"The theologies of existence and of life has been under constant question and challenge since the beginning of time, whenever that was. Many grow up knowing that God exists. I myself do not question this as i have no way of disproving it. But one thing which i totally disbelieve is religion. A creation of man simply to manipulate those who are weak in society. Since Catholicism came into existence it has been a source of power and income over the ruling system.
Many do not have the urge nor the required logic to argue this point of view. One constant dilema that religious clerics run into is to explain the origins of God, or why he decided to create this planet. But instead of investigating, many simply shun this idea and prefer to remain in peace with the unexplicable reasoning that he simply is. I cannot disprove this ergo, i will join the bandwagon.
Another factor that any religious group need look into is the all knowing power of God. As many believe, God knows all this that were, are and will be. One would be led to the conclusion that we don't have a say in what goes on in our lives then. All things that happen have been planned and are predesposed. An even worse conclusion is that we don't have a choice in whether we live in eternal joy(heaven) or eternal damnation(hell).
Under a microscope, heaven/hell can be considered an explanation of earth. Our lives on earth is a constant battle. As it says in the Bible, "man is to spend the rest of his days on earth toiling the unruly land" Many have never found piece on earth, so one can say that they live in a "hell on earth." While others such as the Dalai Lama claim to have found inner peace, which could be considered a heaven. But as proven by Jesus during his time on earth, man will always be unhappy and filled with sorrow and anguish. So couldn't this Dalai Lama be considered a false prophet, preaching that we can find peace, even though not the selfish self-oriented peace.
