why do we believe?
by a. believer 

alternative title: why???!

 
why do we believe?
because we saw it, live?
because what we were told?
because it’s on at 5?
because (that if we don’t) somebody will do us some harm?
why do we believe?
 
(it’s no cause for alarm)

have we ever (really) asked ourselves why we believe what we believe?

land of make/believe [i]
by notta b. e. liever

land of make/believe (the stoic lessons that we teach)
land of make/believe (the stark conclusions that we reach)
land of make/believe (when man’s beliefs don’t even rhyme)
land of make/believe (when they can’t stand the test of time)

·       everything is questionable.
·       our own beliefs, however, need to be placed at the top of the list.
 
of course, the bullet points (above) are just another man-made belief.

* query

1. if one is not allowed to question one's organization (or elders) about organizational practices or rules, then one belongs to a cult.  it would be impossible to have a rational conversation with such a person.

2. if you won't question your own beliefs about your organization, and if you promote the organization's beliefs, then you have become the cult.*  in fact, you are the problem.

3. if you don't believe the bulls---, but you promote the lie anyway (for the big paycheck), you are just fauxy-foxy-news.

____________________

* an example would be akin to a mormon wife, promoting the benefits of polygamy (for men only). 

* if an individual can (in any way or form) justify that his/her holy leader murdered children and unborn babies... then that individual is beyond culted.  it's disgusting.
