>>18062096Too many people conflate faith with religion. Like any other meaningful thing in life faith rests on a set of axioms, its two most important axioms state:
>Humans lie.>Humans are fallible.You have been taught innumerable falsehoods throughout your life and you've gone on to regurgitate them with unwavering confidence. You didn't mean to lie, but you did. Intent doesn't matter, how you handle your agency does.
See, truth is not subjective but its approximations are subject to perspective - to embrace your agency is to attempt to improve the approximation, to reject or even outsource your agency is to lie. Lies compound indefinitely and exponentially, lies destroy even everlasting relationships within fractions of seconds.
Everyone starts with a blank page, unfortunately far from everyone writes more than a single sentence themselves, and of those that do most only ever write the very last sentence themselves, on their deathbed. Few if any ever write in celebration and as gesture of gratitude for all the gifts and opportunities bestowed upon them.
This is not to say that religions are bad by default, matter of fact most of them are conceived with good intentions, but the older the become, the more twisted they become.
If you cherished your agency you'd ponder the nature language and the time that has passed, the number of errors in translation and the number of times your 'scripture' has been 'curated' and 'editorialized' - you'd acknowledge human malice and fallibility.
