Definition of Faith / Religion
- By Bahram Maskanian
During humanity’s 12,000 years of city-dwelling, or civilization for the first 9,000 years humanity reached an amazing level of scientific, social and enlightening point before the creation of Faith, Religion, or Spirituality, while searching to learn and understand life, who we are and where we come from.
To have faith, or believe in any form of religion is to have confident belief in an unquestioned and unexamined set of mythological patriarchal rules, ideals, doctrines and blindly trust a mythical, racist, sexist, misogynist, genocidal, murderous, slave trading and war mongering, madman made religions.
To believe in what does not rest on reason, common sense, logical proof, or material evidence. - A mental act, condition, or habit of placing trust and confidence in superstition preached by self-serving criminal mullahs. - To have faith / religion is to be loyal and have rational and intellectual acceptance and conviction in myths as truth, actuality, or validity of something that could have never happened.
Faith / Religion is the theological virtue defined as secure belief and allegiance with those who claim to represent a male God, a God fabricated by men, a God who has made these men his ambassadors to do whatever they wish; to start wars, plunder, murder, genocide, rob you of your dignity and money, control your life, decide what thoughts and actions are allowed, when and how you should live your life. - Faith / Religion is trusting and acceptance of a God fabricated by a few criminal patriarchal political hustlers. - A set of dogmatic myths, or beliefs, or superstitious dogma, or doctrines held as being true by a group of religious mullahs. - Faith is being sure of what we know is not true, and to be certain of the existence of what we would never know.
Before conforming to any religion; one must at least read the religious manuals of Judaism and its two derivatives: Christianity and Islam to realize the barbarity and similarity of these patriarchal, criminal and anti humanity manmade manuals of destruction and mayhem.
We, the humankind should wise up and worship Mother Nature, reason, common sense, kindness, love and humanity, not religion, barbarism, destruction and war.
-- I believe that religious duties consist of doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow creatures happy, - my own mind is my own church -- Thomas Paine - The Age of Reason (1776)
Separation of Church and State
The phrase "wall of separation between the church and the state" later refer to as “Separation of Church and State” was originally coined by America’s true hero: Thomas Paine and later adopted by other founders like Thomas Jefferson.
The religious mullahs, their goons and the religious fundamentalists, deliberately have been using the “Separation of Church and State” phrase incorrectly and symbolically for decades to promote their own criminal ideologies and manipulative social goals. The compelling fact is that “Separation of Church and State” was meant to be and is a firewall, built to protect the public from the religious mullahs, their goons and the religious fundamentalists barbarism.
Unlike the popular misconception; the “separation of church and state" phrase is not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. United States Constitution states:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
Both the free exercise clause and the establishment clause place restrictions on the religious mullahs their goons and the religious fundamentalists concerning religious barbarism interfering with government's social and public policies of the country. The implied restrictions placed on all religions to prevent religious domination and influence of any kinds.
I do believe the pursuit of truth in all aspects of life is the highest calling of humanity. The discovery of truth is our life’s authentic journey. All throughout this amazing voyage we should always remain skeptics and seekers, but never a believer, due to the simple fact that we shall never know.
