Purpose of Religion
hello,
I believe that you are right about doctors passing judgement and feeling that they have the right to. Maybe they lecture you or they do not give you the very best treatment. It is disgusting. I witnessed subtle instances like that when I worked in Gynecology ward in college.
Do to their religious believes or cultural beliefs, people make bringing a baby into the world, the most hideous, shameful crime!!
Is that what religion is for? Is that what Jesus wanted his Christian /Catholic Followers to do!! When he forgave criminals, prostitutes, greedy, and sick...etc...
Sorry to say this, but just because the Catholic or Christian faith says something is Law, does not mean that it is Jesus' teaching or intention. Many religions have been tainted by certain political figures in history, who wanted to control their people and also diminish women.
I know God hears your prayers. Don't worry about dozing off inn the midst of prayer. Many spiritual roadblocks are worked out during the sleeping hours. Your conscious is not awake, but your subconscious is still communicating to God.
The purpose of Relgion was to bring people together, to forgive one another, and renew hope so we can try again!!
Too often it is used to seperate families, start wars, condemn peoples, and gossip about your neighbor!
I believe this is not what any Great Spiritual Teacher had envisioned, be it David, Jesus, Moses, Mohammad, Buddha, Krishna etc.....
That is my opinion.
Many Blessings to you all!!!!
