just a thought...

so i happened to stumble upon an interesting piece of writing. this writing was housed within a body of a religious kind. at times, i enjoy reading, researching and talking about other religions. one of the primary reasons for this is not to ask myself ' what am i missing?' but rather, 'where are our similarities?'.

i stumbled upon a page that referred to the particular religion which i belong to (amongst others) as false. i looked up false: fake, bogus, sham, phony, cunterfeit, forged, artificial, fictitious, insincere. verses were quoted, explanations given and so on. i was not angered, quite the contrary, i was curious. curious and a bit saddened. and i am one hundred percent certain, that if i were to ask for reasons or explanations so i could understand the viewpoint, i would be provided with countless carefully thought out answers.

apart from all of this... one of my thoughts came back to me as minoshni. how do people who share this viewpoint (and i realise i have not elaborated on the details) live, work, engage, laugh and share with me? and yes i've had similar convos with close friends before, but now and again i can't help but do the silly thing and wonder, then am i not also fake, bogus, sham, phony, counterfeit, forged, artificial, fictitious, insincere? i wonder...
