Why Some People Turn to Religion (and Others Don't)

[Rafael Thundercat]

As a self de-converted religous one I can say that this video hit very good point. Religion gives some stuff what make it appeling like a feeling of Belonging to a group and other stuff described in the Video. And also the main reason for me to leave it was exactly the contratictions in the Doctrine and not because some external force

It's easier to give authority to a priest to decide for you than to take several hits of 5-MeO-DMT.

@shree Is like giving you balls in the hands of another. Those Who have balls to face God will grab their ball and go balls to the ball and bite the bullet. 

The phrase “bite the bullet” has an interesting origin. Historically, during surgery, patients would clench a bullet in their teeth to cope with intense pain, especially when anesthesia wasn’t available1. This act of raw resilience found its way into linguistic idioms, symbolizing courage in the face of adversity2. So, next time you encounter a tough situation, remember the soldiers who literally bit the bullet!

You still belong to a certain religion/lineage even if you don't practice it. It's not a choice. It's something that is part of who you are at the deep core soul level. You can do whatever you want but eventually everyone is going to end up where they were assigned to from the beginning by destiny. 

It's a huge blindness to think you can grow even an inch by yourself. Those who think they are making progress by themselves are simply not aware of all the help they've been receiving, invisible to their puny eyes and understanding.

@Salvijus you speak like you know me personaly. And you dont. You dont know me at all. 

"You still belong to a certain religion/lineage even if you don't practice it." 

What do you mean by this? 

[Salvijus]

I'm not talking about you specifically but about everyone.

I mean that there're streams of spirituality that are responsible for upliftment of conciousness. Not just on earth but spiritual realms that hover over earth. Nobody can grow without the assistance of these forces. There is nobody who doesn't belong to one of these streams, even a person is total nonbeliever . You still belong to one of these streams. It's like a bloodline. Spiritual bloodline.

How do you know this? I’m curious because I’ve been thinking about these things lately

There's actually a more serious answer to it. But it wouldn't be any more convincing than the previous one unfortunatly unless you were a bit more ready to hear it. So making a joke out of it was my only option.

Trying to prove the validity of a source is a difficult thing. What I sense is that if I shared the source of my knowledge and statements. You wouldn't be able to believe me. Not yet. So that sense is stopping me from answering the question directly. Sorry

I'm going to test your open mindedness in pm and then you can report back here if you were convinced or complete rejection

That's her polite answer. What she actually said was "outlandish nonsense" 

Joking... She did an honest review. Convincing the credibility of a source is just a long of hard investigation that can be pain in the ass and not everyone is even interested in doing that sort of research.

No problem I was curious in the subject 👍🏻

Religion is powerful.

You can use religion as a way to be more creative, powerful & detached.

You can also use religion to be a slave.

This is the video I showed her. You can decide the credibility of my source for yourselves.
