Think it Through

​Religious belief systems that only teach people what to think and not how to think do their constituents a disservice. If their message will not stand up to an open-minded, thinking individual, their message might have some serious flaws. Telling people what to think isn’t necessarily a mistake unless we are told that it is the absolute and only truth. If we buy into that mindset, we are giving our power to them. We are giving up our freewill and letting another think and decide what is right for us. Perhaps what is closer to the truth is that they are making decisions on our behalf based on what is right for them, not us.
