I was strolling along the road when I went inside an independent bookshop, I saw this small book authored by Michael Rosen and Annemarie Young titled ” What is Humanism? How to live without a god? And other big questions for kids.”
Yes, a book for kids. Reading a controversial book “for kids” with an open mind in this conservative Catholic society.
To quote “Many people don’t follow a religion or believe in a god, but still lead ethical and meaningful lives. These people use reason, science and compassion to live fulfilling, moral lives…you can be a good person with morals and values without a religion.”
My thoughts: Religions say they preach LOVE, but it’s ironic how they argue that one or the other is the True Religion.
Say for example Christianity alone, we believe in Jesus, but Religion creates division.
Catholic VS Born-agains VS Iglesia Ni Cristo VS Dating Daan VS Pastor Quiboloy’s. All pray to Jesus with love, but argue and divide each other with hate. Sad reality religion creates.
Continue to believe what you believe. As they say, to each his own, respect each other and continue that faith.
