“Life without liberty, is a life not lived, and life without truth, is a life not understood.” “There’s a difference between an open mind and an empty head.” ― Abhijit Naskar.
Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs.
“Being holistic doesn’t mean mumbling mystical mumbo-jumbo all the time, it means seeing the reality as it is, without giving in to either supernatural nonsense or intellectual arrogance.” ― Abhijit Naskar
I absolutely despise the hypocrisy in religion. I was raised Catholic then Methodist and I was always taught “Judge not lest ye be judged”, “Love thy neighbor as thyself”, and “Do unto others as they would have done unto you.” So, what exactly have I witnessed in Christianity? None of it!
You can’t just call yourself a “Good Christian” and then discriminate against different groups of people. If there was really a God, why are very good people dying of terrible diseases like cancer? Why are so many people across the globe living in poverty? Why is there always fighting? Why is there no world peace?
It’s not okay to go up to someone and say “If you don’t accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you are going to Hell.” Everyone is entitled to have their own beliefs and people need to respect that. Also, there are over 4000 different religions throughout the world, so how can anyone assume that their religion is right and everyone else is wrong?
They’re incompatible, because they both compete to find truths about the universe and life itself. There are some fundamental truths that believers have to accept in order to be religious. Scientists do not have to accept anything in order to be researchers, just observe, follow the scientific method and provethe fact.Religion is based on believes, not facts.
It’s our responsibility as conscientious human beings with a heathy brain to question everything. This is how we inform ourselves, grow, evolve, and get smarter everyday.
Many people are so gullible that tend to believe everything that is fed to them through MSM, social media, politics, religion, etc. And they follow like sheep. One of the main problems I have noticed is the mental fanaticism and radicalism in people.
It is my opinion that no matter if someone believes with fanaticism in any god or behaves like an atheist zealot, then that person tend to absorbe the wrong information, create false thoughts, and make wrong decisions.
There are many religions that oppress, spread fear or hope (heaven or hell for example), to control and stop you from questioning their beliefs, and make you follow. Atheists extremists can be a pain in the buttocks too. They think that they are always right because they support their lack of belief on science (evolution).
So you see, having an open mind and being more of a centrist, a free thinker, is always a more conscientious way to live without causing damage to yourself or others.
I cannot understand for the life of me, how is it that a «man» like this one made hundreds of millions of dollars pretending that he was a «god-man», a spiritualist, a freedom maker of the people, blah, blah, blah.
OSHO, also known as Rajneeshpuram, as Acharya Rajneesh, as Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh, is dead now, but he evaded jail in the US back in 1985, went back to India and died in 1990 al the age of 58. He was using an enormity amount of milligrams of Valium a day, and he was enraged because his personal secretary, Sheela, robbed him of 55 million dollars. Anyways, you can find more about him hereherehere.
What I cannot understand is how in the world people still follow his «teachings» in Facebook and other media outlets, and share his ridiculous quotes. Why people, why? Do not make idiots famous and richer and greedier. That is why there are many politicians and religious fanatics around the world who manage to rob people not only of their money, but their dignity, their freedom, and in some cases, even their lives, like in the Guyana case.
There are a lot of con artists in the world, there always have been, but now the conning spreads faster because of the digital world social media. People want to make a quick buck or simply fool you just because. Do me a favor: do your own diligence and investigate, do your own research, not once nor twice, but three or four times until you find a credible source.
In this gorgeous Saturday night, peaceful, with the sky so clear that I can see Jupiter and Saturn without binoculars, waiting for the Great Conjunction to happen on December 21th, 2020, this thought came to my mind: I cannot believe for the life of me that there are still apologetics for Creationism and Religion fanatics in this world of ours.
It is just logical. Using a little bit of math, simple mathematics. Nothing extreme, no rocket science involved:
Free-thinkers are confident, logical and intelligent, compassionate and loving too. Intelligent Thinking: You overcome thinking errors and become the best version of yourself.
I love Carl Sagan scientific life. He was a scientist who, despite his passing on December 20, 1996 keeps on educating us with his intellectual abilities and philosophical analysis on life.
Books, articles, journals signed by several Nobel Prize winners, conferences about science, astrophysics, astronomy, philosophy and more.
Carl Sagan was a passionate advocate of scientific and critical thinking.
«The major religions on the Earth contradict each other left and right. You can’t all be correct. And what if all of you are wrong? It’s a possibility, you know. You must care about the truth, right? Well, the way to winnow through all the differing contentions is to be skeptical. I’m not any more skeptical about your religious beliefs than I am about every new scientific idea I hear about. But in my line of work, they’re called hypotheses, not inspiration and not revelation.» —— Carl Sagan
<br>Wer ist der wahre eigentümer/schöpfer des herzens ? Gott gibt nur das Herz, du füllst es. Achtung. Was füllst du? Denn dann musst du es leeren. beschmutze nicht dein herz.
