WHY I DROPPED RELIGION
Friend let’s talk about religion, I wanna share my THOUGHTS and explain WHY I dropped religion. I wrote a book titled “Mystery School” where I shared most of what I’m going to write now.
Religion plays a big part in so many peoples lives; it has its PROS and CONS but I’m gonna have to admit that there’s a lot of POSITIVITY one can BENEFIT from being or belonging to a religious movement. It teaches great MORAL VALUES. I don’t honestly think that it’s wrong to have a religion but I want to enlighten something that I’ve learned throughout the years:
Religion was INITIALLY established to HELP humans CONNECT with a higher force/ energy also known as a Deity/God. That was what religion was all about in the beginning.
But with TIME, the whole CONCEPT of religion got twisted by men using it as a mean to CONTROL and have POWER over people. Turning it into a wholesome set or RULES and CHECKLIST that people have to follow in order to get an afterlife REWARD. Sadly many people have gone astray of its original purpose and have settled to live life accordingly to what EXPECTED of them by MEN.
Religion has become a SYSTEM that got many people stuck within because of the fears derived from teachings of certain DOCTRINES; FEARS of JUDGEMENT, REJECTION or going to HELL. Religion puts people in a box, it narrows perspectives and teaches people what to THINK and WHO to be. It’s a label and a platform that SEPARATES people and creates COMPLEXES. And any platform of life that tries to get into your thinking era and build you into someone you know you aren’t deep within, is a SYSTEM. When you feel OBLIGATED to be who you’re not, when you’re afraid to be your true self, whenever you feel in BONDAGE, know that you’re under a system.
I journeyed outside of the religious spectrum after I came into this realization :
God is NOT a dictator!!! There’s no such thing as following a ritual that’s totally OPPOSED to the kind of calling placed within your person. If your religion is requiring you to be who you know you only can become by FALSIFYING your identity, then know that that AIN’T God.
If religion was established to connect with God, then we don’t need to be religious we need to be in a RELATIONSHIP with this God. Now, if within our relationship we feel CONVICTED to being religious in order to strengthen our BOND with this God, then we got to do as we are guided; it’s all an INDIVIDUAL epiphany.
For example:
If you feel convicted by your inner person, to let’s say start a church. That being your vision and conviction makes it YOUR truth and you therefore are expected to follow what’s being asked of you to do by whoever’s inspired you to do it, but you having this conviction DOESN’T mean everyone around you also has to do the same thing unless they also have the SAME conviction. Otherwise that would be considered a RELIGION.
Religion is pretty much doing what EVERYONE else is expecting of you, relationship is doing what God is expecting of you and every relationship is DIFFERENT.
RELIGION is pleasing men, relationship is pleasing GOD. Religion is listening to men, relationship is following the VOICE of God. And sadly many people are religious and few are in relationships. This is why there are so many CONFUSED souls out there.
This is also why people live in HYPOCRISY and self-deception. Religion can poison your soul especially when you feel like you own people an explanation about your truth. They will judge you regardless of what you do, so follow that whisper, and come to this realization that there’s no such thing as a relationship between you, God and other people. It’s you and God. You and God ALONE!
God has no religion, He’s LOVE. And If your religion is causing you to spread less love around the world then know that God ISNT a part of it!
