I don't know what I was thinking when I voted for paranormal phenomena, because I don't believe in it. But there was a time of darkness in my life when I did: when I was a child (I think that most of our post will start with our childhood) I believed that there was ghosts, angels, demons, witchcraft and god (Ok, now I'm joining any pieces of my life, in this years I went to the church with my family, my brother listened to gothic metal, my grandparents died...). But all these things appear blurred in my memory (help me psychologists mates).
Thus, I going to tell you about my little story like a bad christian (The Christian Story of Cristian?/My name is merely because my father loved so much to his cousin named Cristian). My parents were good christians and took me to he church every saturday (because there was only one priest in the area and he can't make the ritual in all churches on sunday) but I was a very nosy boy, and I asked all the thing about the religious mass and my parents explained me what I had to do. I imitated to the other persons when they knelt and put a face of sorrow while sounded a sad music.

Later, in my adolecense, my family left to go to the church, thus I was free of the pressure of be seen like good christian. However, I still believed in god. But more and new questions made me to reflect about it. Believing in god assumes that other gods are fake divinities, as also for other people christian god is fake.
Furthermore moreover, for a healthy relationship with god, it can't be the responsible for my decisions, only for good things I don't control.
OK, this post is being so boring. Durkheim (the man who wanted to found every social sciences disciplines) helped me to ordered my ideas about it. The religious -said Durkheim- is in the morale of all the groups, even scientists community. The social is religious, the normative rules are basis of god. All the paranormal phenomena are human productions, life after death, devils (as the dark side of god), angels, witchcraft, just enough to believe to see, like says Maturana.
That's all for today, I read you!

ResponderEliminarHello Cristian, I honestly had a hard time understanding your post jajaja. I feel that since childhood we are imposed things, such as religion, I think this goes against the rights of children, but that is another issue
Regards!
Hi Macarena, I thank you for your honesty, this post was ardous for me, I had confused ideas about. On the other hand, I think that we can't scape of imposed things to the children, from our language and our manners until the religion and gender roles. It's a great subject to discuss.
EliminarCheers!
Hi Cristian, I enjoy reading your post ahaha, and I can say that in my childhood I also was a bad cristian jj
ResponderEliminarHi Fabiana, I've thought a lot about these moments which I didn't find any justification and I was lying to myself, it's weird think about it.
EliminarCheers!
