Welcome to our
article,
Dear readers,
this article is the continuation of our previous articles, where we have explained
in our own way, why humanity need to modify religions, so that, they can work
better in the future.
Anyhow, we have
been studying and writing religious issues; we have done that by
observing religious things, we have concluded, that man needs God and religions
to function better during his life; Now we need to learn and discuss other
things as well.
So, we are
looking at what we have achieved so far; here we have to say that we have had a
limited success, since only some of our religious articles seem popular enough
to be called a success. I believe that for people to change their point of view
about religious beliefs is not easy. So, starting form today, I am writing this
article man needs and God, but we are writing it in line with the existing
religions.
I know and you
know, that these religious issues have been there for thousands of years, and
what we are saying now has been said before, from our previous generations; but
our previous generations were talking about those religious issues that were
present at that time; today a lot of things have changed, so, we have different
issues to discuss and solve. I believe that everyone of us, has the duty to put
forward his/her own religious beliefs, on how today religious issues can be
solved.
We know that
today the entire world has problems, one of the main problems comes from
religious extremist, because their religion was set in such a way that is hard
to change anything, even knowing that the need of the people has changed, these
old religions will not allow any changes; because they believe that their religious
books is the word of God, or God inspired, so, they cannot be
changed.
But we believe
that religions, religious rules and the existence of God, has been invented by
man. You see, they came about because man needs God and religions,
that is the reason why, there are several religions in the world today; but
today the world can be served better, if there is only a single religion.
We have tried to describe how religions can be liked together, in our previous articles, but not many people have expressed their opinion on our theory. However, there are a few people that put forward their own theory, about the existence or the non-existence of God. Some people go as far as saying that God may not exist, so, it was Mother Nature that made it happen the way it is now.
So, here under
I am going to quote from Nature dunnit!!!!, what this Hub Pages Writer
A. Villarasa has posted a couple of weeks ago. A Villarasa posted and compared
several issues in his article, which are interesting to me, since I am writing
about God and religions, and this gives me an opportunity to have my say, so,
we are going to quote these issues and at the same time, we will comment in
between and express our view about what is being said.
-------------------------------------
Talks about nature and God
Nature dunnit!!!
In this
sub-article that we could call Nature and God, we are going to compare what
this hub writer A. Villarara wrote and how they compare to our own beliefs. So,
let us start with the first quote:
(Nature dunnit!!! Quote one.) The
pantheists among us believe that Nature and “God” are the same thing, thus the
natural world that we are now discerning and discovering was created by Nature
itself…a self-creating entity so to speak. This contention is supported by
naturalists who believe that “ONLY natural (as opposed to supernatural or
spiritual) laws and forces operate in the world…., and further, that natural
laws are the rules that governs the structure and the behaviour of the natural
universe, and that the changing universe is at every stage a product of these
laws.” (End of quote one)
(Our
say;) To believe about what the pantheists believe in; in our views is helpful,
because they do not eliminate God completely, but at the same time they view
their God having a less important role than the theists do. So, in a way their
views of God, in our own beliefs and understanding comes closer to us than how
the existing religions want us to believe in. You see, we believe that man needs
God, since has been so, from the very beginning.
------------------------------
(Nature dunnit!!! Quote two.) Theists on
the other hand challenge the idea that nature contains all of reality; they
view natural laws not as the primary cause of creation, but rather the laws
promulgated by a Primary creative/intelligent source, (totally unrelated to
nature., thus supernatural) to govern what the primary source has created, i.e.
Nature. (End of quote two)
(Our say;) The
theist are those people that believe in the religious beliefs that exist today;
therefore, they believe anything that is written in the Bible, if they are from
the Christian religion, or any other religious book according to what they
believe.
Our own view here is that we are moderate theists, so, we want to suggest that God may have been the primary cause of creation, but not to the extent that is written in the Bible. We believe that God is life and the positive life force energy that exists in the universe, and that God could have started life on earth with his life energies, and then let mother Nature do the rest. If we believe that both God and Mother Nature worked together, then it is easier to link everything together. Because, as we have said above, man needs God, because it has been so from the very beginning of time.
