RE: Religion is about control. Thinking for yourself is the only true freedom.

But God give us our body capable of critical thinking to confuse us. God doesn't want us to use our critical thinking that's exactly why he gave it to us.

Yes that is satirical. Hopefully a lot of religious people are thinking critically but I'd love them to push their critical thinking more.

If we don't know something it's more helpful and smart to say we don't know then pretending to know.

Belief is in ignorance. If you know, you know. And it is good that if you don’t know, know that you don’t know — the belief can deceive you. The belief can create an atmosphere in your mind, where, without knowing, you start thinking that you know. Belief is not trust, and the more strongly you say that you believe totally, the more you are afraid of the doubt within you. Osho
