There are
many different kinds of Christianity, many different kinds of Islam,
many different kinds of Hinduism. There are many different ideas
about God: who he or she is, what he or she wants from you.
What
if God doesn't have a gender. What if you are praying to a God that
doesn't exist. What if you are praying to someone else's God. What if
you are praying to the wrong God. Catholics and Protestants have been
fighting gruesome wars over the years because of their different
beliefs. Sunni and Shia Muslims are fighting gruesome wars today.
Christians,
Muslims, Jews, Hindus, and atheists are also fighting each other because of
their different ideas about God.
What if there
is no God. What if there really is a God somewhere whom no one has discovered yet.
There are also many different kinds of
philosophies, many different kinds of meditation, many different kinds of spirituality, many different kinds of liberalism, many different kinds of socialism. There are
many different kinds of ideas and beliefs in this world. Not even the scientists are in
agreement.
How can you be so deeply convinced that your view is the right view among so many others?
What if you
are completely wrong. What if you have misunderstood everything. What if you are desperately clinging to a misconception.
