Challenging Everyone! Belief and Non! This young man's plea for change

For a long time in my life I have looked at the concepts of religion and after 2 years of gathering and gaining new information I have finally come to understand each individual religions down to the very oddest and unheard of there is. However I will make it clear I am neither with nor am I against believing in something of having a belief system. Yet I feel its time I put my name out there in the world by attacking and challenging the basic core concepts of why people do or do not believe in something and thus I make my statement clear, my rambling have a deeper meaning which is to start a debate, and I wish those of a sound mind would depic and challenge my answer to the ever lasting question of who is right or wrong:

"I only seek word with those of an open mind, for those with their mind's eye open have the potential to gather and attain better information than to those who stay in a constant steady flow of black and white. I speak to those who keep their views of how the religious side of this world is and should be. Do you not see past your own blindness? One constantly blaming the other for failing to have 'proof' or failing to meet some requirement and thus you become confused, frustration and its a constant struggle to lay claim to whose right and wrong. I'm sure I speak truth, and I say to you to hope yo quell your hearts only if momentarily to hear an old fools ramblings, but do you know of yin and yang?

Its typically how believers and non-believers act, the majority of black and majority of white are always polar opposite and move in an harmonious flow one never overtaking the other and this will stay for an eternity to be true. However do you fail to notice in that majority of white and black there is always a small portion, the 25% that stays small and silently moving along in this flow of 'light and dark' and its never clear of their true purpose as this is to represent the embodiment of those people and the majorities unknowing acceptance to the other side yet blinded by years and years of confusions based on time that the world tries to correct by filling the gaps through ancient texts deciphered by man and passed down to others of blind faith and blind hatred, adding fire to the eternal flame I wish to clench.

In the religious aspects, every single one mind you, have something in common despite its many various forms of who believes in what. That is other than the obvious answer of "They all believe in a god or deity" would be actually much more complex and overlooked by lack of proper research. The point is, people of religious faith only become religious NOT by something that was trained for you to believed in at a young age, NOT by that of social or other effects of pressure and arguably NOT by one's own choice. They simply are religious because its a coping mechanism for the fear of the unknown aka death as we call it.

The human mind lives for making sure its body functions well and is as stable as possible for its longevity in its lifespan. When the human mind faces something unknown common effects are feeling nervous or scared as the majority of people are, and its why we have religion to quell our fears and try to answer some of most life's infuriating questions: "How did the world come to be? Who were we as people before?". Religion is the answer the mind can properly digest and make sense of because at our current level in technology, its humanly impossible to go physically see the answer for ourselves and the mind typically has a hard time figuring out what can't be figured out easily or at all for that matter.

On the flip side, those who lack in faith only do so because of multiple reasons but all of them have a common core to it as well and that being people who lack in faith of a god or deity simply rejects it because their minds have been trained to respond by not fearing the unknown and what will happen next after death and they aren't infuriated by what happened in the past or who we might have been because they have been trying their hardest to go back using what they've been given now by those left behind to try and figure out in a sense who we are in the ever changing world of today, using logical means something that makes 'proper sense' to answer the questions we all want a solid answer to. Its not that they don't care or aren't curious themselves, but they just aren't sure how to approach such a difficult and unknown problem and be able to rebuttal against believers who already found their answer through what can arguably be called questionable means.

I believe that this world and young people today will find something that will cause the biggest change in time that will change the world over but until that time will will continue to have our young outspoken yin's and yang's. To those 25% embodied individuals reading this, I do encourage you to speak out against this ever-flowing argument in time, for I am old and withering as time goes on but you have the opportunity to continue my message in hopes of changing those who are of yin and yang. And to the majority with the hearts of the 25% I urge you all to see life in both aspects and respect them as you would a mother or a father, it may seem silly to some but others have no choice because its a primal fear that cannot be easily shaken and I urge you to open up our mind's eye all of you, and see the world through a whole new lens.

One more thing to address as i'm sure most people will ask would be: "Well what is your standing? there can't be a middle ground" and i'm sure or at least I hope you will try to defend an old man like me in saying that If I were to place a name on what I feel or where I am that opposes both religious and non-religious beliefs and views the world in harmonious fashion with an answer to be told one way or another would or could possible be called "Beyond Invisible Trivial Barriers" or my teachings of BITB. I have much more to share to those willing to listen before my time on this earth ends."

Now who wants to liven up this old man's day and challenge my words with one's of your own? I invite you to speak freely and I shall answer you as soon as I can whenever I can as soon as possible. In my opinion its better to fight with words because only then can we truly understand the other's side and not be lost in our own misguidance...
