Religion causes intellectual and moral atrophy by removing reason and independent thought. It robs its followers of themselves. -Craig Smith
I am so thankful for my upbringing, however I am far more grateful for my mind and ability to think. I cannot describe the peace I feel within without religion. I am no longer living with this cognitive dissonance.
Proverbs 3:5 makes me sick!
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" -New International
"Hope in the Lord Jehovah from your whole heart and do not trust upon the wisdom of your soul." -Aramatic Bible in Plain English
"Confide in Jehovah with all they heart, and lean not unto thine own intelligence." -Darby Bible
For years I have given up my intelligence, for years I have ignored my desire to learn sciences. I was told to not question anything for god has everything under control with his timing.
The human mind is a brilliant organ and I fully intend to use it to the max and live life burden free from all the religious guilt and free from suppressing my own intelligence.
