God is hope for those who need hope most
Dear readers, this post is the continuation of a
previous post, religious reasons and prayers, where we were having a religious meeting.
Where one of our friends was going to talk about, what he had found by asking
people their religious views, since we had asked him to talk about it. So, he
answered us this way.
Well, I am glad you asked; I would say that most of
the people that we have talked to, they are not interested talking about
religious things willingly, and those who are talking, have expressed
themselves in many ways; but let me break these people beliefs in groups so to
speak, so that, a better picture can be seen?
So, first I have to say that a lot of people
believe in God and religion just the way it is today. You see, since most
religions have been the same for thousands of years, they are used to these
religious beliefs; so, this portion of people does not want any change in
religion, as they are happy to stay with the ways religions are nowadays, and
if they have any doubts in their minds they are not showing it. So, it would be
a waste of time to talk to them unless you agree fully with their religious
beliefs, and you talk to them, just to have a chat and be friendly.
There is also a portion of people that have doubts
about today’s religions, so, they are ready to talk about their religious
beliefs and doubts, some of these people don’t feel sure whether what is being
taught about religion today is the right thing to do. So, they ask themselves
many religious questions, but they have no answers for any of those questions.
They are religious believers, but they have some doubts in their mind and
heart. You can talk to this group of people and they talk to you willingly, but
they are not much help either, if you want to find out anything, or to
formulate any new religious ideas.
We have also noted that right in the middle there
is this large group of people, which believe in God
and religions only up to a certain point, these people usually
would like to know more and ask all sorts of questions, in the hope that they
could find their way, how to return to religion fully one day, as they seem to
feel that religion is still important to them in many ways; sometimes these
people seem to want to follow religion just to have a sense of belonging to a
group, as they like to have friends and religion gives this religious link to
them that helps to have some friends.
Then there is at the extreme end of this middle
group those who believe very little in religion as it is today, so, they are
asking too many questions themselves about religions, they are agnostic as they
believe and at the same time don’t believe in God and religions, one does not
know what to do with this group, and yet they are the most interesting group,
just because they would like to know more. That is all there is in this middle
group.
And then, there is this last group of people, which
today I would call the danger group for religion and religious beliefs, they
are the atheist, they don’t believe in God and religions at all, so, for them
it would be better if religions did not exist. They are usually very
intelligent people and have a good job, so, for them there are no worries in
life, therefore, they don’t see the need of God and religion to help them with
their lives, like some less fortunate people do. Now, because they don’t need
God and religions, as they feel secure within themselves; this well to do group
starts putting forwards all sort of stories, in order to blame religion for
some of the bad things religions have done in the past. They would also talk
about religious extremist to run down religions, since these religious
extremist kill in the name or their God. (Anyhow, today I don’t want to talk
about the religious extremist, because this would change my main view of how I
see religions;) so, I am saying that these people don’t see that mankind have
only to blame themselves, because no real religion tells its believers to
directly kill, or do anything else that may harm anyone.
But then, also attached to this well-educated
atheist group, there are a few people that are poor uneducated people and they
don’t believe in God just to protest their bad luck, as they are not happy
about what the world is giving them, so, they see the need to believe only in
themselves; now, because of this belief they may become the worst sort of
mankind, because they don’t have any respect for humanity, and also they don’t
have a God or religion or any other sort of inbuilt restrain within them. I
could say more about this group but I think it is better that I stop here and
see what you think about it all.
Having said all this about religions; I would only
like to add what I have learned from all these enquiries; and I want you to
remember how I see religion now, as this may well be important from now on, if
we are going to talk about religious issues, because I believe that religions
are important to keep, even if one day they might need to be modified.
Religions might not be a universal human belief, as we have seen in the example
of the atheists; but God and religions are still needed today for those people
that are unfortunate, as they feel within their heart that they need God to
protect or help them. For this reason, God and religions are needed, because;
God and religion is hope for those who need hope most.
So, remember that;
Religion and God is hope for those who need hope
most.
I said, very well said Mark! And so did Gino at the
same time.
I believe that I have said enough in this post, so,
see you in our next post, where we will comment on Mark speech.
May God bless us all?
