It is Your Belief and What You Do with it That Matters

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS
belief dra martha castro tijuana baja california usa

As a scientist I have always been inclined to ask questions, to have a profound curiosity about life and for everything that I don’t know. I want to explore everything that seems unreachable.

I wonder, oh I love to wonder about things: humans, nature, relations, the cosmos, life and death. Many times I don’t find any answer, and in the way I get punished by people who think they know it all: religious and atheists alike.

But I don’t care. I don’t care because for me the most important thing is to always try to find out what really matters.

I have learned that at the end of it all it is our belief what takes us to a better place, every second of our lives. I believe in goodness, I believe in loving forever. Because there is forever. I want to believe.

I believe in the continuation of 1: our consciousness and 2: the energy that the cellular machine called mitochondria creates every millisecond of our existence. My beliefs don’t follow any religion, but I believe in compassion and absolute respect for other people’s lives.

«If you believe in yourself, everything is possible. Live the life of your dreams. Let it be!

Education of the Mind Trumps Religion

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

People who are reluctant to educate themselves, tend to just follow orders and obey without questioning. Sad thing to see, the «robotic» human mind that is a reality in our world.

Now, you might think that I’m referring to university studies, PhD’s, MD’s…etc. No no, unfortunately getting a high degree diploma doesn’t guarantee that the student will become a thinker. An independent thinker.

I know of many medical doctors who are profoundly religious, some of them are evangelical, singing in tongues, even practicing exorcisms and all that «crapola» . And yes, they are real medical doctors, seriously! To me, this is a crime against the mind.

Educating ourselves involves reading many topics, have intense curiosity for science, philosophy, gardening, farming, cooking, literature, history, the arts, agriculture…learning about  life for god sake!

Religion God Science Fear or Hope?

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

First Do Not Harm

religion dra martha castro tijuana mexico california americas

When we are born our parents or caretakers try to teach us what they were taught by their parents.

Most of us were told that there is a God in heaven and that if we are good girls or boys we will go there one day. Later (if our parents were kind enough not to scare us with the existence of hell at a very young age), when we grow up a little they tell us that there is a place with flames and very hot where people who misbehave go when they die.

Do They Exist?

religion dra martha castro tijuana mexico california americas

I think this idea of heaven and hell is taught in one way or another pretty much by all religions. Fear and hope.

I grew up believing in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Yes, Catholic, in Mexico. I even went 12 years to a Catholic school, full of beautiful, funny and sometimes angry nuns if anyone of us dared to upset them! But, seriously, I had a great time there. I remember my life being very happy at primary and secondary school with the nuns.

Remembering The Nuns with Love

Then, when I went to medical school my brain started to ask many questions to science. I learned, My curiosity grew. I studied more and my questions expanded in number and complexity. Decades have gone by and I still have thousands of questions. I have found the logical answer for many of them, and yet, many still without an answer.

But it’s okay. Curiosity has made me learned so much about the brain and many other areas of science, that the more I learn the more doubts I have. It’s a beautiful curiosity vicious cycle!

…And I Am The Goddess? …. j/k 😇

Yes, I do not believe anymore in what my wonderful nuns from my childhood and my parents taught me about their religious God. I am one hundred percent irreligious. But I don’t pretend to know the whole truth. Even science makes mistakes.

Blogging About Religion and the Lack Thereof

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS
religion dra martha castro tijuana mexico california americas

Do you blog about your religion beliefs or your lack of beliefs? Are you concerned that if you do you might lose followers or fans because of your sincere opinion about it?

I know several bloggers who have told me that they prefer to stick to a comfortable niche; food, travel, designing, literature, etc. And when a blogger makes a post about theism, atheism, agnosticism, etc., they prefer to stay away from that topic and not to give it a like and, of course, not to comment.

religion dra martha castro tijuana mexico california americas

As all you know, I like to blog about things I love in my life: food (I LOVE food), travel, cats, nature, science, cycling and lifestyle in general. And yes, I try to keep my opinions about religion or the lack thereof to myself, because some people take things too seriously and sometimes they tend to be aggressive if they don’t agree with what they read.

religion dra martha castro tijuana mexico california americas

Personally, I get along with people of all beliefs and non-believers as well. As long as they respect me as much as I respect them, I don’t have a problem at all. I honestly think that we all can get along if we conduct ourselves with appreciation and consideration. I don’t have to convince anybody about what I do or don’t believe, but I think we all should have the right to express freely our thoughts and opinions without fear of any kind.

religion dra martha castro tijuana mexico california americas

My blogging is mainly about my lifestyle in general. But I have come to a point in my blog where I need to express my thoughts about religion freely. Of course, with respect and hoping everyone will agree that it is perfectly okay to disagree once in a while and still be friends.

So, what do you think? Should I start blogging about this very interesting topic?

People Born on February 9, Famous and Interesting – Have fun!

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

PEOPLE BORN ON THIS DAY:

 

Wilhelm Maybach, 1846 (Auto Pioneer)

people born on this day feb 9

 

Among interesting people born on this day, I have to mention:

German engineer and engine designer, who invented the spray carburettor and was the chief designer of the first Mercedes automobiles (1900-01).

 

At age 26, he began designing cars with Gottlieb Daimler and Nikolaus Otto, with whom he developed the four-stroke engine cycle.

In April 1882, Maybach joined Gottlieb Daimler in a partnership to produce a light-weight, high-speed petrol engine suitable for vehicles.

Maybach invented the float-feed carburettor (1893) in which fuel was vaporized by passing it through a jet as a fine spray and mixed with air to produce a combustible mixture for the engine.

Maybach designed the first Mercedes car for Daimler in 1901, but retired in 1907 to design and manufacture engines for Zeppelin airships. His son, Karl Maybach, followed him in producing luxury automobiles.

IMPORTANT NOTE from Dr. Castro:

Please don’t assume that I am a Democrat or Republican just because I write or mention my admiration about certain people who are registered as such. I am neither. I hold no rigid political affiliation.

I admire the human being, no matter his/her political affiliation, religion or lack thereof.

I am a true freedom thinker who do not like labels. I don’t follow hypocrites. I admire what I think it’s admirable to me, and criticise what I sincerely think has to be denounced as a bad policy, error or a crime.
