Allegedly, everyone will come to a point in life, where they realize religion is important.
Or not religion maybe. A faith is important.
To believe in something is important.
And there's only one thing that can assure you your faith is true and that doesn't leave you to doubt.
A human being.
Believe in you bizzare gods, your fetish images of a perfection, I don't take it away from you.
But god just doesn't smile at you and he doesn't tell you he cares about you.
You can say he likes you because good things happen to you. But how do you know it's not just luck?
In human eyes, you can see the truth, if it's there. It's somewhere deep. You see it in the eye of people who speak the truth. They have this strange bright blinking shiny thing in their eyes. It's a reflection of their mental state. And now matter how heartless, I don't know anyone who could speak the truth without facing an inner conflict.
Though I know how persuasive can an idea be. Even if you create that idea. If you repeat or hear repeatedly something, it just gets into your head. Soon, the concept becomes an universal truth.
In 1950's when communist took things in their hands in CZ, they kept repeating how they were building up a better world for us, and about how today is better than yesterday. People hated this bullshit. They were of course noticing how things go down the shitter.
But eventually, the resistence died down and some people even started attending celebrations of the regime by their own will.
'Twas the same "some" people, as those who know visit churches in US. I'm not judging them, ideologically I accept most of the Christian values, but I just want to say, that some people need to believe in a better good. Better, than what an ordinary mortal can give.
(We'll talk about how the idea of religion survives in the capitalism next time. That doesn't make it a less concerning matter of course, I'm just too tttt* right now).
