We often like to think of ourselves to live in truth and honesty. No
one likes to live in falsehood. But reality seems to escape from our hands each
time we fist our palms to catch hold of reality. That is because we do not live
an objective reality. We are prominently dependent on our subjective realities.
We choose our realities and life philosophies, which fits the pattern of our
convenience. Convenient truth is not the rational one, because a rational truth
is supposed to be unbiased and highly objective.
There is no big an example as religion when it comes to subjective
philosophy.
Religion has dominated over humanity for about as long as we can
remember humanity to exist, in one form or another. Roots of its philosophy is
more than a mystery to all, regardless of its acceptance or trial of
invalidation through rationalization of its creation, no one can truly
objectively explain the beginning of this philosophy based on any credible
facts; nor can anyone prove the validity of any religion with concrete
admissible evidences. Yet almost all of humanity still chooses to accept which
none knows about from its very commencement to its admirable teachings to what
we come to understand of it as off today.
Religion is undoubtedly the most misunderstood and ill understood part
of human reality; because it is religion that has killed millions and it is
religions that has build civilizations, morals, ethics, behavior, culture,
tradition and much more. It is almost incomprehensible to our minds how far has
it got us and how much it has stopped us.
This does not mean religion is fake nor do I claim its authenticity and
validity. The problem is, religion has been altered a numerous times by our
political and religious authorities to claim fraudulent propositions as
ultimate reality which is finely tuned in their convenience. But when
investigated and researched most people are shocked to find the abundance of
sacred knowledge and messages administered in religious teachings both directly
and indirectly (in metaphorical manners). This is why all religions is built on
the foundations of stories and legends which give you both direct messages and
metaphorical indirect messages, for which we need real legitimate thinkers/teachers
to convey the metaphorical messages similar to how scientists would study the
complex sciences and convey the scientific laws and knowledge in a very simple
and direct form.
The reason why all religions are highly flawed and questionable today
is the same reason to why all our systems today are going towards its
perishable moment and self-destruction; it’s the clash of subjective verses
objective choices. Even many scientists and doctors today are giving fraudulent
information and analysis to make a quick buck, and slowly altering the origin
and basis of science itself by the spread of these false sciences. Religion has
been around for more than we can comprehend, and it has been going through this
very cycle of fraud and falsification and alteration over a great period of
time that has resulted it to be as it is today.
Religion is no more than a philosophy when not understood, and it is no
less than any science when studied, it is a collaboration of both the
subjective and the objective, which is what makes it so confusing yet
fascinating and above all, relevant.
