I get that some people believe in a god. Some sort of being who created the universe. But its such a huge step to then also believe that a schizo thousands of years ago was him indeed and gave us a bunch of obtuse rules to follow that can be interpreted in many different ways, and they have been, and that your current interpretation of those rules is exactly right (even though among all religions there are many disagreements over this) and ensures you will go to some sort of different world after you die that is ideal (but this one isnt for some reason)just so far fetched. If there is a god he doesnt care about micro managing usReligion is a cope for people who are scared of death
>>18662369>I get that some people believe in a godSome of the religions you show (Buddhism, Native Spirituality, Confucianism) don’t have a god that you must absolutely believe in.>who created the universeBuddhism does not concern itself with creation, Taoism basically has a poetic verse on causality regarding creation, and Native Spirituality is a whole bag of worms on that matter. Oh, and in Hinduism, “God” does not “create” the universe in any meaning of the term, it organically emerged.>a schizo thousands of years ago was him indeedOnly Christianity, Hinduism and some tales of Shintoism and Native Spirituality believe this. >bunch of obtuse rules that can be interpreted in many different waysDoesn’t matter for Buddhism, Jainism, and Native Spirituality. The texts (if they exist) are secondary to religious practice. Judaism, on the other hand, embraces the obtuseness and adds even more opinions and commentaries on top of the rules, and even declares that to be Jewish is to argue about all that obtuseness.>and ensures that you will go to some world if you die that is idealBuddhism, Sikhism, Jainism, Taoism and Hinduism don’t really have that, unless you achieved enlightenment/liberation. Which is rare as hell and you have to literally be born for it, and even then it basically allows you to die. Otherwise, you just keep coming back to this world or a similar one, or one that might feel like heaven or hell but is temporal and finite. Native Spirituality is often concerned with causal effects in this world, the next world is beyond our grasp for the most part. Judaism does not concern with the world to come, it’s this world that matters and in the next world, at worst, you’ll have about 12 months of being in Gehinom while heavily ashamed of yourself for not practicing the Law.>if there is a godHalf the religions in your pic don’t have a god>he doesn’t careOnly Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism have the micromanaging God problem.
