Religious awareness for America

     I ran across someone the other day that sat across from me at a desk and asked me some very odd questions. I will not repeat them verbatim for reasons of personal standards. But I will reveal the gist of the conversation. Question: Do you believe that you are going to Heaven when you die? Answer: Don't know, I cannot formulate Heaven into a cognitive answer. Question: Do you feel that you are following the right religion? Answer: I follow my heart not a Religion. Question: What are you searching for? Answer: An answer you cannot give me. Question: What if my Religion is right and our teachings are correct, and what do you have to lose by following our message? Answer: I lose everything, A Religious belief or group that is just over 100 years old cannot have formulated all the answers of the greatest question, that has been on every single humans mind. And that question is :Why are we here? The sheer arrogance of someone thinking they have all the answers to that question is to me just staggering. If for some reason someone would have come up with an answer, why are we as humans still killing each other every day. All over one Question: What is the one true religion. 

     This person has little to no experience in life and most of their acquaintances have kind of lived in the shadows of a belief that denies them the ability to look for themselves. The experience of life has taught me one thing and that is, when people are so paranoid that they start looking into your life for who you are, then they are looking for a weakness to exploit. Because in life things are not always what they seem to be. And people can formulate their opinions on a very common mistake. Not trusting their gut. 

     I only write this because you see so many people trying to change the way you think by trying to change the narrative in your life. They tend to look up information on families and friends and then formulate a way to gain your trust. That is a form of cultism that can snatch you up before you even know it has. Trust in your own beliefs and hold fast to your way of life. Listen to your heart and it will not fail you. And when someone starts to ask personal questions, keep those answers to yourself. My father use to always tell me: only give out the basic information because if you give more, someone will then have what they need to use against you when it suits them. As far as your Religious beliefs, stay true to your heart, and listen to that inner voice, you know the one that makes your hair stand up on the back of your neck. With that you can never go wrong. But most of all be very leery of people who begin a conversation with personal questions, especially Religious ones.
