Do you believe that a man should follow the way of life of another man in hopes of getting all the riches the man before him had received, sr should The man create his own path through the guidelines of the man before him. I already know my answer, so just pick one or expand on one and tell me why. A man can follow anothers path, i find this a bit similar cheating. A man could take this 'shortcut' but a man of principles would obviously create his own path through the guidelines of others or just create a path out of what he feels to be right.
I think of Religion as a freeway to a certain end. I think people follow the guidelines of their bible too strictly. In simple terms, people have missed their exits.
I am Atheist but I've read the Bible, and God gave man free will, but in many places it seems as though it limits free will, i.e. (do this or be damned to h**l).
I think that free will is a key that God has hidden in his book. Because God's ultimate test is not to see if you can follow his road to heaven but if you can create your own road there.
Someone has said "God has given us a key to unlock heaven, but that key also unlocks the gates of h**l." I may be athiest but I find many a truth in the bible.
There is indeed philosophy in religion. Religion was the only answer philosophers gave the world when they could not solve a problem.
I have wondered a bit, but I hope you'll see the point behind this.
