Has Religions Done More Harm Than Good?

The intentions are good in most religions. Religions teach many good morals to people on how to treat the rest of humanity. Religions teach spirituality to uplift people’s well being. Religions teach many practical life lessons to live life successfully and fulfill one’s passions. Some religions have teachings to keep people accountable for their own actions so that they do good unto one another rather than harm.

Many religions have a very holistic teachings to inspire us to live our lives with joy and in peace. With so many religions, most with great intentions for humanity, the world should be a better place would’t it? Well yes, we can conclude that some of our civilizations are better off today than how it was in the primitive past.

But do religions really do good than harm?

I ask this question in consideration of a few historical events such as the Crusades, the burning and drowning of witches in Salem Massachusetts, and today Arabs and Jews continue to kill each other, catholics and protestants murder each other, Hindus and Muslims assassinate and massacre each other in India and Pakistan, and Christians and Muslims continue to go at it as well.

Facts have shown that Continue reading “Has Religions Done More Harm Than Good?”

Respect With An Open Mind

This will probably be one of my most controversial website/blog I will ever publish.

I decided to write this blog to voice my opinion and perspectives of the subject(s) related to religion.

Why do I feel so inclined to write about religion? What makes me an authority on religion? Well, I’m not an authority. Again, this is just my opinion. The goal is to provide the world with my perspective and add to the collective knowledge so that we all can learn from one another as one.

Paganism

My first post!

What is paganism?

It is just another religion derived from another religion, that derived from another, that was taught by another, that was left to us by something greater than us.

I’m not an atheist. I’m not a devil worshipper. I’m not a pastor nor a preacher.

I believe in what religions teach. I practice to my best ability to follow the moral teachings of religions. I pray. I am grateful for everything that has been provided for me. I try to do what I am intended to do or what I am good at or passionate about. Some say it is God’s purpose for me.

But I don’t believe in the illusion that we have created on religions. That illusion is not even about what is taught in religions, but what we think differs our so called religions. The differences we think we have from one another is all just an illusion.

There is no such thing as religions as we know them to be.
