As a psychiatrist, I have studied how people think and how we developed beliefs about not only religion but also life. In this article I will describe the truth of religious beliefs and how hypocrisy weakens beliefs, especially where that hypocrisy is very meaningful in different situations of personal and broader situations. I say that weakening of beliefs is not a bad thing. On the contrary, without a belief there is a positive effect on people, they are based on facts, so from a more familiar viewpoint it is essential in my view as a psychiatrist.
When I was young, I had to go to Sunday school. The attendance time gradually progressed, and as the year went on, an afternoon church service was added. During my late teens, I played the organ at church, so it was afternoon and evening. Every Sunday was picked up like this. Dad is one of the observers of the church, my mother's religious faith was very strong. They seemed to be right as they were living by moral / religious norms. Later, have you noticed that Mama's belief is based on the fear of answering the truth?
So, I know and remember many scriptures, and I can sing hymns from the bottom of my heart. If I had not heard, I asked many preachers who gave the edition of the chosen religion. My family 's methodist had at least rules for Sunday - there were minor restrictions such as no knitting, no sewing, no play, not going to the picture, not cleaning the house or shoes. At a minimum these restrictions gave Mom rest, but it never made sense to me. I was not interested in my cable stitching "Good Lord" was not seen. I thought he had to do it any more.
When I was young I had plenty of time to suffer. I got sick on my severe asthmatic bed. Because there really was no cure for that year, it often took many weeks. I did not know about that, as long as I knew at that time, he never helped me and I made it much easier, so did you sew on Sunday? No, he is not worried.
But I heard a sermon at the church did not agree with many of the people's attendance at the church. Some - yes, others, no. I attended the church if I could grow old, respect my parents, leave habits, and possibly remain.
Due to our work, we will preach about love and peace, around the church, we reach the place of prayer, reaching out to the place of prayer, about a 3 year period, we preached the pastor who lived at that time With a sacred smile on it. The problem for me was that love and trust in his private life is not so honest. They did not seem to bother others while continuing Sunday's visit, but when that night I left the church, I taught what to believe, listen to hypocrisy I judged that I did not need to spend time. After that, I entered the church only when I was invited to a wedding ceremony or attended a funeral. And I participated in joy and sorrow.
A few years after my father died, after having lived with us for 6 months with severe illness, my mother decided to move closer to us forever. With the help of my husband, we have gladly watched her with love and a lot of joy for 18 years. During that year, she attended the village church every Sunday, issued a generous wave and answered the bowl he is always asking for. I attended prayer meetings and social activities. I am short of attending my church. My mother was thin and invisible barrier. Among us, my love and care did not reach me mainly mainly on Sundays. But my belief was different from her, I was not even hypocritical.
In her last 96 years, after a stroke I needed extra help - when I was also very sick. She fortunately entered a nursing home in the village, but after lunch she went back to her relatives' house until around 7 pm every day. Only one friend of her church visited her every week and brought her to her house. To other people, she did not receive a visit, including priests and assistants, she seemed to disappear completely from their screen.
After "game of influenza" game, sick, she was too weak to come to our house. So, my husband and I went there instead. On this particular day, we were at home, sitting with her, I had my mother's hand. She was too weak to speak. There was a knock on the door of her bedroom. And I insisted that a woman I have never seen before goes in. I told her my illness was too sick to see someone. She thinks that your mother wants to see me, I came from the church. I was able to see Mom recognizing either voice or name and moving smiling with her hands. So I said nothing.
I came in and pushed it between me and my mother, so I had to let go of her. Because I do not want to disturb my mother, I was quiet and left. My husband who was very angry had already left the room. The woman said, "Let the Lord's prayers be said together." I saw that Mama worked very hard and remembered the words of prayer that lived in her life. It was incredibly sad. When Mama was angry, I said nothing, stood outside the door, but I was away from the side of Mama, so I went with her. Good acts have ended.
Mommy died in ten minutes.
With all my longstanding jobs as a doctor / psychiatrist, whether I am like a church, whether to make the skills needed at such times too rude or not? I believe that because of her belief, this woman is admiring that she just came. That is the opinion of many people. It is the power of such religious beliefs.
But I will never ask her again.
My mother's funeral was many miles away as I wanted to be buried with my father. However, I did not plan or attend Mama's ceremonial ceremony. When she was alive I did not accompany the church and the same reasons were applied but I heard that the church was full and lovely tea for lover was offered. If I did, I might well tell you something that is not often told.
In the newspaper I read that the Pope visited Spain (August 2011), the entire trip is estimated to cost about 100 million euros.
I turned around the page of the newspaper and there was a big ad for funds for East Asian hunger relief. In the case of a couple of euros, children can eat food and save life.
Which way do you think God will love to spend money?
There is nothing wrong with people who have created wealth by diligence and effort. Ordinary men and women decide how they use or give their own money. It is an individual choice, and you need to stand on each decision.
However, the person who is in charge of the method & # 39; is not a church religion church in church, but a general one. In the face of the crisis that many lives are lost, do you believe that it is acceptable to spend a large amount of money on temporary and unnecessary things? This contradicts the meaning of the religious teachings I have heard so far. But there is no doubt that hundreds of thousands of people believe in some way that this person's sight will bring hope and settlement with God and others.
If it comes from religious beliefs and power, if there is more authority, the responsibilities become bigger and hypocrisy becomes more obvious. For walking failure practices, their behavior, lack of retaliation, at least there are many things written in this existence.
I have worked with so many people over the years that I was sexually abused as a child. My sympathy is a relationship with these people and my only pleasant perfectioners face suffering, they go to the next side of existence and any religious beliefs will save them It is to face the fear of not being. I do not need to learn about it yet, as if there were behaviors contrary to the value of the sermons of the church and behavior that would hurt the healthy development of the child.
The ideal on the earth is not considered to be higher than the ideal of a religious church because faith is the highest in the logical thinking of mankind.
Other people are walking the same way as me, but I do not see or feel what I see and feel. They are still attending church and if they are Catholics they will be in the queue and the public to see the pope. Many people do not agree with what I wrote.
But I also have a right to my beliefs. I am old. After rejecting religion early in life, many people go to religion in the last year.
I can say that I am not afraid of God. It is possible that only human beings hurt other people, such as physical injuries, religious teachings or doctrinal beliefs, causing fear.
I traveled my way in my life, opened my mind and had doubts, spent a lot of discipline and infinite time and got my conviction. That is, during severe trauma, the connection between conscious mind and the body collapsed. This especially happens in children who do not feel suffering physically or emotionally. I experienced a lot of physical suffering in my life, but in the past 10 years this is very heavy and miserable, after one of my lungs burst, I resuscitate and intensive care, life and death. Meanwhile, I took him to the spirit world before returning to life. I will write what you know now & # 39;
We believe in the God of love that gave us the choice of mankind, so each one of us will reap what we sow. If they die, and in that way choose their own eternal destiny.
The important thing after death is not a belief, but a lifelong behavior.
But from these several examples, the god I believe is not the same god that the Pope knows, it is not many customs, it is not the god of women I mentioned. Dog collar & # 39; My mother has not seen her mother since her dementia suddenly occurred several months ago. & Spitting distance & # 39; She deliberately interrupted my time with my mother who was obviously very weak, very frailing contrary to my request. This last few minutes my daughter had with her beloved mother was stolen to share meaningless, almost forgotten words with frail and broken heart.
God will ask her about it?
My God did not.
If God is one, is that him?
