The different between science and religion is that the former is always willing to reconsider any of its theories , laws and rules .. Without stubbornly holding onto them .
For me at least the religious texts are in a way like fairy tales . The characters are imaginary , the story is fictitious and at the end of it , it teaches us morality and principles . But when we start talking things way too seriously and as a matter of fact , way too literally , we tend to defeat the purpose of it all . It's like searching for the shoe that Cinderella lost or looking for the mirror which the queen used in Snow White .
Apparently , after centuries , religion is serious business . You can't express your opinion without hurting a pocketful of over sensitive peeps . People think that their religion is the "best " and all other should perish . Religion surely wasn't created to cater to your ego ? Surely the purpose was not to create a divide between people following a different religion ?
All religions are connected to the identical ultimate reality and lead people towards a common goal . This is true even though the various religions make exclusive claims about themselves , sometimes asserting the " uniqueness " and " incomparability" of their god or " ultimate principle " .
Only egos , beliefs and faiths separate us . The basis of any religion is that you must believe something someone else tells you is true , even though your mind tells you it is a lie and it makes no sense . There is name for that " fideism " . Without fideism , the concept of religion would not exist .. Now start thinking !!!!
