Folks, this is a must watch video from YouTube :
My comments :
The Greek philosopher Socrates developed a robust method of inquiry (asking questions) to arrive at the truth of a matter or to cast doubt on the truth of someone's argument. By casting doubt on the truth of someone's argument he could also arrive at the truth of a matter !
Socrates achieved this by continuously and repeatedly asking WHAT and WHY etc.
When someone just finished answering a question, they would again be asked WHY? So you keep asking WHY until the person cannot answer anymore or until they pengsan trying to answer WHY?
So I have a WHY question about the various religious "business models".
A slight offtake from the Socratic Method of asking Why and so on.
The Jewish religious business model believes in a Day of Judgement, a heaven and hell.
The christian religious business model also believes in about the same things.
The Hindu religious business model believes in the rebirth of the soul (adhogati, uttarayana, dhaksinayana), karma and such.
The Buddhist religious business model says "after death one is either reborn into another body (reincarnated) or enters nirvana. Only Buddhas (those who have attained enlightenment) will achieve nirvana."
These are some of the religious business models still found around our world.
My question is WHY?
Why a heaven, hell, afterlife business model (Jews, Christians plus one more).
Why a rebirth of soul business model?
Why a reincarnation business model?
Now if you folks have prepared an answer, I want to ask you again WHY?
If you can answer the WHY, then I want to ask again WHY?
Whatever your answer is, just keep asking again and again WHY?
If you cannot answer anymore (and no one else can either, let me assure you) then know that you DO NOT KNOW the alpha reason WHY your religion exists.
Its as simple as that. Once you understand that you will be more humble inside your own private thoughts.
So the guys in the video are arguing about their stones, rocks, stone blocks and clay bricks.
WHY?
After reading and understanding the Quran, I can answer these questions in two secondsflat.
And I have been humbled for a long time now.
