Difference Between The Thinking Pc A Religious & Non Religious
Some non-believers, when they truly understand reality, do not add any extra meaning to it. They simply accept reality as it is, without asking why it is this way. But many who call themselves non-believers actually add something very similar to what a believer dos they emotionally struggle to fully accept reality as it is. The believer finds comfort by adding the ideas of God, afterlife, justice for injustice, and rewards for suffering. This brings peace, purpose, and hope. The non-believer who cannot fully accept reality may avoid thinking about these painful facts or may unconsciously wish for some deeper meaning, even if they deny it. But if a non-believer fully accepts reality as it is, without adding any extra explanation or emotional meaning, the true nature of reality slowly starts to reveal itself. However, I must also ask mysel Is my own way of looking at reality this pure acceptance without adding any higher purpose, also just a mental construction? Am I, too, perhaps creating this mindset simply to achieve a sense of peace, by telling myself not to search for impossible answers? Could it be that both the believer and the non-believer are trying to find mental comfort, only in different ways? When humans adopt any worldview, whether belief in God or complete acceptance of a purposeless reality to what extent are they discovering the truth, and to what extent are they simply building mental frameworks to cope with existence? The line between truth and psychological comfort is often very thin.
