- Go to CONFESSION OF A BLOGGER ABOUT LEARNING AND ITS FAILURE TO CHECK ABUSE
Learning about things is often equal to unlearning about life as such
I think sometimes learning takes people further away from reality, and therefore God, as they put more and more trust into their own reasoning and knowledge of things, as opposed to other modes of knowing that are more process oriented and often more direct and to the point, such as intuition and feeling. These two modes of knowing are often regarded as being inferior to logical thought patterns by those who are trapped in their own self-important thoughts and pride in intellectual ability.
Most anti religious and anti any particular manifestation of religous sensibility campaigners assume that the grounds on which the whole "western enlightenment" (supposed triumph of reason over anything else) are based are solid, but once investigated thoroughly, they are found to be pretty shaky and speculative. Their efficacy in practical technological fields are very misleading. To my mind it is a handy tool that gets mistaken for the sole bearer of truth.

God, decreed that 'Respect' should be foremost important in oder to maintain peace and quiet in any community. Faith, love, religion, and truth are never without 'respect'...otherwise it's just a ploy to hypocrisy. Great post my friend!

anyone who claims to be learned and wise - Is most likely lacking humility and grace. Thank you so much for sharing your keen insights

Afzal, like the "birds of a feather that flock together", I think it is kind of human to hang with like kind. So, it is something that one has to be taught. Some learn early that class and cast are superficial, others never accept that all are precious in God's sight.

Good post, sweetie.
Though I don't believe that learning has anything to do with faith.
One can have little to no learning and yet still have faith. Education is something you find from without and faith you find from within.
