RE: Unfiltered Wisdom – God from “A” to “Z”
The idea about one God is both fragile and powerful. When I read the Quran i can see how impressed and slightly baffled Mohammed seems to be of the concept. The success of Christianity is an even more impressing. I think it is becasue one God is universalism, as the old Gods mainly were bound to places and cities. Even the Romans with their world empire was not able to use religion as a uniting political force like the Christians did. Maybe these religions were an early version of globalism :)
Yes, when one rolls existence back to the point of "first cause" it truly is baffling and inconceivable.
Another huge advantage to Christianity in ancient times was the promised bliss and salvation of the after-life it offered to the slaves and least fortunate of the free citizens.
Personally, I'm drawn to the concept of global unity based on spiritually, but the elitist corporate globalism championed today is another matter entirely -- it exploits the good intentions of well-meaning people to the detriment of 99% of the world. A concentration of wealth like the world has never seen.
Yes, I am not overly fond of the latest version ;)
The current state of the 99.9% is thanks to these monotheist middle eastern religions. Check the religion of each of those elite and I wonder what you will find... 🤔
;-) Right, lest we forget -- even the Prince of Peace drove them out of the temple
