whats so good about guiding your life by means of blind faith which proves nothing?
while it may make one feel good why live your only life as a slave to foolish ideologies?

makes for a perfect system if one doesn't question the powers that be.
we still follow this structure as employees in most companies.
you said it. its all about slavery.
its all about what the leaders want the "followers" to believe and to do
don't ask questions when we tell you to give money or do something for them (or worst of all, do something for others, but in actuality it will benefit the leaders in some way that's not seen directly)
god told us to tell you guys............... SO DO IT!
but you can't lie, kill us, or start following other leaders.
those are sins and you will be kicked out of here AND heaven.
in the past, many have been punished and killed for sinning.
faith/sin is called a hook.
A hook in rhetoric is a rhetorical device that gets the attention of the audience and makes them want to listen to the rest of the speech
addiction: to cause (someone or oneself) to become dependent
these ideas have been around for thousands of years and I'm disappointed that humans can't figure out different and better ways of working as a group.

if you feel uncomfortable of the word 'Slave' and onto yourself.
Before you fully understand what is faith, you are actually Far away from True Faith.
A true faith is equal to willingly and trust with Whole heart.
Example.
IF this faith applies to, In school, Teachers teach us if we study hard, we will earn ALOT OF $$$ and have a GREAT future! We just believe it and Fight for it, whatever it takes.
Because WE HAVE FAITH with it; We BELIEVE it.
But in the end, we become the slave of $.
As for nothingness, is to tell you, In this materialistic world, there is nothingness exist. And Believe this material come from nothing, and from something go back to nothing.
So if you learn this, and Even a word 'Slave'/'foolish' are from Nothing.
Well, you feel good, you didnt see it in 'FORM' but from your smile. It come from inside you. Inside nothingness world. YOur SOul.

'Cause if you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything!
Sorry, I had a moment.
It isn't the blind faith that is so good, what is so good is what comes from a relationship with Jesus Christ. Only when you are in one do you understand. It is like the perfect romantic love, when you are in it, it feels so right that foolish ideology slaves cease to exist.

Maybe Islam made you feel that way, but there are other faiths that give you freedom, not make you a slave. It doesn't only make you feel "good," if you are serious, it is hard work and you have to recommit yourself (using free will) every day when you get up. I'm sorry you've had such a bad experience. Try a really good Christian church some time.

Good question for the blind "faithful." Believers actually prefer to be chained and yoked to their beliefs. Easier than thinking for themselves. Sad, sad, sad.

It is not blind when the Holy Spirit guides you. When you begin to trust God, He gives His Spirit to you to counsel you. So we are not just reading a book. And for those who try to be Christian by acting 'good', that's not the right way either.
It's only by trusting God through Jesus Christ that we are Christians who are also God's people. He gives us the proof when we trust Him.
