"Well if you believe it, you should be acting it out, right?"
The question is, why do so many people NOT believe in anything, or if they do believe, why do they act in ways that don't 'look' like the belief they claim to have?
That's why I wrote the book Believement - Breaking Through the Belief Barrier. The book focuses specifically on belief or unbelief in God. I've noticed that...
Believers in God tend to begin religious discussions with a,
“How can you not see it my way?” mindset.
Unbelievers of God tend to approach such discussions with a,
“How can you believe the way you do?” attitude.
Believement is simply a conversation between two such people. It is not designed to prove one side right or wrong, but merely to provoke conversation. Without a dialogue, there can’t be a deeper exploration of “self” in comparison to others around you. Without interaction, there can’t be a relationship at all. My hope is that Believement – Breaking Through the Barrier inspires you to ask yourself what we all have difficulty understanding of others…“What is my deepest belief – what do I live for above all else?”
If anyone is interested in discussing their Believement, or if you have observations about other people's Believement, jump into the discussion. I'll even provide segments of the book Believement to you in hopes of opening up the discussion. If you want to join in, email me at Markc91754@comcast.net or simply blog back your thoughts.
May your quest for Believement begin here! Mark A. Cornelius
