When I was about 5 years old, I loved only the first part of church. It was mandatory that children in my family go to “Sunday School” service, where they are taught the basics of the bible and memorize small verses. But my favorite part was the candies and sweets as well as cake at times. After which, we sat at the front when the main service started, or next to parents/grandparents. Usually, we would fall asleep in the middle of the ceremony and towards the end, it would seem like forever and would not end. Then after dinner and a few hours of recreation, it was back to church Sunday night. This was a routine every week, so it became a part of life. If you asked why you had to go to church, you would be frowned upon and be told “To serve God” and asked “Don’t you want to go to heaven?” and that usually ends the story.
Following my findings and continuous research, I realized that my desire to break away for my long family history of confiding to the church and relying on what they think is the right way and trusting in “God” to “Answer their prayers” was the precursor to the knowledge I have acquired thus far. I just did not believe that “God”, the all powerful being, was in control of everything. It just didn’t make common sense, given the destruction, weapons, killings, starvation and the countless other situations that doesn’t seem to be a “Good” situation to be in, that countless people are affected negatively by. If “God” was in charge, I don’t think that this being would idly watch and just help those who “serve” him blindly. It doesn’t make sense for a self sufficient powerful being to prey on other beings and be “righteous” and require worship. Furthermore, if that were the case, I believe anyone or any being that power hungry would show their wrath without question so everyone stay in line and do as they are told or else. So to say “God gave me this” and “God gave me that” and “God made me this way” is so far from the truth, that people just accept this blatant lie, because they have forgotten genetically their true spiritual nature.
It is not easy for any individual to just stumble across any valuable information without intentionally searching for it, or have someone present them with the information to begin with. Anyone that reached the point of absolute success will know, after looking back, that there were triggers that specifically allowed them to excel to great heights. Each choice they had to make at important times, determined the road they took to be where they are at.
While on my quest to find the truth, I came across a quote, “It takes misinformation to filter through only one generation, to corrupt the future of that race.” Why you might ask? Because our children are our future, what we teach them, is what they will teach their offspring/children, and so forth. So if you do not care about your child, and that child grows up with neglect and abuse, more than likely, they will pass on that hatred to their children, and so forth. The result is corruption of the entire generation going forward, until one generation breaks away from the corrupt thought pattern and find their way back to the truth, if at all possible.
A church-go-er once asked me “Why don’t you go to church? Don’t you want to hear the word of God?” My answer was simple, I did not need the church to dictate what the “word of God” was to me. The person was smart enough to think about what I said and look into the possibility of why we need people telling us what a book already says, each and every Saturday and/or Sunday. The simple fact to this dilemma, is that our nature is to attach to something higher than our current being. Our minds are so malleable, that we will grow to attach ourselves to some spiritual phenomenon, whether it be church, drugs, a cult, a group mind, atheism, or a religion of some sort.
The reason for this is because we are not earth-bound creatures. We are not just matter born and eventually die. We do not just “exist temporarily” and then go back to “nothingness”. We are of a higher existence, than we can possibly even comprehend with our limited earthly minds. I know someone’s thinking “He must be losing it” or “how are you so sure” or “Where did you get this BS from”. Well, the simple fact that we aspire to find an inner connection, an outer connection and a connection to something greater, is not something I believe can be a coincidence all over the world. Just about every culture prays to some deity or God. Pray for life, abundance and happiness. Some of us even pray to live a long and happy, healthy life.
Who or what are we praying to? Without a reference or a tangible source of knowing for one’s self, how can we truly know that we are praying to the “right” source? There is no religion that have proved or showed their subjects that something that they are taught to be the truth is actually real or positive. It is all based on total imagination and belief that this thing, this story, this entire fabrication is a real and positive thing they are serving and praying to. No one in these religions, except maybe a small portion of “chosen ones” or very high priest of a religion, may have actually experienced true Gnosis (the spiritual knowledge of a saint or mystically enlightened human being). While being the only one with this knowledge, and denying all the “subjects” this ability, one can only speculate if there is any true good left at a high level of even the church.
Because of this lack of intelligence, and knowing God for one’s self, as well as the threat of total damnation and burning in the flames of the so called “Hell”, one is terrorized into a forceful belief system that promises a fabrication of what is regarded as the true “word of God” although no one has actually heard “words” coming from the creator directly. Furthermore, in just about every religion, it is usually forbidden to do any kind of religious research or question the faith or religious texts. I don’t know about you, but that’s very suspect to me. If I present anyone with information, it is usually a good idea to do your own research and make your own conclusion on whether something you believe makes sense to you, rather than have “blind faith” on someone else’s interpretation of what they think is the “truth”.
So I think this sums up just about all major angles as to why I say “No to Church”.
