They leave Abrahamism, Abraham doesn't leave them

I know, you guys are bored. You must be thinking, "All the time this man has to talk about Abrahamic faiths and nothing else."

Sadly, they are the greatest disaster of our times, and a threat to our civilization. Had they been more inward looking and less obsessed with externalities, the world would have been a better place to live. As long as this doesn't happen, individuals like me will have to remain busy analysing and dissecting them. There are a few interesting characteristics, common to all the three Abrahamic faiths, i.e. Judaism, Christianity and Islam. We will talk about them one by one in this article, and in detail in future articles.

Let us suppose, you are looking for something that is very important to you or say your peace of mind. Let's call it an experience X. What will you do? You'll talk to the people who have been through the experience X, you'll read books about the experience X, you'll read the methods people have applied to go through the experience X and then choose the method that suits your wisdom. Obviously that doesn't mean that you'll be only seeking, seeking and seeking, certainly there is an element of belief as well, like for example you believe that X exists, and that belief is the premise of you looking for it. In this journey of looking for X, right set of people will try their best to help you out. They will guide you as per their wisdom and leave the final decision upto you, given that your intentions are pure and honest. If they have experienced it, they will be confident about their opinion but will restrain themselves from imposing this on you. But the wrong kind of people will tend to force you to take the path they think is right. They will get angry if you disagree with their opinion, they will alienate you and they will demonise you for your disagreement. To them, it really doesn't matter whether or not they have experienced what you're looking for. They have an opinion and you must conform to it. Their behaviour is effectively the manifestation of their ego. They feel very very very reluctant to admit lack of knowledge or lack of thorough understanding of whatever you are looking for and are hell bent in pushing you to agree with them. Even their intention while discussion and debates is not to churn out something useful and fruitful but to defeat you and nothing more.

This brings us to the first important Abrahamic characteristic. This experience X, which I was talking about, is divinity, or the ultimate truth or paramatma, or whichever other name one might prefer. A very high level of discomfort with ambiguity, difference of opinion and pluralistic behaviour, is an essential characteristic of Abrahamic religions. The dharmic traditions see chaos as a source of creativity and dynamism because they use the difference of opinions to try newer paths to reach and experience the divinity. They see an integrally unified coherence in the ultimate reality or say divinity. On the other hand, Abrahamic faiths see chaos as a psychological and social threat and can stoop to any level to subdue that "threat", whichever way possible, be it through persecution and killings or through subjugation and enslavement. So much so that it reflects even in their vision of "the one true God" who gets angry when you worship someone else except him (as per their own scriptures). Interestingly enough, this mindset of my way or highway never exactly leaves their hearts. It exists right there, even when they get rid of their faith. Like in communism (which originated in the same Abrahamic West), it's the same anxiety and discomfort with the difference of opinion, although there is no religion in this political ideology, they simply hate the idea of God. And they also hate the people who believe in God. Subtract God from the Abrahamic religion, add the Marxist economics and you'll get communism. Without God, Abrahamic religions are just pure authoritarianism. 

We will keep it till here for today. But this is going to be a long discussion.

We will take deep dive and find out, WHO IS THY ENEMY.
