So, was he a Hero or a Traitor?

We build our reality on our beliefs.

And although we don’t admit that they are only our beliefswe do set our lives by them. They become us – our reality -and woe to anyone who tries to ridicule or challenge ourfaith.

Through the recent discovery of certain biblical-likedocuments, scholars are now toying with the understandingthat Judas was the true buddy of Jesus rather than histraitor. According to these writings, Jesus so trustedJudas that he selected him out of all the other apostles toco-ordinate the role and act as a traitor - so as to fulfilthe prophecy.

Will Judas now be declared as a saint and a martyr? Ifthese writings are accepted to be true what will happen toall Christian believers?

Here’s another example.

Millions believe that the American astronauts ascended onthe moon and returned back. At this point in time I am notopening the argument of a moon hoax but what will happen tothese millions when in the not too distant future it willbe revealed that it was all a hoax?

Both religion and science could create fanatics from theirfollowers. Belief is a very sensitive and dangerous thing.Confusion and chaos are still the price for many adifferent belief.

Both God and gravity are still a phenomenon. They are bothunproven entities and yet man hold on to what he thinksabout them as fact. As regards to gravity, man today isstill in the dark as he was when he believed that the earthwas flat. Here I ask: What if all the planets (includingour moon) have the same gravitational forces? It is quite adifferent story when a non-scientist dares to directreasoned criticism at science - the majority ofprofessional scientists immediately object. I considermyself as another Faraday.

The sad thing is that we are easily entangled intoillusions and let these same illusions direct our lives. Weshould always question certain issues that are coming fromthe so called ‘reliable’ sources (media, government andinstitutions). There may be hidden agendas behindeverything we hear or see - such as marketing issues forpurposes beyond our knowing.

To doubt and question is healthy.

It can provide you with an opportunity to explore horizonsthat previously were inaccessible due to the narrow outlookof the issue.
