Nadiaismus, Chapter I: God and humans

As promised, I'm posting something about ''Nadiaismus''.. The thing is: This is just Chapter I as I noticed that I can't sum up my whole worldview in one post (would be like ∞). For the ones who don't really know me and are surprised by the terms ''Nadiaismus'' and ''worldview'', don't worry.. I'm not planning to take over the world nor to turn into some megalomaniac.. It's just that during the last years I often had these theories (which are actually based on my religion :) ) and my classmates started calling them ''nadiaistic''.. After a while the term ''Nadiaismus'' was created.. That's all!
So, you will notice that it is not quite new but only showing the important things in life from my point of view.

Chapter I: God & humans

The human being is created by God. Once one is really convinced of this idea one will notice that it is not him who decides and puts the rules but his only task is to follow the certain rules made by God. There is not much space for the question ''What's wrong and what's right?'' because for that we have our religion.
This is closing the door to the question ''What's wrong and what's right?'' but at the same time it opens another one ''What's good and what's better''. Now the human being has to think, analyse and chose which path to go while knowing that both are right but on different levels.

Which 'rule' makes sense and which one doesn't ? Can we still use these rules like they were used centuries ago ? Didn't mankind develope and change? What about the evolution theories? You have biological proof here, how do you prove that god is the one who created 'adam and eve' if they ever existed? Questions, questions, questions ... I admire your thoughts but you are just too naiv.. :P

''Can we still use these rules like they were used centuries ago?''
A religion is not made for a certain group of people living in a certain century. It should be made for all eternity.

''Didn't mankind develope and change?''
That's exactly the problem: We humans change which means we make mistakes which can last for centuries till they are regarded as mistakes. Not reliable!

''What about the evolution theories?''
Rubbish. And if you started doubting the existence of God then you may doubt everything. Maybe your whole life is just some dream? Maybe nothing is real? Maybe we are just living like the animals with no destiny nor purpose? Maybe, maybe, maybe...

I admire you anti-thoughts but you are just too suspicious!

hi
"my classmates"??..u ddn mention that I invented the name and that it was my idea of u posting about it..copy right..:( (jst kddn)
anyways..I think you mixed the two terms:school and religion.Whereas school (at least ours) tells you to learn things by heart and obey the orders,religion respects u and respects the fact that u're a human being with reason.Therefore religion has to make sense.We have to look for the sense beyond our religion and not just obey the orders!!Because if we're convinced of what we're doing,we will believe in it more and more.
Congratulations for Nadiaismus(part 1),waiting for part 2;)

Honestly I was afraid to mention names because I didn't know how you would react..
Anyway, our school teaches us to obey the rules of our religion? Are you kidding me? These people don't have anything better to do than to throw us all the time! Either we get teachers who tell us pure rubbish about our religion or we get some who are trying to make us doubtful about it.
And if you haven't noticed, I said ''Once one is really convinced of this idea''.. That means that conviction does play an important role in the whole belief..
But there's one problem: For example, when you're 16 years old, you will not be able to judge things properly which may lead to lots of mistakes. If you stick to the rules of your religion at that time (even if you're not convinced) this will save yourself the trouble and later, when you get a bit more mature you will understand the sense of this rule.

No,I'm not kidding you.I said school teaches us to learn "things" by heart (one of these things is religion), actually, to be honest it depends on the teacher.
I don't agree with you in the part of mature,because you have to find out a way or the other to convince children (immature ppl) of what they're doing (of their religion most important).Because the worst thing to do for an immature person is to tell him "you'll be convinced later when you grow up".You have to let him have faith in himself and let him explore (accompanied by u) the sense of his religion.
will talk to u l8er abt it..c u

I guess there's a difference between learning formulas and biological terms by heart and learning the rules of your religions by heart.. A BIG DIFFERENCE!! But to discuss that now would be kind of ''am Thema vorbei'' because this chapter is about God and humans. There will still be another chapter about religions itself isA.
By the way, may I announce something:
''Special thanks to Nada who motivated me to write something about Nadiaismus!''
(About the term ''nadiaistic'', honestly, you weren't the first one who invented it, Shahira called me that too when we were talking once;))
