Critical Thinking_Theta_Day 5

In my recent critical thinking sessions, I explored some fundamental questions about religion, God, and the values they carry. Through these discussions, my perspective and beliefs about these topics have evolved.I came to see God as an energy beyond human form, and religion as a guide that teaches us to live ethically. Religion provides values and helps us distinguish between right and wrong. Traditions and rituals can serve as meaningful reminders, but over time, I’ve noticed how religion has often been manipulated for agendas, impacting how individuals and society function. In these sessions I also got the opportunity to ponder about the origins of religions. And why are religious beliefs followed so unquestioningly, often without understanding their original intent?This helped to view religion as a guide rather than a fixed identity. It shouldn’t be used for personal or political agendas. I believe that humanity and kindness should be our primary guiding forces, transcending any religious differences.I still wonder If more people paused to reflect on the reasons behind their beliefs, would it bring us closer? Perhaps, how to find common ground and move toward a more understanding society.These sessions helped me see that humanity and the peaceful coexistence of religions should be our primary focus. While religion can offer valuable guidance, it’s important not to follow certain practices blindly. By understanding the reasons behind our beliefs and focusing on universal values, we can foster a world where people coexist harmoniously, valuing each other as humans first.
