Faquir Chand

Understand the basic idea of this video. They are once again disproving religion because according to them we make our own religion. Our religion is a reflection of who we really are. I don’t know if it was just me but I was a little disturbed by the scene when they kept showing photographs o all these religious figures and saying that they weren’t real..It just kind of got to me because it’s like they’re trying to give you the idea again that religion brainwashes you where in fact it seems like to give the idea of disproving religion seems to be brainwashing.

As far as religious aspects are concerned with gurus and such I’m not surprised that Faquir Chand did not know all the answers to everything. I found it kind of interesting how he was willing to admit it as to other people that would keep acting like they did. I mean he is just an ordinary man, no “higher power” or anything. I’m not the least bit surprised he didn’t have all the answers. I understand what he means when he says that we need something to believe in something in order to basically keep our sanity, because if no one believed in anything then what do we have to look forward to? There would be nothing to keep us in line and make us want to better ourselves. What are we living for? There has to be a purpose, explained or unexplained there is definitely a purpose to why we exist.
