a reason for. They just do it because of
tradition even though, they do not sense believing in that. But, what do people
have a critical mind for? Human beings have the capacity to discern between
good and evil. This is to say that religions most of the time stunt people's
capacity. There are things that are wrong and people do it because their
religion permits them to do that, on the other hand, there are things that
people should do but they do not do it because their religion does not tell
them to do that. There is a religion that people worship their god by smoking,
but everybody knows that smoking is a bad and disgusting habit which harms
health.
Many religion leaders take advantage of people's faith. They use
God's name whereby they touch people's hearts to make them be their victims.
When Jesus was on earth, he never took advantage of people. He never used his
leadership to scam people. He preached a Gospel based on Love, Justice,
righteousness and equality. His doctrine was not based on tradition but on
God's Will; sans malice. Everyone was amazed by his doctrine and actions.
He taught with his example and impeccable way of living how to be a Christian.
People usually choose a religion to have an excuse of doing what they want. But
they actually deceive themselves because a person is not saved through his
religion but the way he lives. For everyone shall be judged by his actions not by his
religion. This is why everybody has to consult the bible in order to know how
to obey God.
As a conclusion, God does exist and therefore
He is the only way to find salvation. If everybody sought Him, then everyone
would be saved. Religions does not the trick but seeking God! Religions most of
the time are about people's opinion, on the contrary, the Holy Bible is about
God's opinion. God is the King of kings and The Lord of lords, so we cannot
expect that he will get used to us but we have to get used to him in order to
fit in with heaven. In my humble opinion, I think that we have to focus on God
and His Word, not letting our criteria and opinions interfere but allowing God
to guide us and teach us his perfect will and everything will be alright for no
one knows more about Salvation than the Savior (Jesus Christ).
