Religion is not a quest for "truth" it is a quest away from "truth". The reason being is that "truth" itself is non existent outside the human mind. Man creates the methods to pursue truth as they first define it. In other words, whenever one asks a question he/she already has the answer. The only thing lacking, is the method to arrive at that particular truth.
An example of this is the often quoted phrase "they're always the last to know" when it comes to a person finding out that there loved one is "messing around" on them.
Have a great day,Gil. |
I understand where your coming from and agree mostly, but, I think that in some cases religon is like government in that is a means to bring order or find order, into a person, family or groups/clans lives.
