Beliefs are important in so far as how they shape your reality.
You can believe in something that is historically false or scientifically unproven, but because it feels true to you,
your belief will deeply impact your life.
In this sense, the power of belief is undeniable…
And thus, it is incredibly important what one believes. Not because of what happens after you die (as Christians claim for example in John 3: 16), but because of how it will shape your life here and now.
If you believe you’re going to Heaven after you die, that belief will undoubtedly give you peace of mind throughout the days of your life. That peace of mind will most likely reduce your stress, which may in turn lead to a longer, healthier life…
So you see, even if a belief is untrue… there is still value to an individual in believing it.
It comes down to this…
Are you the sort of person who will pursue truth no matter how harsh it is or detrimental to your psyche? (RED PILL)
or are you the sort of person who would rather stick with self-serving beliefs because they’re working for you? (BLUE PILL)
Neither is “right” or “wrong”…
it’s merely a choice of what kind of person you want to be
and how you want to live your life.
There’s a reason why most people choose the blue pill.
It’s easier, more comfortable, and Darwinistic in a sense…
a survival mechanism that helps finite beings deal with their inevitable deaths.
What a lovely idea…
That death has been conquered…
that you will live forever in eternal bliss in a heavenly realm
with a God that loves you, and also be reunited with your loved ones (assuming they’re not burning in hellfire for eternity in the *other place* because they believed something different than you did). Actually, is this so lovely after all?
Millions of belief systems may not ultimately be true, but…
it's understandable why people choose to believe them.
It actually makes logical sense why people would believe in unbelievable things.
As long as these self-serving beliefs help propagate the species,
people will continue to believe them.
