'Happiness
can only be achieved with God!'
We have
to be very careful with this type of statement, because, for Christians (I
include myself in this), God is the Truth. However, from the moment it is
stated that 'Happiness can only be achieved with God!', all other knowledge,
truths and other 'happiness' are belittled!
Christians
have this habit of saying that only those who follow Jesus/God/the Bible are
happy. Which is a LIE! In fact, it is an egocentrism based on fallacies,
tending towards religiosity and fundamentalism. 'Living with God' and/or TRYING
to 'follow the Bible' is just another way of living, it is just another way of
achieving the famous 'happiness'. To present this as the absolute truth
is to belittle all those who do not follow this 'truth'. From the moment that
it is stated that there is only this 'truth', all other human beings who think
differently are excluded. In fact, it is not possible that all human beings who
do not follow Christianity and who do not read the Bible are unhappy! Are all
Candomblé practitioners, spiritualists, Buddhists, etc. unhappy people!? I
assume not!
All ABSOLUTE TRUTH, all extremism, tends towards
corruptibility!
It is more or less similar to FUNK. MC Poze do Rodo was
released from prison and Arthur do Val (MBL) made a video talking about it. In the video, he reacted to a young
man with the famous 'Carioca rogue' manner, and Arthur do Val, in addition to
imitating the young man's way of speaking, said that he has no future and that
he has no cognitive capacity. And he also asked: “What should be done with this
guy? How does this guy help society? How is this guy productive? How is
this guy virtuous? Imagine a week with this guy. What does this guy produce in a week? Tell me.
What does this guy do with his life? What value does he add to society? Tell
me!”. Yesterday, a video came out showing this young man at CEASA carrying
weight, bags of food, and Mamãe Falei posted a video apologizing. My question
to you is: Is every community resident, with the ‘carioca mischievous way’ and
who listens to funk and trap, a criminal? Is listening to Oruam and MC Poze do
Rodo (despite being terrible influences and committing crimes by defending drug
trafficking according to Article 287 of the Penal Code) synonymous with
vagrancy? Unfortunately, we live in a society where this mentality has
been passed off as ‘truth’. But I ask you: is it true? I don’t think so!
All ABSOLUTE TRUTH, all extremism, tends towards
corruptibility!
It is with this mentality of 'Only X is true' that great
atrocities have occurred in our society, such as Nazism and the deaths of
millions of Jews, gays, etc. It is because of this mentality of 'Only X is
true!' that there are terrorist groups that kill Christians, gays, etc. for
pleasure, such as the Hamas group and the Isis group.
“The Nazis took advantage of the hopes, fears and
prejudices that already existed among the population and created scapegoats.
They used false allegations that Jews and Communists were largely responsible
for Germany's problems. This allegation, in fact, was simply part of their
anti-Semitic and racist ideology.” [Holocaust Encyclopedia Portal]
“Their spiritual leaders, from the Iranian ayatollahs to
the Saudi Grand Mufti, consider homosexuality a crime that goes against the
norms of Islam and should be severely punished.” [Portal BBC News Brasil]
So, let's be careful with these statements about
'absolute truth', because my heaven is probably the hell of many others.
Final observation:
As I always say: the Bible has a social, political,
cultural and economic context. The question will never be to rewrite it, but
rather how to use it for the present day. How to use the Bible to address
society's new agendas? How to take the Bible and dialogue with new
technologies, new knowledge and advances?
A hug
and let's question everything and everyone!
