I just had someone preach to me about their religion for a good hour. And that got me thinking.
Are there a lot of people out there that treat their respective religions like some type of pyramid scheme. Do they think that they're more likely to get to their heaven by converting as many people as possible?
Not trying to be rude or anything but they really wanted to convert me lol.
Oh, yes! Plenty of those. 🏃♀️
Probably some. Probably also people who feel, “this helped me so much and can save the world and I want to share it with everyone” — that’s a natural human phenomenon, and exists outside of religion too, of course. (Ahem, Bitcoin, lol)
Religion comes in handy when there are no obvious answers .. (when there are it becomes science )
For example - what happens after death - a hopeless answer is you are dug into a grave or burned .. or whatever ..
A more hopeful answer is - your soul is reborn .. may be in a better body .. just like you change clothes , soul changes bodies .. of course it is not proven ..but if it helps you over the grief or be less scared of eventual demise - there is no harm accepting it as a base line ..
Besides - religion tries to underscore good practices - honesty is good - help thy neighbour .. turns out these things pay you back .. they are good not cuz religion said so - religion underscores them cuz they are good 😊
Religion is dope and I love it
