Religion and Reality: It IS What You Believe
January 2, 2009 by Mark T. Rafter · Leave a Comment
People who believe in one particular religion (and all its ideology and dogma and baggage) are often convinced that their God is the right God, the correct God, the Highest and Best God.
And they are right and wrong at the same time. They are right for themselves because this is the reality they create; it’s what they believe more than anything else on Earth. It becomes a self fulfilling prophesy.
On the other hand, they are wrong in the broader sense of things because they cannot justly impose that reality on someone else: we have to come up with our own version of what we each individually believe. Your version/vision of Higher Power will always be more real and meaningful than when someone else is trying to shove their belief system down your throat.
Not going to happen unless you let them do it.
