Doubts are haunting me.

שו”ת › Category: moral › Doubts are haunting me.

asked 2 years ago

I see the right thing to do is to worship God. The question that comes to my mind all the time is why do I think this way and I can’t find any answer other than psychological influences such as the environment, things I’ve read, the education I received, and the question of whether all faith and commitment decisions actually amount to psychic influences or is there something beyond that? And if so, how do I distinguish between the two, and what do I answer the question of why you want to worship God? Of course, psychological influences cannot be denied.
I would appreciate an answer, thanks (:

By the way, your question doesn’t specifically concern religious belief, but rather any claim that you believe in in any field, including science and morality, and including everything. You can ask about everything, maybe it’s psychology, for example. Every argument is based on basic assumptions, and these are based on intuition. If you have an intuition of commitment to God, this is not psychology, or not necessarily psychology. I am looking for explanations for why we worship Him, but such explanations are always based on fundamental principles that themselves have no explanation. Commitment to God is such a basic principle, and there is no point in seeking an explanation for it in terms of other principles. There are no moral principles without belief in God and commitment to Him (see column 456).
