Books, books, books, facts

There’s a book I skimmed over which had the warning that it wasn’t meant for those who cannot think on their own. Now I understand why it had that warning.
It’s just contra to what most of us know and hold true.
Not that sort of contra but it challenges what some of us hold as the fundamentals of why we believe what we do believe
At the end of the day I had a deeper insight as to why people have chosen to believe what they believe and why they feel strongly about their beliefs and ours as well
I’m just trying to be rational and not call their stance nonsense
Wow! -now I write politically
As I was saying, I now understand some written works and beliefs
It’s people who’ve got nothing better to do than poison simple people’s minds with untruths based on the vast knowledge they have
We all have some general knowledge about many things
I’m being vague
This is about religion and the Bible
Due to the sparse facts we have and the stories pedalled through generations we are all open to some sort of intellectual abuse
This is my view of how it’s done
Take the generalities and patch them together
You can patch them with what you want to also be linked to the widely held beliefs
Becoz one doesn’t have the 100% facts about their general knowledge and won’t bother to find it,
It’s quite easy to come up with what you’ll call the 100% fact book they need
And VIOLA!
We’re caught up in the web of trying to understand our beliefs and we don’t have a stand
Actually we end up not able to take a stand
There are so many of these people around with the resources to make their own facts and we end up one day coming across their work
Not many are as ‘nice’ as the ones with the book I saw and will put a warning for the reader
The whole thing about books and info now becomes a sort of “caveat emptor” issue, doesn’t it?
I ought to call this post “the grass is blue”
Tell as many people as possible that the grass is blue as many times as possible and it becomes well....a fact.
