Welcome to our article,
Dear readers, in this article, let me tell you about my imaginary spiritual world of the universe,
where we will talk about God and our spiritual religious needs, in the
hope that we come close to the truth, of how God and the spiritual world exist,
while we are talking about our world religious needs.
We believe that God and religions are a must have for humanity. So, before
we say anything else, we want people to continue to believe and pray, in the
same way as they have done during their lives, because that is the best way to
be in touch with the spiritual world. Anyhow, religions are a way of life that
brings the community together. Religions beside believing in God, they are a
set of rules that helps people to live a meaningful life, and when we believe
in the same things that follows the same rules, it is easy to talk about it to
other people and be friend.
Most religion fulfil this role very well; but there are times when
religions become extreme, one of the most extreme cases, is when people die
because of these extreme religious beliefs. If we follow the history of
mankind, there are many cases of religious extremism that have happened in the
past, and many people have died; today most religions have become more moderate,
so, people don’t die for their religious beliefs; except the Muslim religion that
keeps believing in the same way for the last fifteen centuries, like when their
religion was created. We believe that also this religion needs to be modified,
when the religious followers are ready to accept religious changes.
Anyhow, we cannot suggest anything to these people, without the fear of
being persecuted, but we can write an idealistic religion for the entire world,
hoping that one day, they see the need to join us, then, they will modify their
religion themselves, so that they fall in line with our future religions. So,
let us discuss our future religious needs first.
---------------------------------------
Discussions about our future religions.
Anyhow, these
discussions are philosophic discussions about God existence. You see, there is
a possibility that God may not exist; if that is correct, then God is an
invention of our human mind; because man needs God to explain our own existence,
and other things as well.
Anyhow, for God being like an old wise man, as most of us would like to
believe today, the possibility is almost nil; but the spiritual forces of God
of the universe, can make us believe that God is an old wise man. So, God may
exist, or exists in another form, because the spiritual forces of the universe
and Mother Nature can be called God.
We believe that even if there are doubts in our mind, about the real
existence of God as we know it, we must believe in God, because even the
beliefs themselves are helpful to humanity. Therefore, we must ask ourselves,
which religion has the best God description that we could use in the future,
and if there isn’t one, then we must think, how we can describe a new God in
the future.
We must also think that for religions to be
accepted from humanity, they must be constructed in a way that they will give
the religious believers something in return, if they behave according to the
rules that the religion provides. To do that, we must believe that we have a
soul, and that we can benefit from these religious rules, here on earth while
we are living and also in the afterlife, because our souls can be immortal, if
we behave the right way. But at the same time, we should not give too much
importance to the soul benefits, because they might not be there, and we can
sacrifice ourselves and gain nothing.
So, what is left to discuss now is, how we can
describe a Super God that can connect all existing religions, in a way that
humanity can accept now and for the future, so that all existing religions can
be connected to this Super God, and also all spiritual entities can connect to
it, and by doing so, one day the world religions can become a single religion,
and religious wars can be avoided. If this can be done, a new religious system
will be formed. But let us see, if we can choose, or modify one of the existing
religions to fulfill this role; which is doubtful, because if they were good enough,
we would have known. Now let us look at the present religions.
Our beliefs and the present religions.
We believe in God, but then we ask ourselves
that God may not exist. According to Sigmund Freud, God is an illusion, based
on the infantile need for a powerful father figure. Religions are necessary to
help us restrain violent impulses. If that is so, then religions one day will
not be needed, or a religion with less restrains is needed.
Freud and religion , The Future of an Illusion,
For what I can understand, Sigmund Freud
believes that God does not exist, but then later he somehow says that believing
in God can be helpful to people. Now let us look at what some other people
think about religions, and which religion is the best to choose. But there is
not much to choose from, because most of them fail to perform, to the standard
that we want future religions to be like.
So, let us see what people think religions must
be like, and what God must be like, to fulfill what we want from God and religions,
in the future.
Today because the entire world is going global, we need a religion that
reflects that. So, we must avoid the old religions that aim for isolation, we
need a God that sees all existing people as being equal, irrespective of any
race colour or religious beliefs.
Most people believe that in the future, we need a benevolent God heading
all religions; but God and the existing religions, are not made to have a
benevolent God, they have been made to have a powerful God, so, most present
religions will fail the test, so, let us see:
The old Jewish religions in the Bible fail the test, of being a
benevolent God, because Yahweh sides with the Israelites, and order the killing
of people many times. You see, the Jews to repossess their Promised Land had to
kill the people that were living there.
The Indus religions fail the test, because one of their God’s tells this
follower to kill his family and follow him. I don’t know if it was Lord Krishna
or another God. Anyhow, they fail the test for this reason.
The Buddhists religion fail the test, because they believe in
reincarnation, but they don’t believe that they have a soul, that can benefit
after they die. So, there is not enough incentive to behave and save themselves
in the afterlife.
The Christian religions fail the test, because they fought in the
crusader, where many people died, and they had the Inquisition, where people
were burned alive.
The Muslim religions fail the test, because Muhammad and his followers
pray to their God Allah, to help them make wars and kill people and win the war.
So, their God is too far away from the God we need today.
So, all the main religious Gods fail to do what we need them to do, to
choose them as our God of the future. Therefore, we must describe a new God,
that can fulfill most if not all what we require from God in the future.
---------------------------------
The God we need in the future.
In the future we need a Super God that can link all existing religions,
because the world is going global; and for this reason, religions need to go global
too.
To achieve that is not easy, because we need at least to modify
religions, in a way that they can be linked together; if that is not possible,
then we must think how to describe God for a future religion that can achieve
that.
Since we have accepted that we need God and a religious order, we have
two choice of how God can be described, in the future: First choice, God is the
entire universe, so, God does not need to create the universe, because God is
the universe, but this is not the God that we want or need. Second choice, God
is the entire spiritual force of the universe and guides all spiritual and
living things in the universe; so, this God is much closer to the religious
system that we have now, therefore, this type of God can connect all existing
religions together.
Having said that, now I can say that we are writing a theory,
called Reconciliation of the universe in Hub Page, which is several articles
long; this is one of the articles, God of the Universe description, anyhow, we are trying to shorten our
religious theory to make it easier for our readers.
Anyhow, today I can see signs that religious leaders, are considering some minor changes. So, I ask myself, if that is true, or it is my imagination that wants to see this happening; I hope it is true. Now, I believe that this article is already too long, so, I better stop witting, see you next time, where we are going to look at some religions in,
Religious Thoughts, The New System Has Begun.
