Religions of today, my views.

WELCOME, WE BELIEVE IN GOD AND PRAY GOD, WE CAN BELIEVE AND PRAY GOD OUR OWN WAY. BUT TODAY EVERYTHING IS GOING GLOBAL, ALSO THERE ARE THINGS THAT HAPPEN THAT MAKE US WONDER WHAT TO BELIEVE. SO, WE NEED TO DESCRIBE GOD IN A WAY THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD CAN ACCEPT, MAY GOD HELP US. 

 Anyhow, in this article we want to look at today religions. You see, we use religions because we have a common interest. Life feels better when people believe in the same things, religions fulfills that role beautifully. Anyhow, in the past some religious beliefs have changed, and one day they might change again, but religions are going to survive. So, in this article of, Religions of Today, and My Views, let me say how I believe, these changes will affect our views of God and religions. 

What we are writing in this blog took place a few years ago, But today these things can still happen, so this is a reminder of what happened then. above is the map of the Sinai, the attack of the Mosque took place at Bir al-Abd, whic is near the Mediterranean Sea. 

 

Welcome to our article, Religions of Today, and My Views. 

Because of what has happened, I am asking myself, is God an illusion?

Dear readers, this happening in the blog is a few years old, but today, we still havend solved this problem, so, I am repeating this article. Anyhow, I am a believer, but I have my doubtful moments, therefore, I am asking myself, if God is an illusion that humanity has created for various reasons.

So, to explain myself, let me say what I think about religions; I believe that there are too many religions in this world, the followers of these religions they believe that their religion is the right one, therefore, the other religions must be wrong.

They never think that they are wrong, because religions can be an illusion, that we the people of this world want to believe in this God as our father, that can guide and help us if we need help. We believe that, because it makes us feel better to have a God that looks after us.

I believe that we are crazy, because we want only what is good for us, so, when there is nothing that we like, we start dreaming about something that is not there, but it would make us happy if it was there, this wish takes many forms, one of this is the wish to have a god that would look after us.

Of course, there are other things that influence us; like we want to know where we come from, why we are here on earth and other things; so, we can believe in God.

Anyhow, while I am writing this article, I am trying to believe that there is a god that looks after us, so, I don’t want to admit that God can be an illusion that we have created ourselves.

You see, I have these up and down of faith, I believe that lots of people have these up and down of faith, but we end up just the same way we were before. There are times that I cannot help thinking that I am a believer, because I have written many articles about religion and God, of course my articles talk about God the way I see God, or the way I wish God was, but nevertheless I am a believer that believes in God. But today I am so frustrated that I want to admit that God is an illusion that humanity has invented in the past, because of these needs that we feel within us.

Of course, I should say, that I wish God exists, in such a way that God can connect all existing religions together. I am saying this because of what has happened in Egypt today, the 25 of November 2017, so let me explain.

------------------------

 

The Egyptian horrible terrorist attack. 

 

While I am writing this article something horrible has happened in the Sinai Egypt, about 305 people are dead, because of these religious fanatics that respect nothing. There are no words to describe all this, we can only say that what is happening is completely insane; and in my personal views this must not happen in religious circle. Therefore, I ask myself this question, what is wrong with religions today? Because what has happened has religious links, and religions are being used to kill other people that don’t agree with their religion. 

Anyhow, let us describe what has happened, starting with a link to this horrible news, and then some comments straight from the Internet news.  

News about Terrorist Attacks  

(I quote from the news)

At least 305 people, including 27 children, have now been reported dead following an attack by Islamist extremists at the al-Rawdah mosque in Egypt on Friday. According to officials, the 25-30 militants arrived in SUVs with wielding machine guns and then positioned themselves at the Mosque's entrance before firing indiscriminately into the crowd. Authorities add that the attackers also brandished the black flag of terrorist group ISIS.. (End of quote) So, when these horrible things happen, where a group of people shout “God is Great” (=Allah is Great”) and kill other religious people, which happen to believe in the same God, or sometimes a different God, one has to consider the role of these religions. So, because of what has happened, we must ask ourselves, if there is something wrong with religions and what can be done?  Now that I have said what has happened and this is affecting my religious views, I am going back to talk about my doubts about religious beliefs. Because I start thinking that God is an illusion, since nothing seems to work peacefully.  --------------   My doubts about the role of religions.   I must say that after what has happened, we may assume that God does not exist, so, God is an invention of our human mind. Because if God existed the way that He is supposed to exist, God would not let these people use his name in vain, and kill other people that worship him, you see, it does not make sense. So, let us talk about it. Most people don’t want to know the truth, because it is not convenient to them, they like to live an illusion, because they cannot help it. Most times they accept the unreal instead of what is real, you see, we cannot distinguish one from the other, this is what is happening in religion circles. Having said all this, one should search for the truth, even when it is not easy to see the truth, as I have said just here above. My own personal views about God are that God can exist, but the descriptions of God, is not correct, therefore, they are illusions that have been written to fulfil our desires; to fix that, we should be looking for a God that can embrace the entire world, if we can find that, then, we can find peace and harmony on earth. I hope you see what I mean.  For me God is life, and existing life on earth represents God himself. So, there is no way that God would want to destroy his own life.  We will continue to discuss this issue, in our future articles. But our next article will be about Christmas. because this will make me feel that there is still hope in this world. So, see you in our next article,  May God bless us all. Christmas 2017 Has Come and Gone.  To see more click on this link,  Religions of Today, and My Views.  ----------------------------------

My religious life beliefs.

WELCOME, WE BELIEVE IN GOD AND PRAY GOD, WE CAN BELIEVE AND PRAY GOD OUR OWN WAY. BUT TODAY EVERYTHING IS GOING GLOBAL, ALSO THERE ARE THINGS THAT HAPPEN THAT MAKE US WONDER WHAT TO BELIEVE. SO, WE NEED TO DESCRIBE GOD IN A WAY THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD CAN ACCEPT, MAY GOD HELP US. 

