Existential accountability

 



“The unbeliever imagines that religion pretends to offer answers, while the believer knows that the only promise it makes is to multiply questions.”

If unbelievers negate religion by no virtue of their own, then, what acts as immoral has no consequence for either the believer or the unbeliever. This is what directs us to questioning.  Unless you have a belief in religion or not, the very basis of religion is to quantify its nature and not its absolution.  Therefore, the same characteristics apply to how we act. We adopt our own thinking without any false accordance to obey things as they are.  Nature or theoretical investigations into the real working of religion, is not that we are of this world.  We are programmed to believe we are not of this world.  We are biologically wired both physically as we are mentally.  However, the rationalization of god is tied together into being something that causality is a question of.  This means that philosophically, all philosophy is - is not speculative at all.  It is an infallibility. (i.e. curiosity) Same goes in the form of religion.  We question our existence according to what is god - (but not what is in god.) Philosophy should be thought of as from the perspective if we were being questioned by god for the purpose of action.  This is infallibility as speculative as we see ourselves. (Are we inherently good or evil or 'not')?  This follows, gods nature is not centered on us.  It is in gods nature we fail to act.  And this is the snake which we took the seed from the apple.


I am a sinner.


That's all I know.


The question always begins and ends there.  If it didn't... we would never question ourselves.
