Historical experiences of the Kingdom of God gave rise to all the scriptures in the world, but the scriptures themselves don’t account for the actual globally prevalent psychological element of faith or divinity in the human mind. Faith is a natural evolutionary trait of the human mind, selected by Mother Nature as an internal coping-mechanism.","author":"Abhijit Naskar","tags":["agnostic","atheism","belief","belief-systems","brainy","faith","faith-strength","fundamentalism","god","human-mind","kingdom-of-god","neuropsychology","neurotheology","nondual-philosophy","nonduality","oneness","psychology","psychology-of-religion","religion","religious","religious-belief","religious-diversity","religious-harmony","science-of-mind","scriptures","spirituality","theology","transcendence","words-of-wisdom"],"id":69770,"author_id":"Abhijit+Naskar"},{"text":"Whatever you believe is true is true even if it is not true.","author":"Saji Ijiyemi","tags":["belief","belief","belief-system","belief-systems","beliefs"],"id":76088,"author_id":"Saji+Ijiyemi"},{"text":"Each of your brains creates its own myth about the universe.","author":"Abhijit Naskar","tags":["belief-systems","brain","brainy","cognitive-bias","cognitive-functioning","cognitive-psychology","cognitive-science","consciousness","inspiration","inspiring","mind","myth","neuroscience","perception","perception-and-reality","perception-of-reality","universe"],"id":82965,"author_id":"Abhijit+Naskar"},{"text":"Belief is indeed psychologically important for the human mind of general population, but that belief should be nicely compatible with scientific reasoning, otherwise that belief turns into prejudice, which is never beneficial to the human life.","author":"Abhijit Naskar","tags":["belief","belief","belief-systems","free-thinking","humanity","inspirational","inspirational","inspiring","philosophy-of-religion","philosophy-of-science","reasoning","science","science-and-religion","wisdom","wise-sayings","wise-words"],"id":108417,"author_id":"Abhijit+Naskar"},{"text":"People tend to accept information that confirms their existing beliefs and feelings, and reject information that contradicts them. This is called “motivated reasoning,” and it means that providing people with corrective information often does not work and may even strengthen their original beliefs. This also means that when people receive new information, their existing beliefs and feelings may have more influence over whether they believe or reject this information than rational reasoning.","author":"Rachel Hilary Brown","tags":["belief-system","belief-systems","confirmation-bias","influence","influencing-people","motivated-reasoning","motivation"],"id":137419,"author_id":"Rachel+Hilary+Brown"},{"text":"Freedom is what's left when the belief systems deconstruct.","author":"Dana Gore","tags":["awareness","belief-systems","freedom"],"id":145964,"author_id":"Dana+Gore"},{"text":"So they trust in the deity of the Old Testament, an incontinent dotard who soiled Himself and the universe with his corruption, a low-budget divinity passing itself off as the genuine article. (Ask the Gnostics.) They trust in Jesus Christ, a historical cipher stitched together like Frankenstein's monster out of parts robbed from the graves of messiahs dead and buried - a savior on a stick. They trust in the virgin-pimping Allah and his Drum Major Mohammed, a prophet-come-lately who pioneered a new genus of humbuggery for an emerging market of believers that was not being adequately served by existing religious products. They trust in anything that authenticates their importance as persons, tribes, societies, and particularly as a species that will endure in this world and perhaps in an afterworld that may be uncertain in its reality and unclear in its layout, but which states their craving for values 'not of this earth' - that depressing, meaningless place their consciousness must sidestep every day.","author":"Thomas Ligotti","tags":["allah","belief","belief-systems","believers","deities","god","religion"],"id":149006,"author_id":"Thomas+Ligotti"},{"text":"Real religion begins where the tiny cocoons of belief systems end.","author":"Abhijit Naskar","tags":["belief","belief-systems","divine-self","faith","god","inspirational","inspirational","philosophy","religion","religion-and-philosophy","religion-spirituality","religious-beliefs","religious","religious","religious-tolerance","truth","wise"],"id":190083,"author_id":"Abhijit+Naskar"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":29,"pages":3,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
