Nothing my eye, Something for sure
Anyone can discover maximum goodness and innocence without a Bible or a Messenger. Necessity is the mother of invention. We invent meanings to describe our experiences, or what we may need from experience. The human creature is limited by nature as to what good they can perform and to what extent.
By way of sincerity in seeking we come to know good. When a child hands you something you need thinking it may help you, the child perceived an opportunity to do good. Many children have this instinct that they learn. Likewise a child is taught not to trust just anybody and to be careful that trust is earned and that not everybody is trustworthy. Or learn the hard way.
I see religions generalize all people's to be of one condition, mainly that everybody is in need of Mercy from the Allmighty. How is this knowledge?
We can see that there are two paths in life that people can go by morally. One is of trustworthiness, the other not at all trustworthy. And then we all go about making decisions by way of testing and proving people, or just simply letting people be. Sooner or later we all have to defend against people that are up to no good.
What does religion teach you beyond that of which you come to learn on your own or by way of others without religion?
Does religion produce love or do we find it otherwise?
Trial and error, and failing before we succeed is how many people live. Observation, and experience is how everyone comes to knowing things.
We learn the theory and reality of things by observation and the actuality of things by doing. And isn't that how people know themselves.
I have often been told to just believe and just accept. That is blind Faith.
You must test and prove something to know something. Does religion offer these foolproof tests that you may come to know that the religion is actually true? Otherwise if it doesn't then it is meaningless. Are there any how to guides in religion? Do these books have explanatory power in any regard or do they just lead to more questions and further disillusionment?
I can learn more from a dictionary then I can from any religion. Religion ought to define its terms and clarify its concepts when it speaks of the issues of life. Instead some religions hammers down judgments, issues commands, and declares itself obvious.
