the world plays on my mind because it is there religion plays on my mind because it is |
I was raised to believe in the Christian belief of god, and I was born to examine and question life as it relates to mine. Being an inquisitive mind I question the question of one god verses many gods. First of all what is a god, a god is an embodiment of law with power over people as a lord and judge of thous people. On this world there is many variations surrounding belief in god, I really haven’t read into any of the finer details of any and only really know a bit of Christianity. What I do know pretty dam well is humans and human nature, I have come to my personal conclusion of what I see in a world of many beliefs, the very reason there cannot be only one god, is the very reason there can only be one. As a human the most important thing to me is other humans that are not me, in other words I am an individual in a world full of individuals each living a different daily life, I have my identity they have theirs. If there was only one true path and it was consistently followed without fault there would be no variations to any event, but without a rock solid one belief in what is right or wrong that is universal, you get what we have arguments and wars over which is the more correct path. What we have in the way religious diversity is the result having great diversity in levels of personal acceptance of right or wrong, the more that people are willing to accept tolerate, and forgive, the more the story of god evolves and moves towards less sadistic punishment and more forgiveness is shown. We all live in the same calendar year, yet we all live in different times, or different Ages of humanity, the stories are all different everywhere, all people are living under a scale of what is a crime and what is an appropriate punishment. For people that where and are less excepting of change, tend to believe in gods message up until it was tried to move away from the iron fist and bring upon a greater acceptance and forgiveness, they couldn’t and can’t go against how they personally feel inside, so no real major change will be excepted. The problem I have with religions in general is that it is fully excepted that god is in heaven not on earth and although he asks you to talk to him in pair, he never talks back to any one and if someone thinks he does there mad, so for me the last update from god came some two thousand years ago, and the problems have all changed the equations are all different and the world needs guidance for the present, not out dated truths of the past, god should always evolve with the challenges of the present time. Too me there is two gods in my life, there is the one that I am and there is the one that I look up to and aspired to be more like. The god that I am is a combination of the many things that make me a complete unit of energy and self-knowledge from all factors that include thoughts and personal beliefs, and most importantly my emotional responses to things that impact on my life, the things that make me angry are the things I personally object to, the things that make me sad are the things I can’t tolerate when they happen and I am aware of them. To me emotions and emotion responses are the best way of knowing what it is that is the main driving force in the making of the mind, and self-discovery. The other side to god is the belief in some form of higher power or higher self, something to aim for but also , as it is essentially a belief in more than one self and acceptance that there will always the need for a sense of a higher power, simply put because no one man can always be the best judge, especially when it comes to the self-judgment, if you have no concept of going wrong and always look upon others with another way as being unquestionable wrong, you will never grow or see the light to another way, that may even be better suited to your own needs, it is ok to be wrong some times. |
