Religion, my take on it

What kind of society do we live in? We are supposed to be social folks who get along with each other and in some cases depend on each other, yet we are constantly arguing about the most inane thing. Look at the mosque situation in New York City. Some Muslims want to build a mosque near ground zero in the 9/11 attack, and some Christian conservatives think this is a horrible idea. One person, Sean Hannity, says the muslims will be spreading Sharia, a form of Islam, in our country. That is patently stupid argument as no Christian or Jew or anyone other than a Muslim will ever subscribe to Sharia. Islam is no threat to Christianity or Judaism or any other religion.

We have to realize that all of us, whether we are Christian or Muslim or Jewish or Buddhist or Hindu or anything else, we all believe in the same God. He may have different names and we may interpret His teachings differently, but it is the same entity. God didn't create us in His image, we created Him in ours and we modeled Him so He would fit our particular denomination.
We don't even know if God is a He. God is probably a She, or at least should be, if She/He has to be anything. Our different religions created different punishments for "evil" doers. Hell is an invention of organized religion and is not real. I can't imagine any ever strong God needing to create a satan. Satan was also created in our image and he represents the worst in us. The Bible originally taught reincarnation, which is a fact in my opinion, but it was taken out when they created the devil. How can you reincarnate if you are going to hell forever?

We are all equal, every living thing and we all share the Soul of God. The Soul is a shroud that enshrines the entire universe (universes if there are more than one) and every living thing is enshrined. Once we accept the fact that we are all the same with some minor belief differences, we will all get along. I doubt if that will happen anytime soon as many religious leaders want to be the only connection to God and will deny everyone else.

God is letting us make fools of ourselves because He/She knows that we will eventually know the truth. Someday their will be mosques, churches, synagogues and other places of worship right next to each other and everyone will greet each other in a civil way.

God Bless the World and EVERYONE and EVERY LIVING SOUL in it.

  1. I couldn't agree more on anything. Anything, related to God can never be violent or harmful to others than how come we fight and kill in the name of religion and God.
