Challenge Your Belief System and Experience Personal Growth

Many religions and faiths have been followed blindly by lemming-like mobs all over the world for many centuries. Ever since man feared fire or thunder and lightning, or anything else he could not explain scientifically, he has invented some invisible being to credit or blame for it, depending on the current situation. A belief system is just that, a system not based on facts or scientific evidence but on something someone believes, in other words, something someone has faith in.

Faith is a tricky word and the conclusion to any discussion between atheists and religious fanatics is “you have to have faith”. There is no way to argue something if some invisible and silent super being has already decided the argument centuries ago by purportedly writing it down in a book, or “bible”. It does not matter how logical and scientifically sound your argument is, if there is a contrary opinion given in the Bible then you lose, period, or so religious zealots would have you believe.

For all of the good that the faith based belief system has provided with charitable
works over the years, more atrocities have been committed by far. Millions have died
and continue to die all over the world because one belief system does not believe in
another belief system. Even when one belief system is almost identical to another
belief system, the proponents of each will fight to the death defending their
point of view. It does not matter that the Bible says “Thou shalt not kill” or
that most major religions in their doctrinal material decry the use of violence.
Violence is still instigated by the leaders of these fanatical mobs and is used in
Darfour, for instance, to wipe out a whole race of people.

For the world to truly experience peace we must either eliminate all organized
religions (which will never happen) or people of different religions will have
to learn to co-exist with those whose belief system is different from theirs.
Why this is so very difficult and almost impossible to attain may be the core
problem of mankind as we progress into the 21st century and beyond. Tolerance
must be taught early on and differences should be celebrated instead of reviled.
Old grudges and ancient taboos have to be thrown out in favor of a new system of open-mindedness.
