Let me take you to the reality of the religion & god belief as we examine the merits of the arguments.
.
1.Each child is born non-religious. The child will acquire religious beliefs from their parents and will continue to practice these beliefs UNLESS under any circumstances that will make a child to switch beliefs.
.
2.Each THEISTIC religion has an endorsed god/s. These god/s maybe one, three or many. It depends on which religion are we talking about. There are too many god/s and goddesses.
.
3.Each individual who believe in an endorsed god in their religion will lead to disbelief in other gods that is endorsed by the other religion. In other words, an individual will not believe other gods except of their own god/s that they believe.
.
4.The reality and experience of each individual with god-belief are quite similar regardless of which religion they belong or which god/s they worship. For them their god is real but the other god/s is/are not.
.
5.According to the #3 and #4, the merits suggests that if the individual has a disbelief in other god/s and it will be reinforced by #4 which says that each individual will believe that their god/s is/are real and the other god/s is/are not. This leads to a confirmation bias, when a person fails to recognize any contrary evidence that contradicts their own god-belief.
.
6.A child will take anything their parents said as truth until they reached the age of reason. A child cannot think of itself, and it will take anything that a parent said as truth regardless of factual truth. This suggests that the confirmation bias will further be reinforced because of #1 since an individual were indoctrinated since they were a child.
.
7.The #1 and #6 suggests that a belief or false belief can spread through generations upon generations. This is what their ancestors believe in, so they will believe. And these beliefs are further reinforced by #5.
.
8.Contradictions of each beliefs will not take any further. People tried to find a common ground between religions BUT time will come where people will care about which beliefs are the truth and which beliefs are false. We cannot hold the tension much longer, we need to examine each beliefs.
.
Moreover, these are the statements that I find about why I’m so very critical about religion.
.
I find it difficult to choose which religion or beliefs should I bet my soul into. It is like gambling, when you are given many odds to choose which beliefs are truth. It is confusing and difficult. The safest place to be is NOT TO GAMBLE.
.
Do you bet your soul because your parents have bet in there too? Do you bet your soul because someone has told you that you’ll win a heaven?
.
Even when you gamble, you have a chance to win a jackpot. But the odds are a staggering millions, that you will waste your life gambling for the jackpot. It is not worth it. Even if it has a little chance still it is not worth it.
.
What if you chose to believe a wrong belief?

BE CRITICAL TOO
