This Lil Piggy says: Religion is a self imposed learning disability, do you agree?

Answer 1

Oh....I love that wording! Self-imposed learning disability!

Can I have the piggy's permission to use that?

Answer 2

Self imposed, yes although many do not realize that they have imposed it on themselves simply by accepting the beliefs of their parents without any thought. Learning disability, however, I disagree with. An absolute or even strong belief in a religion can seriously disable a persons ability to learn but is not in itself a disability. I would say it is more of a conscious decision to not learn or hear about things that do not support the held belief, no matter how strong the physical evidence against the belief.

Answer 3

Why doesn't all of those who are against religion/God/Christians etc. just get your own site and not clutter up this one with so much hate! You don't have to be a Christian to get tired of it. Every other question on the weekends especially is aimed at religion in some hate form. If you don't like them ignore them and don't answer their questions but better yet form your own blogs and not use this one!

Answer 5

Answer 6

Completely. But you know what they say - ignorance is bliss. This is probably why a lot of people are religious - if they learned the truth, they wouldn't be able to live as happily. Me, I was never able to delude myself that much in the first place.

My kin is finished on Lutheran and that they are extremely non secular. i became born into the comparable faith and steered in it from the time i became a toddler. yet even from a youthful age, it appeared that not something I did religiously could ever be "stable sufficient". i've got usually theory now as an grownup that i ought to alter right into a nun or some thing and my kin could nonetheless discover me lacking in some way or yet another. faith became used to intimidate and punish in my kin and for this reason, I definitely have been out and in of therapy when you consider that i became a teenager. Secular therapy at that as I as quickly as made the blunders of attempting to speak to a minister because it became a spiritual rely and all I have been given advised became "Ask and ye shall receive", which became finished baloney as i could been "asking" all alongside for my kin to resign treating me as though I have been born certain for Hell devoid of any desire of salvation. there became additionally common opposition in my kin besides, extremely between myself and a cousin. He became a minister's son, I wasn't. That gave him a head initiate. He memorized Bible passages from the time he became 4. i did not, that made him "extra effective".

I nonetheless harbor a great little bit of anger in the direction of my kin, between different issues. I nonetheless experience trapped as I nonetheless ought to pretend that i've got faith by nonaction, whilst the healthful element could be to easily tell them. yet i'm unable to. i comprehend they had disown me if I advised them i became atheist by way of fact of their habit. So is faith undesirable for psychological wellness? You guess it extremely is. If not for faith, I in all probability would not be 0.5 as neurotic and paranoid and reclusive as i'm.
