No 1135 of Living Life Series 1
If we have doubts about our religion, we are likely to be better off in the religion. Doubts arise because we don't fully agree and according to Lord Bo Tien 武天菩萨, this is good.
There is the inquiring mind and the mind keen to know more beyond what are accepted by the crowd. If we believe wholesale, we tend to be less questioning. We don't even think for ourselves. We let others think for us
We tend to believe from the word go. We end up more gullible. We may be swayed and be easily moved and emotional. We are not level headed and may end up fanatical - doing the unthinkable that people frown at.
Doubt is good. Doubt is not a wrong doing to anyone least of all God and saints.
Doubts maketh the man of spirituality. He is the man of logic and common sense. He won't follow the crowd and be easily led by the nose by the man at the pulpit.
He sees things as they are or at least in the way he understands. He knows the weak areas and the strengths. He embraces logic - Tao 道 .
He is more discerning and calm. He does not accept gospel truth. He is less likely to do the unthinkable.
How can he when he draws no line between himself and others let alone between religions? He learns from all religions to be better at what he believes - to be better in the religion he is in.
He lives in the beautiful world where people accept one another for what they are. The world is his family. Since when will members of the same family hold the same thoughts and views?
All have their share of doubts. That is life. All who think will have doubts. When there is no doubts, perhaps there is no thinking. They just let others think for the.
Each one thinks for himself. All do not let others think for them. They are one even if of different views. No line is drawn even in the name of religion.
Society should be like that - heterogynous yet there is remarkable oneness. Members of society stimulate one another to think more and become a thinking society - a society of Tao 道.
