The False Hope of Religion

A World Where Religion Doesn’t Exist

Last week I began a series with a post about how illogical it is to believe that there is a supernatural entity who answers your prayers. In the next post I suggested that only irrational people could believe in religion. Yet, in the third post, I said I believed in the power of prayer, or more specifically, the power of mind and thought. Finally, I promised that in this post, I would explain my idealistic vision of a prosperous world…

The Power of Thought and Prayer

We’re continuing the series on god, prayers and prosperity. Last post I told you that I don’t believe in god, but I do believe in the power of prayer. And I do believe that it is possible the prayers of Sloopy, his wife, and their friends and family could have helped cause her recovery.

God, Prayers, and Prosperity

Last post we continued the discussion on god, prayer, and prosperity. I said that you don’t manifest prosperity because you make a prayer, and an omnipotent force responds favorably to your plea. While believers are no doubt convinced that they worship the one true god and their god answers their prayers, the evidence would certainly not support that.

Are You a God-Fearing Person?

It’s fascinating how different people can look at the same concept and see two wildly different things. Take the concept of fearing god. You don’t hear it as much today (thankfully), but when I was growing up people would vouch for someone’s character by saying things like “He’s a God-fearing man.”

Obeying God

Last week I did a series of five posts about our need for deep questions, and things that challenge us. One of them was about how religion can cloud your future. It ignited a fascinating discussion. But one question that arose really intrigued me…

You Are a God

You are not meant to stay at this stage. You were born to become a catalyst, to love, create, and evolve. You were born to be rich and prosperous. But this requires self-awareness. Instead of being randomly provoked by thoughts others send your way, you must become the thinker of the thought, mindful enough to think about what you think about.

The Danger of Attachment

This kind of thinking is such a tragedy. Because once you let your attachment to something override your ability to question a premise or perform critical thinking – all learning, development, and growth stop.
