Actually that's not correct, nearly every sect of Christianity believes in a second coming of Christ at some point. |
I know, but shall they
believe what they want, and wait until all hell freezes over. You are free to believe what you want, i mean. Believing is not knowing. On every third Friday and on weekends in July I for example take the freedom to believe that the sky is green and the grass is blue.
But I could of course believe something different, too. Believing is not knowing, and indicates the absence of knowledge (for where you have knowledge you do not depend on blindly believing anything anymore. but many people deceive themselves on what they believe they know...). The act means systematically taking the unexamined and unexaminable for serious and real and true knowledge - where the truth is it is the most shallow way to experience and to live your life, that way you hinder yourself from gaining knowledge..
Don't get me started on
believing! It served nothing good to mankind. It's like driving fast on the highway with closed eyes.
Take a nicotine pill instead.
