RE: Sharing My Beliefs + An Invitation to Share Your Own
Now that's a beautiful post! I think that you did a wonderful job. Above all things that I take from here I would like to say that I value your ability to be open-minded. As far as my religious beliefs, as you may have already known if you read my replies to you I do not like religions very much. I believe that we have a creator and that he is the same as love. I believe he created us all with his love with the intent for us to share our love with everybody else. I believe that are horrible Fallen world that we live in has caused us to have a severe disconnect with the ability for us to allow love to flow from our creator to all of humanity. I believe that there are huge negative forces at work in our world. I believe that they control the media, so that evil can lie to us and cause us to live in fear and coerce us into certain belief systems. I believe that they control the government, as a means of controlling us. And yes I even believe that they control every religion in the world. For me to think that the god of the Christian religion who calls for the killing of entire races of people, the killing of children women and babies, and so on is the one true God? Or that a Muslim or Islam religion that teaches that people have to convert or die is the one true God? Or truthfully, any religion that says that the words that are in THEIR book are the words of God himself or the only words that you should follow. I don't even like the word God personally, it's literally the word dog spelled backwards. It is why I refer to him as our creator. I am not saying that any of the books that are followed by the world religions are completely wrong. But I have a hard time believing that any one of them in particular is 100% right. We are all human and we were all faulted. And it has been that way throughout all of history. Every book in this world has either been written or revised by human at some point.
So, I feel if we have no book that we can rely on to speak to our creator our best solution is to speak to him ourselves. To me, he is the voice inside of my head that tells me what is the difference between wrong and right. I am able to talk to him with no need have a pastor or priest or a rabbi as I stand in between person. I do not seek the approval of people because they are just as flawed as I am. I seek the approval of my creator only. I love all of the people of the world regardless of what their beliefs are. And I am thankful and grateful for every single one who has found their path to our creator regardless of their belief system. I love the Jews the Muslims the Islam's the Christians the Buddhist, every single one. And the one thing that ties every every one of these religions together, the one similarity that each religions God teaches is LOVE.
SO I WORSHIP OUR CREATOR WHO IS LOVE AND WHO GIVES LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY. AND I DO MY BEST TO ALLOW THIS LOVE TO FLOW THROUGH ME AND TO THE REST OF THE WORLD. TO ALL OF HIS CHILDREN, REGARDLESS OF WHO THEY ARE WHAT THEY BELIEVE OR IF THEY HAVE EVER WRONGED ME.
I sincerely hope that I have not offended anybody here for that was not my intent. If I have upset anyone, please stop by my place and we'll talk.
