Religion is from fear

Watched a christian film recently thru a christian fellowship lunch......Its jus another example of fear at work.....and in fact the religious figures that's approving this film knows that they are using fear.

Fear of insecurity, diseases, death and sufferings. There's no mistake tat pple turn into religion naturally due to fear. In fact if thats the way pple feels, then their methods are jus perfectly fine. But that kind of remedy doesn't fits me i guess. Its jus like eating panadol. It doesn't cure u. It jus minimise the pain.

To recover from the ailments, you must be aware how does the pain come from. If you can't built a better immune system yourself and jus rely on external drugs, the drug will kill you. How does this relates?? One must recognise and accept that fears is normal due to desires. Since its very hard to dump all the fears, sufferings are there to stay.

Rather than sourcing for external help, seeking refuge and working to get the favour of a more powerful being, why not grow the wisdom that relief oneself from sufferings. If the promise of a better after life is to be in the eye of tat being, isn't that what we hate to do in our present life.

War and suffering comes from power. Power comes from likes and dislike. Like and dislike rose from differences. Any idea that will cause differences in treatment, disparity in classes and element of power, wars and struggles sets in. If moarchy and anarchy system is so good and an idea of kingdom is lasting, why not adopting it now.

Worst outcome is to settle in "another place" and still find sufferings around.
