CUSTOMS from old people, old traditions.
Each culture has something specific of all these. Mostly troble we are people who in turn come from other people who managed to form us mostly as they wanted. And this is due to the fact that they were also formed by the previous generation.
And as man looks for explanations for everything he cannot explain with the means he has, that's how faith in God was born, just as traditions, customs, various rituals, holidays, etc. came to every people.
What many people do not know, is the fact that certain customs, holidays and rituals that have been passed down since prehistoric times, it is possible that at least part of them had as one of the reasons behind them, the hatred of some people or groups against others. It doesn't matter to us today if that hatred had one meaning or another, if and how it was manifested and in what form.
Of course, most of the customs and traditions that have been preserved until today in one form or another, had as their starting point the magical ritual, based entirely on the belief that "Someone" or something exists as an entity and is superior to us as a force, and maybe at a certain given moment it may manifest towards us, the people, a way of manifestation somehow similar to ours in that the said "entity" responds to good with good, and to evil with even more evil.
What is characteristic of man par excellence is such a model of behavior, because he has acquired it over the generations, and as a result of which many generations have suffered and more and more destinies have been destroyed due to man's desire to rule over the way of the other's life and actions, out of envy, hatred and the desire for revenge.
Even the word "wish",the positive message that people make and send to each other during the holidays, seems to have as its root a word that means hate or comes from a word with a similar meaning.
From this natural desire of man to recognize and adore things or "beings" that he considered above him and with superior powers, but with relatively identical manifestation, a quality appeared in the human being that clearly differentiates him from the others species and may bring him many blessings, but in the course of history it has also proved to be an inexhaustible source of battles, wars and the shedding of much human blood due to uncontrolled foolish ambition: namely, man's desire to worship unseen forces or beings - the remnant of the magical ritual.
This is how a subtle and powerful force of man's struggle against another man was born, namely religion, coming from the interpenetration of adoration and the magical act. In the magical act we are already talking about gods, demigods and descendants of the gods - guess who they were conceived with, good people! - with some women on Earth.
Were the goddesses virgins, why did they couple the gods with the earthlings in the conscious sexual desire that is characteristic only of man?
It is certain that, according to history, most of the goddesses, being despised by the human mind, who often showed a sexual desire somewhat more pronounced than in reality, in which even man was not at all bad in this regard, only the wife of the great God in mythology had the attribute of being able to get pregnant and give birth to sons and daughters to the Sovereign of the gods, while the other gods were born either from the head of Zeus or through other means, some descendants of the gods being, as I said before, born of women on Earth through sexual relations with them - more precisely I would say with a kind of humanoid representation that was believed to belong, or would have belonged to them.
As the transition from gods to an Almighty God and then to today's apostate Christianity within Christendom, the transition was made smoothly and gradually, sometimes by subtle means clearly mentioned in history, and other times the transition took place in a stormy way, through wars, rebellions and riots, which meant the shedding of much human blood in the struggle to promote stupidity instead of reason and high spiritual and moral progress, debauchery and reckless luxur.y against good sense and natural trust and rational in their own strength.
From its humble beginnings, religion has been used as a weapon of war and also as part of political power and as a symbol of political power's success. The sad part is that false religion has become involved in politics, including wars. In vain he claims that he worships God and that he would obey the Founder of true Christianity, because He said as clearly as possible: "I am not part of the world, and neither are they part of the world".
As I understood and from where I deduced that religion does not practice the truth, but the roots of some millennia-old traditions which, in the vast majority, have almost no connection with real Christianity and with God as He is described in the pages of the Bible? Simple: from a young age I learned from my parents an authentic way of behaving. There, as well as in the school in the village where I was a student, I learned that violence, injustice and lawlessness have no place in the behavior of an authentic, "humane" person. When I went to the church and saw the hypocrisy there, the greed for money, the material luxury of some churches and priests, both Orthodox and Greek and Roman Catholic, this made me ask myself some questions. For example, did Jesus Christ leave Christianity? What kind of priesthood did Jesus institute and for how long? Is it proper to use images in worship and does God approve of them as long as it is written in the Bible in big and broad letters: "Thou shalt not make a graven image!"? I saw clearly that the Church not only does not worship the true God of the Bible, but it does not even have anything to do with God and the Bible, at the time when there was the stoning between the Orthodox and Greek Catholics in Breb, in Maramureș, in the yard of the new Orthodox church in the village of Breb, in Maramureș. By chance I was at church on the day of the beating, and I heard with my own ears a deranged townsman exhorting the people from the choir during the Sunday morning service to come out all to defend the new church because the Catholics had come to occupy it . When the priest didn't say a single word even remotely resembling Christianity, but saw his job further, I was deeply moved by such gestures that lack not only Christianity, but also any ethics, and I -I swore in my heart that I would never set foot in any church. I kept that solemn promise in time.
How does noticing and understanding that religion and God are not the same thing help me evolve? I notice various things that the people and the religions that the politician invented and supports over time say and do, and the big difference between them. I realize that man does not need to depend on religion or any unseen entity formed by his mind for certain more or less obscure purposes to achieve himself in life and that the only help man can get from the universe is that which he offers himself! This gives me the strength to act responsibly, knowing for sure that no invisible being built by the mind of a man paralyzed by fear has neither the will nor the ability to put me in embarrassing situations so that I don't fulfill my goals! Invisible beings, however powerful and almighty they may be considered, exist only in the minds of those who believe in them, and are not at all capable of doing any harm, nor are they capable of doing any good!! Let's stop being unnecessarily afraid of medieval phantasmagoria!! With total confidence in our own strength we will really manage to get our religion out of our heads and set goals to achieve!
EVERYTHING depends on us in life! Every man is 100% responsible for the way he lives his life, including his own reaction to the things he comes in contact with!
If only this was taught in school every week!
