“Whenever I see people of different religions on YouTube talk about how their religion is true and everything else is false and if you don’t follow them, you will be burnt in hell forever. This is about abrahmic religions. These things kind of depress me and make me anxious and I feel like why do they say this?”

  • That is a waste of time and indeed could be the cause of your anxiety.
  • People do all sorts of weird things. What is the point of trying to make sense of their actions? How does that help us understand the root cause of suffering? They are already on a wrong path. We already know that, so why worry about it? There is nothing to learn from their activities.
  • Even criticizing their actions is foolish. They do things because they believe in them, and there is nothing we can do about that. Such actions on our part can only lead to conflicts and losing our “peace of mind.”
