Prepare to be offended, think, or have an epiphany.
In order to gain knowledge, one must reject religion. The grandest delusion of all is thinking that “no matter what happens, everything will be okay.” That creates a rejectionist standpoint on knowledge, making it a non-essential or unimportant trait in the long run because it contributes nothing to who you’ll be in “Heaven.” True knowledge is in direct contradiction to religion. True knowledge is understanding and accepting that one cannot know the outcome of the future, a claim religion makes by asserting there is an afterlife, and assigning characteristics to that afterlife (e.g. The proposed existence of Heaven). Religion promotes seeing the good in everyone, and looking forward to Death in a robotic like fashion because of the fabricated promise that there will be only “Goodness and Light” in the afterlife, which, in itself, is a complete unknowable and extremely ambiguous (to the say the least.) We don’t even have a clear, agreed upon definition of what makes something “Good,” so how can we know that the afterlife is “Good” or “A Better Place”. Is it to be believed that because we are uncertain about how to accurately define “Good” universally, that the afterlife is full of just as much uncertainty? If so, what does this say about Man? Does this paint Man as a creature that traps and confines itself to these cyclical limitations out of fear of growing and actualizing his potential and reaching inner-solace?
Think about it.
