Faith. So like believing with all your heart, soul and every fibre of your body that god exists and is looking after you.
The way people absolutely believe Elvis is alive on the moon or that the earth is flat bc a geek on YouTube says so?

My issue with any holy text is that we don't know who wrote them. Did g/Gods sit and dictate them to a scribe, bc they couldn't be faffed to write it themselves?

Or did someone just take it upon themselves to write it in g/Gods' names for them? (which makes it verge on a twisted kind of story telling that can't be verified)

They are archaic and full of contradictions that don't add up so at best g/Gods' words are flawed and at worst used by holy men to play us for fools for following them.

So we don't know.
And the touchy feely joy of the community based, divine -arms-in-the-air-waving singing intoning genuflexing solemnising prostrating? Is it not just mass ritual, passed from parent to child, to conform and obey? Nothing more than centuries long convention at rite?

And (scarily) nowadays we see more and more deviations each saying only they are right: separate schools of thought & practice (all human inspired) in Christianity Buddhism Islam Hinduism each with their own take on the holy books.

I just wish the world would wake up from this drug.
