What are belief systems?

A belief system is a way of thinking that we have either created in our minds or have been taught through an event in our life that can either help construct our very existence or it can alter our complete identity. So many belief systems often go unnoticed because we just do not take into consideration of what we are speaking into our life or onto someone elses life. Common phrases are often the profound statements of a belief system. In every belief system there is an element of truth somewhere but any belief taken to extreme is unhealthy because we can obess over that belief to the point that we open the door to the sin of idolatry because we have then brought this belief to a place where we worship it. We allow to define us, in every aspect of our life because it is familiar and is a way for us to attempt to gain control and lead without the guidance of God. The transformation takes place at that point where we take an ounce of truth mold it into our God and live the rest of our life living a lie. This is also where we give birth to religion.
