TRUTH, LIES AND RELIGION

-


All religions insist they have found the truth, despite the fact there are hundreds of religions and thousands of denominations preaching contradictory beliefs. This made me wonder, if religions were REALLY concerned about finding the truth, how would we expect them to behave?
I wouldn't expect to see religious or inter-denominational wars, such as we have seen between Shia and Sunni Muslims, Catholics and Protestants and between Muslims and Hindus. Obviously, you don't find who has the truth by killing those who have different opinions.


Instead, I would expect to see multi-faith working groups in centres of higher learning all over the world, working round the clock, sifting evidence, setting up archaeological expeditions and carrying out research. I would expect these centers of excellence to have ruled out most religions and denominations by now and be working hard to pare down the remaining short-list of religions.
Finally, I would not expect religions to cling to dogma that cannot be changed; rather I would expect religions readily to change their beliefs as new evidence is uncovered.
But in the real world, we do see killing, we do see rigid dogma and we do not see serious attempts to rule out false religions by mutual consent. Why not?

Because, religions are NOT about truth. Truth is not in the least relevant to religions. That is why religions rely on faith and eschew evidence; that is why they rely on indoctrination of children and not on open-minded inquiry. Religions are not about finding truth--they are about defending lies.

4 African Kings Who Ruled India That Have Been Erased From History

“…The darkest man is here the most highly esteemed and considered better than the others who are not so dark. Let me add that in very truth these people portray and depict their gods and their idols black and their devils white as snow. For they say that God and all the saints are black and the devils are all white. That is why they portray them as I have described.” – Marco Polo,after visiting the Pandyan Kingdom in 1288 More than a thousand years before the foundations of Greece and Rome, proud and industrious Black men and women known as the Dravidian erected a powerful civilization in the Indus Valley. From those origins, African Kings in India drove the region’s commerce, culture, and belief systems. Dr. Clyde Winters, author of Afrocentrism: Myth or Science? writes: “Ethiopians have had very intimate relations with Indians. In fact, in antiquity the Ethiopians ruled much of India. These Ethiopians were called the Naga. It was the Naga who created Sanskrit. ...

The Vatican Removed 14 Books From the Bible In 1684 With No Real Explanation

-
Image
Typically when the Bible is brought up in conversation, what comes to mind is a source of truth that has not been tampered with. However, when this book was originally published it contained 80 books and current editions only have 66, and we have to wonder what exact purpose the removal of 14 books would serve? The Vatican Church or Roman catholic church has been associated with deception for ages. Their atrocities have ranged from  genocide  many centuries ago against the Cathars to  child molestation  is more recent years. The Bible was originally translated from Latin into English in 1611. This “original” Bible contained 80 books, including the Apocrypha, which means hidden. These  Apocrypha books made up the end of the Old Testament, and included the following books: • 1 Esdras • 2 Esdras • Tobit • Judith • The rest of Esther • The Wisdom of Solomon • Ecclesiasticus • Baruch with the epistle Jeremiah • The Songs of the...

Astrology And The Cosmic Parental Connection

Image
The following was written by Digansela Ubuntu. Born DeAndre Fears, Digansela Ubuntu is an Alumni of Hume-Fogg Academic, and is currently a University of Memphis student of Geography. His strong Baptist Christian background and passion for the culture of our melanin-rich people leads his never-ending quest to make the truth known to masses. Let me start by asking this question: When is the last time you have considered astrology? Most people would disregard the study, as they usually think only of horoscopes and many find horoscopes silly. But, astrology? Is there a difference between astrology and horoscopes? Astrology is the study of the stars and their vastly unexplored effect of phenomena and events in the human world. Learning about the stars actually helps we better understand ourselves. Think of the Principle Law of Correspondence which states, “as above, so below.” Following this method, as we continue to seek knowledge about the vastness of space, we, indeed, should ...

The Matrix. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain but you feel it. You felt it your entire life. That there's something very wrong with the world. You don't know what it is - but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about? The Matrix? Do you want to know what it is? The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room.

Born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch - a prison for your mind. Unfortunately, no one can ...

The Hell Of Humanity: Your Immortal Soul Is Trapped In A Low-Vibratory Holographic Illusion We Call The Material World And The Human Body

-
Image
Being a multidimensional immortal soul repeating a temporary, encapsulating, and illusionary “material” experience is Hell. In it’s proper context, the “Lucifer” that fell from heaven is the illuminated soul of the Original man falling from the high-vibratory circumstance of the spiritual/astral/mental realm into a crystalized material circumstance as a human. Heaven is the mental circumstance. Hell is the “physical” circumstance. It has been suggested by even the earliest civilizations whom studied occult sciences that becoming a human is not necessarily a “blessing”, but rather a wretched and repetitious condition that must be overcame and conquered. This means that we are alive to achieve a particular transformation of our own soul that would allow us keep up with the progressive evolution of everything in the universe. The transformation that must be achieved apparently is only possible while completely encapsulated by crystallized matter, like a child in a womb. For the so...
