More regarding living by the Scientific Method

My parents were ministers for a Mystical Christian cult that believes in Jesus, Saint Germain, reincarnation and a very early approach to Christianity the resembles the first 500 years after Christ lived before Kings and Emperors used Christianity so much to enslave the masses in body and mind as a way to bleed them dry of energy and life until they were dead, sort of as biological robots.

So, I was taught that most Early Christians also believed in Reincarnation which was made blasphemous especially by Justinian and Theodora when they imprisoned the Pope and rewrote the Bible and took out anything not useful to them controlling everyone and making them slaves.

So, there was a lot more similarity between Buddhists and Hindus and Brahmins to early Christians before emperors changed Christianity to be an enslavement rather than something spiritually liberating as Jesus intended.

However, as I grew up I sort of believed most religious people (of every religion were sort of nuts). One reason was I was taught by my father to be very logical and he started debating with me at age 8 about almost anything because he was the valedictorian of his senior class in High School. So, he wanted me to be a free thinker like he was.

And a part of being a free thinker is to "Question everything".

So, though Faith was important to him, equally important was living by the scientific method of a Free Thinker. In other words you don't just accept anything because someone tells you something is true. That's how many people die or go insane unnecessarily around the world.

It doesn't really matter how sincere the person telling you this is or anything, because despite their sincerity they could be wrong. Sincerity does not mean truth it only means sincerity which is different.

If someone sincerely believes you should go jump off a cliff onto some rocks and even says "Here. follow me" and jumps, do you jump and wind up bloody on the rocks below?"

I think not.

So, the whole point of being a free thinking questioning everything kind of person is you know you might want to get married and have kids so you really don't want to do something stupid that kills you or them before or after you get married.

So, it is not only for yourself that you question everything until you get useful answers, it is for everyone you meet including your children and grandchildren. Whether they live or die might depend upon your good judgement at every single point in your and their lives ongoing for generations.

My generation born in the 1940s and 1950s was known for questioning everything including spirituality, religion, philosophy, politics and everything else including marriage. This was the basis of the Social World Wide revolution of the 1960s and 1970s.
