Everyone has a piece of the truth.Can you say something about how you understand of religions to be a way to wisdom of the spiritual realm and why we have different religions in this world? Still in this tread, only your own words )
That is a very good point We do see truth differently but that does not mean we see "all" of it wrong or "all" of it right at this very momentEveryone has a piece of the truth.
I tend to view that various religions and denominations as being attempts to understand God(s), but I don't believe any one of them has any sort of monopoly on the Truth, whatever that may be.Can you say something about how you understand of religions to be a way to wisdom of the spiritual realm and why we have different religions in this world?

Do i understand you right that you think every religion/spiritual path at least hold some truth? But you can not say if all of the religion hold the full truth?I tend to view that various religions and denominations as being attempts to understand God(s), but I don't believe any one of them has any sort of monopoly on the Truth, whatever that may be.
Another way to state what I said is that nobody is so dumb as to be wrong 100% of the time.That is a very good point We do see truth differently but that does not mean we see "all" of it wrong or "all" of it right at this very moment

It is a bumpy road to walk, but the effort we lay down is the forward motion of the path Inner wisdom does not come easyReligion is like training wheels for those who are learning to ride a bicycle. Once riding is mastered, the training wheels are no longer needed even though they were vital at an earlier stage.
And what is "riding" in this context? It's finding the truth within oneself and living that truth.
And, of course, this does not come easily to the vast majority of people, including myself.

Honestly @Nakosis that is some of the most impressive wisdom I have ever read or heard Thank you for sharing your own wisdomThe end of religion is the beginning of wisdom.
You start out looking for answers/truth thinking someone has to possess these. Lot of claims are made and being young and ignorant you have little choice except to listen. Eventually you come to learn that no one has any real answers or any knowledge of something called "truth". Of course you wouldn't know this unless you involved yourself in these various beliefs.
So once you accept that no one has any secret knowledge and there is no truth to be learned you find a place of peace and can let go of the search for truth.
One has to face the illusion of truth to let go of it. Religion forces one to come face to face with the illusion of truth, accept it for what it is, and let go of it.
I think religions help people clarify their own ethical ideals, and then provide them with tools that they can use to help themselves better embody those ideals.Can you say something about how you understand of religions to be a way to wisdom of the spiritual realm and why we have different religions in this world?

Religions are poetic prose in different languages, explaining the nature of reality; different cultures of religion gave rise to different languages, and societies based on religious ethics.Can you say something about how you understand of religions to be a way to wisdom of the spiritual realm and why we have different religions in this world?

Thank you for your reply Wizanda, But can i ask how a person become racist when it comes to understanding religious texts, when racists mean to be against a race or a certain kind of people? Not sure i understand your meaning of the word racistReligions are poetic prose in different languages, explaining the nature of reality; different cultures of religion gave rise to different languages, and societies based on religious ethics.
Currently much of the world is very confused, as much of their religious texts coincide with each other in concepts, and wording; yet people are racists, so they become bigoted over different traditional words meaning the same thing.
When we understand that in all religious texts, when we take words to root meanings, we can show how the wisdom within the teachings are the same; the errors are often more noticeable when we cross reference the religions, as it makes a clearer cohesive total to analyse.
Yet to understand each wisdom, we have to understand contexts properly of each religious structuring, and concept; then when we understand the subjects, we can cross reference them, and see the simplicities within the middle line of the contrasts.
In my opinion.
Because a religion will apply to a colour of skin, often people won't read each others texts, as they speak different languages; then they see each other as aliens to each other, due to societal norms, and traditions.can i ask how a person become racist when it comes to understanding religious texts, when racists mean to be against a race or a certain kind of people?
Honestly that is some words from one who see him self as Messiah. Can you honestly say that Messiah 2000 years ago would go around calling people Racists?Because a religion will apply to a colour of skin, often people won't read each others texts, as they speak different languages; then they see each other as aliens to each other, due to societal norms, and traditions.
Thus often the reason bigotedness even exists, is because people were racist in the first place; otherwise they'd realize often religions are speaking about the same things, just using different words in different languages.
In my opinion.
