JUST A THOUGHT - OF GODS AND HUMANS : THE FAITHFUL ARE NOT WITHOUT DOUBTS, BUT..! PART. 1

'Humans having doubts about the existence of sentient god/s, and about their inherited religious beliefs, is probably something which all of us experience at points in our living. 

And yet, through fear of how it could impact, and how some the religious zealots and the fanatics would react, than from the gods, this doubt is not commonly discussed by the faithful. 

Instead, it is ignored, inspite of being a monumental and constantly growing 'white elephant.'

But what of the person who owns up to his/her doubts about god? What might some of those doubts be, and, it is, we should remember, human and reasonable to have doubts about anything and all things. 

The real issue is that of how those doubts impact on our lives and the lives of others. Whether the doubts or lack of them negatively impact on our journey through life/living.

We do not usually or often hear religious people, especially ministers, the clergy hierarchy, be they Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, et al.  

Raising doubts about their god or gods, and what they are preaching to the faithful as 'the word of god.' 

So, what does this mean; does it meant that they really do not have any doubts, or that expressing doubts are being repressed and discouraged by the Clergy?

Does it mean that the religious clergy is opposed to their faithful searching for 'other truths?' Or for 'more truths', which might help them to better understand that which they already have, or believe that they have? 

Could it be due to a fear that 'more truths', indeed, even 'the truth or ultimate truth/s', might bring about a crisis in religious dogma?  

And, indeed, might 'set the faithful free', but free from believing what they have been believing is 'the truth', but which turns out not to be so? 

Could this be another reason why the religious clergy might simply be happy enough to limit their search for 'further truths', to looking for hidden meanings, messages, codes and interpretations in and amongst their religious texts and doctrines?

Instead of subjecting them, their religious texts, doctrines and beliefs, to the objectivity of scientific scrutiny? 

Well, yes, their is little doubt, sic, that the religious establishments have a vested interest in not encouraging the faithful, especially the rank and file faithful?
