It is inevitable that here will be inter-religion comparisons.
In a secular country like SG, we are fortunate to be exposed to
different religions and philosophies, so each individual has a
choice (theorectically!!!!). In truth, there is always the subtle
pressure, some no choice, some wants to go to heaven, some fear
offending gods, and so forth.
Without knowing other religions, we are not in any better position
to decide which faith to adopt. Most people wouldn't be bothered or
take the trouble to find out or want to learn. Just go for the
promises, never dare to ask questions, believe blindly. Ignorance
and fear gripe these people. Even if for instance, they are
Christians, when they found later that Christianity is not what
they could believe, yet they don't have the courage to stand up and
make a change. Same go for other religions too. Some even
considered it a sin or apostasy to change faith. That is tyranny
and persecution but how many would stand up and say so?
The best is to be a FREE-THINKER. Free to accept or reject. No
particular faith to stuck to and hold on to blindly and
assiduously. There is no proof or dis-proof about a 'supernatural'
unseen being - whatever it is call!
Every religion has moral teachings that closely parallels the
thoughts of philosophers past and present, including my
great-granny. Accept the good and meaningful, reject the bad and
nonsense.
Religion is like a package - comes with good, bad, ridicularities,
customs, supersititions, prejudice, irrelevance, spiritualism,
sense and nonsense. It would take a genius to sort these out. Ever
wonder why geniuses are free-thinkers?
