in a vague attempt to return to the 'one every 2 days' rule:
the problem with religious leaders
i wanted to talk to you lot about something that has bamboozled me, perplexed me, and has followed my thoughts for at least 10.... minutes... or so.....give or take 9...
i just dont get it.....
i get the fact they are icons of a particular religion and all that jazz... i get it that they have been selected by their god, or gods..... but what i dont get...what i truly cant get my head around is...
whats the point?
i was always brought up to understand that god (in this case) was everywhere (the dirty bastard), and he was as contactable as a whore on a sex line...... never too busy, as long as you keep the faith and stay on the line long enough.
so my question, what is the point, is brought about by the fact that ANYONE can get hold of him/her/them/it....so whats the purpose of a leader, such as the pope? what possible value does he hold in religious society, appart from he was chosen by god to wear a hat that should have gone out in the charity bag......yes he leads, but why? dont people have enough self control by following the 'Almighty'?
apparently not..... they believe in some heavenly supernatural being, but put in charge someone who is all too human. what kind of person puts a human before their god?..... apparently, anyone who's catholic.....or has any kind of leader, be it parishiner, vicar, guru, iatola....et al.
question for the day
why do religious people, in your opinion do this? what do they achieve by having a 'middle-man'?
thought for the day
have you ever wondered what it would be like to go to the most wonderfull place on heaven and earth? to experience shear joy and jubilation?...... neither have i....which is why i want to go to the cadburys factory on a tour before the americans buy it :(
heads-up for the day
ino i said it was party time on friday, but unless you've been invited: if your names not down, you're not comin in..... soz for the false hope
and also its dans funeral on friday, 10:30 at st martins church......NO BLACK. red and white (for wales).
CRA BITCHEZ! :P
Middle mans give direction and encouragement, and make reaching God appear more achieveable.
ReplyDeleteI think they're redundant in religion too though. One should have a personal relationship, and with religious leaders comes power. If someone is there to direct you, it should be purely out of love for you, no strings attached, no responsibility.
yeah other people have had the same thought about the Pope. This is resulted in...protestants!!!!
ReplyDeleteyeah but even protestants have leaders...thats the point
ReplyDeletenothing is ever gonna get decided on or done if there is no form of leadership team at all. in protestant churches the role of the leadership is to basically make decisions about church life, not tell the church what to think. We have a government politically for the same reason as churches have leadership teams
