During our formative years in school we were all frightened to believe in religious scarecrows. Indeed, when a child’s brain is damaged, it will believe anything, and examine nothing.
Take a look at this one serious issue: In every religion the priests alone have the right to determine what pleases or displeases God. But what we never get to examine is how come the priests will always determine what pleases or displeases them first.
Indeed, in every religion, the grand scheme of the priests is to blow hot and blow cold, to afflict and console, to frighten and reassure. They call it “theology” – the study of nothing reduced to a system not to brighten, but to frighten – the minds and hearts of children.
In our schools, colleges, and universities – students and teachers both need to teach themselves a priceless skill: learning how to learn. Especially learning not WHAT to believe, but HOW to think.
In the meantime, nothing learned from reading books is worth anything unless it is used and verified in life; and only then does it begin to affect behavior and attitude. It is life that educates; and perhaps love than more anything else in life. Especially the love of learning via the search of the truth. Poch Suzara
