For many years the believe in Christianity has spread all over the world. People have the belief and faith that God exist, a God that created a world out of nothing, who is all powerful, all knowing, and perfectly good. Christians claim that the son of God name Jesus (the messiah) came to earth and died in the cross for all of the human’s sins. Christianity has caused many killings and conflicts throughout history. Forcing people into believing in their religion and having influence on thousands of lives. As years came to past many have not question themselves about their religion and just follow it, like puppets. They grew a habit of just simply accepting what they were shown and taught. To them this is the only reality they know.
Hundreds and thousands of people go to church and pray to their divine God and are thankful because their Jesus gave his life for their sins. This is their cave, Christianity is an illusion made by humans imagination. We cannot know for certain if there was a Jesus or even if a God exists. All you can ever have is faith and faith means not wanting to know what is true. To me it has become clearly that the deepest sin of the human mind is to believe in things without evidence. People have got so used to living a life of illusion and dreams created by others. They are so blind to all else around them and whenever you try to enlighten them, they are frightened and get angry because they belief that we who have already seen the light and been out of the cave are crazy.
Plato mention that once we have seen the light and have left the cave, we will be enlighten and see the truth. We will feel pity for those who are still in the cave and don’t know any better. Not only will we be happy that we see the light instead of darkness but we will try to eagerly teach others and show them the path. As Plato once said “the true Philosopher would seek to escape this cave and make others aware of it”. As much as I try as the Philosopher I have become to enlighten others, it seems hopeless. I have learned that truth cannot be told but can only be experienced. As much as I dislike Christianity and have the belief that it’s full of shit, I cannot know for certain if it truly is false. As Socrates (very well-known Philosopher) long ago said ‘the only thing we know is we don’t really know”. To say that Christianity is the right religion to follow one must first have had a Philosophical encounter and study all types of religion and examine what seems more reasonable. If one does not live an examined life, you will always remain a follower and all your beliefs will be only influences by other people. One must follow the path of a Philosopher and study it all to build well constructed beliefs.
