These people went to “Lourdes” at the bottom of the mountain “Pyrenees” in the hope
That the Virgin Mary heal them from cancer and heart disease.
While these people went to “Gorgen” in “Bosnia and Herzegovina”
To invite their Lord to have the opportunity to speak with one of their dead relatives
These people pray at the western wall of the old temple in Jerusalem
Leaving many gaps between the cracks of the wall to be read by God
No wonder some atheists see all religions as merely heretical (ridiculous claims)
And do not bother them saying that directly * Often there is no God, so stop worrying and enjoy your life *
But it is a false view of the concept of religion.
The teachings of religion are not what is right
But it is what most people seriously want to be
For very understandable reasons.
It is mentioned in the gospel that Christ went to the house of a man named “Garees”
Who has just died of his 12-year-old daughter
Everyone in the house weeps and cries, but Christ said quietly: It is not dead she is only asleep
You little girl, I promise you to run out.
We should not ridicule or reject the whole thing as absurd.
For in fact if your son is sick, you may end up believing in miracles
Because at the end of the day, under tremendous psychological pressure
You love your child more than your interest in the laws of physics and biology
When one of your loved ones dies, it will take a hard mind
If you want not to imagine at night – when grief overwhelms you – it’s one way or the other
Your father or your friend or your son still has them somewhere better
Perhaps they can see us as we practice our daily lives
And forgive us for what we could never – for one reason or another – tell them
And when you feel you are in a totally disrepair and all you want to do is to cry shyly
You may be longing for someone who can understand you. A wise and forgiving person,
He has sympathetic eyes that will not misunderstand you and will be patient and kind, as the mother should be
Science may deny the existence of Virgin Mary, not to mention the existence of paradise and miracles
But these beliefs should not be treated as a complete stupidity
In contrast, they are signs of tremendous psychological pressure and despair
Which we should come out of with a sense of understanding and empathy
Religious beliefs, of course, logically wrong
But it stems from our sense of vulnerability and weakness and therefore must be sympathized with
Scientifically atheists are right, but there is no justification for anger over irrational religions
We must understand religions and appreciate the power of feeling the need to lead one another to faith in religions
Because sometimes reality is unbearably painful.
