unquestionable questions

Religion is dictatorial. Whether it be Christianity, Islamic, Jew or whatever other religion that exists. We are asked to be obedient and unquestioning. Follow rules that were set by an entity. And if rules aren’t followed we will be punished either physically or materialistically or whatever. The end result, as we are taught, will either be heaven or hell.

Buddhism (I think) calls it karma when something bad happens to us because we did something bad to other people. Is that the punishment that the entity promised to happen?

Most religions tell us to be good human beings. And how do we achieve this? First believe in the entity, second follow the rules that are set, third be obedient/respect to our parents.

This entity, God, is explained to have given us these rules to ensure our happiness on earth and the hereafter. But what if the rules that are set is whats barring us from being happy on earth but happy in the afterlife? Are we suppose to just die of unhappiness on earth in order to live happily in the hereafter?

I applaud those who do not question. I applaud those who know. I applaud because you are granted happiness on earth and also will be granted happiness in the hereafter.

Having to just do things that we don’t want to do because we have to be respectful and obedient to our parents is just something that I cannot grasp. I understand that they have sacrificed a lot for us while we grow up and that cycle will never end as we ourselves will be parents one day. But I just don’t understand why we have to do things that make us unhappy but it makes them happy. Why can’t it be a win-win situation between parents and child?

We always hear parents saying that they just want us to be happy but yet they do things or ask us to do things that are the complete opposite of the intended action.

Hey, maybe im just a self-centered selfish bitch questioning all these things but im just another kid asking questions that needs answering.