---------------------------------
(Nature dunnit!!! Quote
three;) The empiricists among us have dutifully/ serenely forwarded the concept
of the Big Bang as the initial event that led to the formation of all that is
material and physical in the universe… thus confirming the idea that the
universe had a beginning and would therefore likely have an end. If the
universe had a beginning, and Nature and its laws created and subsequently
formed the universe we now see, could we then say that Nature was there even
before the Big Bang. If so, in what form could Nature have been, before it
started to create the universe? (End of quote three)
(Our say;) In
our religious quest, we are only trying to answer the question about the
existence of God and why man needs God, by looking at what information is
available around us. Therefore, we cannot answer the question about the Big
Bang; but I want to point out from what I understand, the Big Bang that created
the solar system and our galaxy does not need to be the original Big Bang that
started everything; because it could be that in the universe there have been
several Big Bang that have involved only part of the universe.
-----------------------------------
(Nature dunnit!!! Quote four;) One very
imaginative Hubber, suggested forcefully that in his conceptualization, Nature
was a self-contained form of ENERGY, that during its expansion accumulated
enough mass that then led to the production of all material things in the universe.
Thus no need for a GOD.
If Nature did it all by its lonesome
self, why would it create sentient life (that’s you and me) when by its very
ontological composition, nature is NOT sentient? (End of quote four)
(Our say;) This
very imaginative Hubber has his own views of how everything came about, at the
very beginning of time. Perhaps some of his theory might be correct, one can
never know; but does it help us to solve the question about the existence of
God, or the need why humanity needs God? I do not think so. But it is an
interesting way to keep in mind, when we want to talk about what other people
think about God and the universe.
-------------------
(Nature Dunnit!!!, Quote five;) Alfred
Russel Walace, an avid evolutionist (and together with Charls Darwin,
co-elucidator of natural selection as it relates to the evolutionary process)
diverges from the path of total materialism and naturalism, when he concluded
that natural selection alone was insufficient to account for a set of uniquely
human characteristic, the most obvious of which is the size and complexity of
the human brain. Subsequently he proposed that some other entity had to be
involved, in order to explain the existence of a brain, that could support the
intellectual activities of humans in all cultures, time frames, environments,
and predicaments.
That other entity he proposed was a
supernatural one. (End of quote five)
(Our say;)
Alfred Russel Wallace might be right that there need to be a supernatural
entity that make life possible the way it is. We agree with his views
and believe that Mother Nature and God have worked together, since the very
beginning of time and the result of which is here today; there is life on earth
including us human that would like to know everything around us, we are very
inquisitive you know.
Anyhow, here
above we have talked about many things, some of which are about the existence
or the non-existence of God, we believe that God exists, and one of the reasons
why God exists, it is because we need God to exist.
-----------------------------------
We need God to exist
We believe that we need God to exist, because we like to have God as our spiritual father, it makes us feel better. Anyhow, we have discussed this issue and other spiritual and religious issues, that can help humanity in the future, if humanity accepts them. But because it is a new way of seeing religious issues, people are cautious to accept them.
One of the most
interesting things that we have found, while we were studying and writing
religious issues, is that we need a God to help us exist, so, we can feel that
we have a meaningful life. So, we need to write religious issues, in a way that
most people believe in already, since we want to discuss our own spiritual life
in a modern way, which would be able to links our new religious beliefs to the
old beliefs.
You see,
religious beliefs are hard to understand. Some people believe in prayers and in
the law of attraction; so, they are willing to believe that: whatever you pray
to God and ask for, you shell receive. Well something like that has even been
said from Our Lord Jesus Christ. But I believe that Our Lord meant spiritual
things and not material things.
Talking about
Our Lord Jesus Christ, he also said these following phrases:
“The Father and
me are one”
“Of myself I
can do nothing”
“It’s the
Father within that does the work”
Does this mean
that we carry within us this spiritual force that will help us do the right
thing, because he also says;
“The kingdom of
god is within”
“It is the
Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.”
As I have said
it is difficult to understand some religious issues. But it always comes down
that we feel better if we have a God and religious rules to follow, life seems easier that way.
So, we need God
to exist. Because we like to believe in God. So, from now on, when we write
religious articles, we are going to write them, in such a way that they are
linked with the old way of beliefs and the new way as well. So that,
it can help to link them together.
I believe that
I have said enough in this article, so, see you in our next article, in my religious opinion.

May God bless
us all.
