No 1611 of Living Life Series 1
Men tend to be gullible more so with what they could not understand.
Men used to think the eruption of volcano, earthquakes and lightning and thunder meant the anger of God.
Men used to think that the world was flat until it was proven by travel to be otherwise.
Men used to think that God created the first human beings and if so, then the first man and woman would have the look of gorillas. Then there would be inbreeding and humanity would have ceased to exist.
Such was the gullibility of men. What happens to the logic of man?
Well, even with organised religions, gullibility have taken over logic.
Men who can think choose not to believe in logic and are swayed by the behavior of other men. Is this the problem in religion?
Bo Tien 武天 says that the problems of men are many and plentiful.
Bo Tien 武天 notices the nature of men. Men tend to flow downstream with the crowd and give logic a miss.
Truth is based on logic. But many choose to think that truth is what others do and they flow downstream with the crowd.
Even simple logic should tell us what to believe in. We do not need to be educated to have simple logic.
Even with the tangible, many just do not apply simple logic or reasoning. When logic is taboo, what would men end up with?
Would they end up being led by the nose? Well it is sad that many choose not to believe in simple logic in life.
We can imagine the consequences if logic is a no-no in religion and we have to believe, follow the crowd and not any question or have doubt.
Bo Tien 武天 says doubt is good as doubt makes us know better when we find out more.
It is never wrong to have doubts. It is wrong if we do not find out even if we have doubts, worse still if we deny having doubts. It is good to have doubts if such doubts push us to find out and learn more.
Without logic what will become of religion? Ask anyone that and if there is simple logic, the answer will be obvious. No need to ask God or any heavenly saint like Bo Tien 武天.
But we should be appreciative that Bo Tien 武天 sees the need to state the obvious.
Truth is simple but many just do not see the simplicity. They think truth is profound and find it difficult to perceive. If all can realize this simplicity, then all will be better off in what they are in life - more so in religion.
