I have seen more abandonment of Christianity for religiosity than for atheism.
THE human being is difficult by nature and
therefore, he will always seek to be right. It is not necessary to be of a
special caste, all human beings regardless of their socio-cultural condition,
will seek domination over others. Unfortunately the church is not exempt from
living this evil, no matter the denomination, whether they are Catholic,
Orthodox or Protestant; and one of the ways to pretend to dominate is through
religiosity. And, when we speak of religiosity we are suggesting a human system
that runs parallel to God's desires and to carry out his will, but that in
reality has nothing to do with the values of the Kingdom of God. This
religious system pretends to be demanding even with God himself, putting his
laws and precepts before divine mandates. This was the great sin or error of
the Jewish people, which, pretending to be better than God himself, demanded
thousands of rituals, acts and exclusive paraphernalia without giving the rest
of the nations the opportunity to approach God in clear breach of the following
mandate: and Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of
your dawn. But how will they come to light it if we make it exclusive to a
segment of human beings?
"And he said to them in his doctrine:
Beware of scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the
squares,"
Mark 12. 38
I am not saying that I am free from
religiosity, but when I am aware that I am being religious, I repent and try to
correct that action. Being religious involves endless acts and sayings that tie
us even more to his system. For example, criticize human beings, who and
because of their living conditions lead them to live a different style from
ours. Judging people because according to our criteria they do not live the
same lifestyle as ours. Condemn the other denominations as heretics and without
even trying to inquire into their doctrines and dogmas. Consider that we have
the exclusivity of salvation as a church or that our teaching system is the
only one that serves without valuing that of others.
“And the first chairs in the synagogues, and
the first seats in the dinners; who devour widows' houses, and for pretext make
long prayers. These will receive further condemnation."
Mark 12. 39-40
Today we are the disciples who are listening to
this teaching. Today we are responsible for eliminating religiosity from our
lives. Jesus of Nazareth was highly condemned for attacking the religiosity of
the Scribes, Pharisees, and Sadducees. Jesus Christ left us as an example of
how to demonstrate God's love to all humanity without being religious, without
imposing heavy burdens, bringing freedom to all human beings. That is why he
declared: Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you
rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble in
heart; and you will find rest for your souls; For my yoke it is easy, and my
burden light.
God bless you.
