Why Religion is Sellable?

Due to lack of awareness and religious education, people are taught about God in a way, so it is easy to control and manipulate them. The teachings of God are deposited to them by religious leaders/ preachers who consciously or unconsciously teach what they believe. Healing and financial blessings are taught to be a way to judge God's love. When individuals are in pain and suffering, it is considered punishment. I see God as a behaviorist! He allows us to experience situations for our learning. God created us, therefore, we need to allow Him to help us be at peace with the situations that we are dealing.

Additionally, we need to allow God to reveal Himself to us and understand that God wants fellowship and not riches.  When you find God you are peaceful. Peace is a blessing. When we are struggling to find answers that is not peace. Do we want God or we actually want from God? God is our groom. How would you feel if your wife or child just came to you for gifts and money? Even if we are failing or dying what should matter is God/groom. Only God should matter if we believe in Him!

People are taught to find immediate satisfaction with the idea of bargaining either with healing or financial blessing i.e. give $100 to God He will give you $1000. We have created a need based world around us and we try to confine God in the same way.

Pain is a need. People are uncomfortable with pain that is why religion is sellable. We hate to sit in our pain. Pain and sensation give us perspective which only awareness and true theology can explain.
