Life affects our religious behavior
Now we have said in
our last post that the will to survive is one of the main driving forces that
makes us believe whatever we believe, but there are also those things that life
throws at us that will affect our religious beliefs and behaviour; therefore not withstanding this need of
religions as we have said before, and also to fulfil the will to survive
forever and other things, man has also his own mind and sometimes he believes
in himself too much for his own good:
So during our lives
on earth, our religious beliefs seem to go up and down according to our
feelings and needs: Here for clarity sake allow me to go back to talk as if we
are talking about a single person, therefore this single person while he is a
child he is keen to believe and practice religion, just the way that his parents
have taught him, because religion gives him a sense of protection from dangers
and evil, just like his parents have taught him that God can protect you if you
believe in God, and pray to God when you need help; and it is for these reasons
that he would pray to be protected from God if he feels he is in danger; of
course there is also a sense of fulfilment since he has done the right things
according to his religious beliefs.
But as he becomes older and becomes strong
and sure of himself, then he may think that all this fuss about religion and
protection and fulfilment is becoming useless to him, because he may have the
false notion that he is indestructible just like most young people do, and
therefore he believes that he doesn’t need any supernatural power to help him,
this behaviour is particularly so in the young males in the presence of other
male persons, where they seem to show off their physical and mental strength;
therefore even if there are a few men who believe in God, they will not willing
be showing it to their peers for fear of being ridiculous, even though they
know that deep down in their hearts they believe in God, and they know that
believing would be the only way to salvation for them, and that salvation is the
only way to fulfil their desire to survive forever. You see, nobody could ever
feel good for being dead forever, so we want to find a way to salvation no
matter how hard it is.
Therefore, when a man becomes old he still
wants to survive forever, even though he knows that all of us must die one day,
so the only thing left for him to do is to believe that his soul will survive,
in the afterlife of course. And therefore, he goes back to his religious
beliefs of when he was rather young, so, he goes back to what his parents have
taught him and together with his acquired life knowledge and wisdom he tries to
find a way out to eternal salvation.
Now as you can see, because of this inborn
will to survive forever mankind cannot escape religion, because religion is the
only link which promises us a possible way to salvation, and so, we hope at
least that we may find the way to salvation and save at least our soul; I
believe that this is the main reason that we need to continue religions as they
are, we also need to use our own religion to help us, so we have to use what we
believe is the right thing to do.
Now, for me I believe that I should explain
religions, since we are talking about religions and I am writing about
religions.
But before I continue to write any other religious
issues, let me say my prayer to God Most High, master of the universe and life
giver to every living thing, so that I can feel more comfortable writing them,
because I believe that God would help me.
Prayer
In the name of The Father, The-Son and The
Holy Spirit; Almighty Father, I pray you with all my heart, my soul and my mind
earnestly, hoping that in your mercy you would forgive me all my life sins and
make me clean of any impurities that may affect my soul, so that I would be
worthy and able to write these religious writing that I am writing here as
humanly as possible according to your will. Father, hear my prayer and help me!
Now that I have prayed God Most High, I
feel more confident to write the following religious writings, so let me try to
explain, what religion is for me and perhaps for most of us, in our next post,
Our religious beliefs. See you there.
