Most of the people in the world who grew up in Jewish, Christian or Muslim communities are forced to believe and follow the "holy books and scriptures" as well as the corresponding religious views and traditions since their early childhood. Most of them live their entire lives without ever doubting and questioning the written word or the practice of their religion. Although our souls are eternal and indestructible, once we reincarnate and enter a new vessel, a new body, we drink from the river of Lethe, the river of forgetfulness and begin our life with no former memory of our past lives or our true divine nature. As the child is born, he sees his parents as his teachers and gods. His mind is fragile and he starts to believe in what his parents and peers tell him to believe in rather than acquiring a set of tools for critical and free-thinking.Without such tools, one is unable to find his way in this world as well as the answers to the greatest questions that have riddled humanity for ages. Religion attempts to explain the nature of reality through a set of laws, beliefs, and practices which are based on a higher power and a higher reality. Although religion is necessary for the human race in order to connect ourselves back into the divine, not all religions are good. In fact, there can be only one true religion that unites all of the human race, based entirely on logic and reason. The reason why there can be only one religion is that reality can have only one answer, only one absolute Truth. Such is the beauty of reason. It would be irrational to have several correct answers as they are different in nature and contradict each other. Therefore, subjective truths can never lead one to the objective Truth. There are subjective truths as the number of people in the world, and if you accept one of them as true, there is no sufficient reason why you would not accept another one. Truth is rational and therefore can have only one answer.Yet the world we live in is far from being united under one religion and is far from being rational. There are approximately 4000 different religions with 3 major religions - the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Most of the world succumb to one of these 3 religions. These religions are based entirely on faith. This means, if you believe in Judaism, then Christianity and Islam are false and not true. If you believe in Christianity, then Judaism and Islam are not true. If you believe in Islam, then Judaism, and Christianity are not true. But these religions are based entirely on faith. How could one truly know which story is true? Obviously, he cannot. Faith can never give you the truth. It is forever to remain a faith. One can believe in something absolutely wrong, false and even harmful to his own health. As long as his faith is strong, this idea is his truth. But the fact that a person believes that an idea is true, does not make it true. Truth must be rational, reasonable, irrefutable and immutable. Truth cannot be refuted and it cannot be contradicted. Once a person acquires a set of tools for rational and critical thinking, he is able to analyze everything and pave his way through the ocean of lies. With logic, reason, and deduction, we are able to remove all the weeds and find our way to the absolute truth. People succumb to religion not by their free-will but by the randomness of being born to a family that follows this religion. If you are born to parents who are Jewish, you will be Jewish. But if you were born to parents who are Muslims, then you shall be Muslim. If you are born to parents who are Christians then you shall be Christian as well. Unless of course, you will be able to break the cycle of brainwashing and indoctrination done from generation to generation, dictate your own life and shape your own destiny. To find the strength within is a difficult task. To transform yourself into something higher is the most difficult task of them all.