 Anyhow, in this article we want to look at today religions. You see, we use religions because we have a common interest. Life feels better when people are friendly and believe in the same things, religions fulfills that role beautifully. Anyhow, in the past some religious beliefs have changed, and one day they might change again, but religions are going to survive. So, in this article of Religious Life Beliefs, let me say how I believe, these changes will affect our views of God and religions.   

We believe that no one has seen God, and God does not need to be like a man, so, God can be anything even the entire universe, or God can be the positive life energy within the universe, so, when we look at the universe, we might believe that we are looking at God, or part of God, since God can be the entire universe.  

Welcome to our article,  Religious Life Beliefs. 

Dear readers, today am writing my religious life beliefs about God and religions, because they have become modified from my original beliefs. You see, during our lives, things happen that forces us willingly or unwillingly to change our point of view. Now, our points of view, can be political, personal or spiritual. Anyhow, today I am going to write about religion and spiritual things, and how they fit in with our everyday life. I believe that if everyone contributes something, by writing and putting forward our personal beliefs, then, one day the world can become a better place. So, let me write something that I believe could be helpful in the future.

Anyhow, here we want to look at spiritual and religious things, and how these religious things affect our ways of living. So, let us talk about what we believe and the generations before us believed, most of us believe and have believed in God. So,  we should assume that people that believe in different religions, they believe in their God, or gods and their spiritual things. I believe that this is happening because of our inner need to believe in God.

What we have said is obvious when we look at any civilizations, they all had their own religions, sometimes like our own and sometimes completely different, but all religions work, when people believe in those beliefs. Therefore, we should assume that all religions have spiritual connection, and for this reason they cannot be false, so, there must be a way where they connect to the central spiritual God of the universe. Since we believe that God of the universe is the universal spiritual force that links everything together.  

You see, if we believe that we have a soul, then it follows that the spiritual life exists, and therefore God exists. If we believe that we don’t have a soul, we must believe that no spiritual things exist and God does not exist, which it is unacceptable to humanity, since history shows that man needs to believe in God. Now let us see how we can describe this future God of the universe.        

This photo above suggests how we may percive God in the future, you see nobody has ever seen God, so, God can look just about anything, some peole believe that God is a positive life energy within the universe, and we can attract this positive life energy to us through prayers and meditations. 

Describing God of the universe. 

To imagine and describe God of the universe is not going to be easy, because God is a spiritual entity, therefore, we cannot see God, but we can only imagine God in his spiritual capacity. Now, God has been described in many ways from many religions, but the description of God is different from one another, at the same time there are similarities. So, we should look at these similarities to describe how God can be. In fact, we may even think that God is life, therefore God is in every living think.  

Now, let us assume that we have found a way how to describe God, next step is how we can describe God that everybody can accept. It is necessary that we find a God description that everybody accepts, because that is the only way that would fulfil our human needs, you see, the reason why religions at times fight each other, it is because they are somehow different, because they see their God fulfilling a different role, so, God needs to be described in the same way. 

To tell you the truth, I have had a few discussions about this issue, the last discussion was what one Hub-Pages author and follower said. He put forward this idea that if we could use this phrase that pope Francis had said in a speech, on every page of the Bible, it would help stop the violence. Here I am going to quote this phrase; “Violence by man against man is in contradiction with any religion worth of that name” Pope Francis January 18, 2016.

I thought, that phrase can be helpful, but it might not cross the boundary of other world religions, so, I am suggesting my own phrase, which is as follow:   

The phrases we are suggesting here, can be helpful, they can also be mixed with other phrases, but for me personally, what I would like to say is this phrase, on every page of every religious book.

“There is only one God throughout the universe”

Of course, this is not enough, because it needs an explanation. So, it should be followed by a longer explanation like this, written at the beginning or at the end of every religious book, so that the people can understand what we mean by that phrase, now, let me describe this future description of God that this phrase wants to describe;

THE FUTURE POSSIBLE 'UNIVERSAL GOD' DESCRIPTION:

 

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE. AND GOD IS THE LIFE ESSENCE OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.

Everything that is living in the universe, is there because it is part of God-life-itself: So, nothing alive can exist without being part of God, just because God is life itself: Therefore, God is the life essence of the entire universe. 

No living man should or could ever pretend to kill in God’s name, because in doing so he would be killing a tiny part of life, which would be a tiny part of God himself, and therefore, he has committed a sin against God and God of the universe spiritual life force, including himself, because he has destroyed a human life.  

Now, this description of God needs explanation, which I will try to explain here-under

 

Explaining my religious views

I know that what I have said above is only my view of God, since most religions don’t see God the way I am describing Him; therefore, I may have trouble to make believe that this God can exist. But then again, God is the way we believe He is, since God may not even exist, but God exists in our minds the way we see God, which could be different, from what somebody else believes.

Well even this explanation is not right, because the reality is that we need to believe in God, even if one day God turn out to be only a spiritual life force that guides the universe, or something like that.

But, because of the violent acts of the terrorist today, we are looking for a God that can guide humanity in a more peaceful way, therefore, we would like to describe a god that can achieve that, which in a way the God we have described above, could come close to our needs, so, I should let be the way it is.

Anyhow, I am going to work on it, and see if I can find a better way. You know, as I said at the beginning of this article, our beliefs including religious beliefs become modified from out life experiences. So, even what I have written above can become modified, if one day it needs to be modified.

Now, since I believe that I have explained some religious problems, and this article is long enough, since most people prefer to read short stories. I will stop writing it, so, I will continue to write about religion in our next article, Religions of Today, and My Views.
