A deeper understanding of religion.

[Majed]

‎Religion is mythology, where when taken literally hold wisdom, if lived in accordance with it.
‎I am not just saying it's mythology therefore it isn't literally true. I am saying there's no difference between what's mythological and what's literally true. This is how deep this gets.
‎Atheists are wrong in that the Quran or the bible aren't just books. They are the books which shape perception according to which environment and culture you grew up in. Literally you see the table because of the bible. This is how deep this gets. If there weren't the bible you wouldn't see the table, you would see something totally different. Which is why religious people seem crazy to atheists when they talk about God, angels, demons, prophets, miracles... Those are the patterns of collective perception within a given culture.
‎Science is also a mythological story within a certain culture. Atheism and the enlightenment emerged because of the bible. Because the bible had such an emphasis on speaking the truth and valuing the truth, which facilitated the development of the scientific method and reasoning.
‎Science is also a mythological story that shapes perception, that has replaced or supplemented christianity.
‎In a sense the bible is more alive and important than human lives, because in it contains the lives of all the people who identify with it: christians.
‎That's why people kill over these doctrines.
‎The bible is a history book, it is more accrurate for christians than a scientific history book, because it contains the minds and lives of billions of people which are christian. That why it is called the word of God, and that why it is sacred.
