About the existing religions

There are many religions in the world of today. They also create many religious problems. So, we are looking for ways that would help us eliminate these religious problems that exist in the world today, we hope it is possible to achieve that, if we are able to modify some of the religions somehow, and that is what we are trying to do here.

About the existing religions
What about the existing religions?
Dear readers, this post is the continuation of our
last post, God at least exists by definition, where we have reached the point
of accepting those definitions. So, now that we have accepted that God exists
at least by definition, and that God is life, just the way we know life is, and
it cannot be any other way. If we have accepted that definition, then one may
start thinking and asking these questions; what about the existing gods and
religions? Are all these existing religions that we have today all lies you
would like to ask? The answer to that is; No they are not lies at all, as there
is a fair amount of truth about them. The truth may well be that in the past
whenever some unexplainable event took place that could prove that it was a god
sent event, people took notice of that event, but then slowly became distorted
and exaggerated.
For instance; Yahweh God of the Israelite appeared
to Moses on Mount Sinai as a burning shrub and said to Moses that He was
(Yahweh) God. We have to believe that this is all true and perhaps some of the
other events after that were also true; but then a lot of things became
exaggerated as the time went by and every writer that wrote or re-wrote this
event said what he thought was right; you see those writers that wrote those
events could only express those events, as good as their knowledge was then,
and perhaps they had to make it as simple as they could, so that the people of
those times would understand what they were talking about, they had also to
write those events in such a way that they could be able to control the people,
since religions are very good at doing that.
Of course we have also to admit that the leaders of
those time used any means available to them to control their people, therefore
they saw that religions could be used to control their people and so they did.
So the writers of those times had to design their religious writings in such a
way that the people could be controlled, they had to do that because that was
the easiest way to control the people then, you see people then were more
violet then today, they had to be strong and aggressive because that was the
only way for them to survive, what else could they do? So religions were
helpful and were the best non-violent means to control people. Therefore, we
may conclude that any religious event slowly became distorted with the passing
of time, because of the need to control the people they served. I hope that you
see what we mean one way or another.
So, what can we do today to set the record
straight, and to set it in a way that would agree to the present religious
needs of the people, you may ask? But there is no much we can do; perhaps we
can modify our existing religious beliefs in such a way that we can still use
them as they are, and then, we should slowly and in several stages introduce
the new way of religious thinking.
There are reasons to believe that today we have
reached the age of reason, well at least part of us have reached that age of
reason; we are saying this because, as we can see from what is happening in the
world not all of us have reached it, since there are some religions that oppose
progress and they seem to have stopped evolving and believe in their religions
as they did in the dark age over a thousand years ago; we believe that also
these religions need to change, and we believe that they will change, but it
might take a longer time for them to change.
Now, let us explain; when we talk about the age of
reason in this article, we want to say that we have evolved to a high level of consciousness and therefore we are ready to use our logic
reasoning to a greater degree that we have done in the past; because of this
logic reasoning everything that does not stand to our logic reasoning will be
rejected, therefore there are some existing religions that need to be modified,
this is according to what we have already said in the article, Religious
Reconciliation Forum, here is the link to check it out; Religious reconciliation forum, 2, Having explained our own views above, now let us write what we found on
the Internet:
Again, how can we prove that God
exists?
Now, let me go back to what I found on the
Internet, and then I will write our own theory.
Just to show you an example, hereunder is what T.
Latham at hub pages says in answer to one of my questions about the existence
of God; my questions in hub pages were: How do you know that God exists? The
atheists say that there is no God. Can we prove them wrong?
Can we prove that God exists? This is one answer I
have received to my question.
This is what T. Latham said in answer to my
questions, and I quote:
Dr. Frank J. Tipler, a Mathematics and Physics
Professor at Tulane University, proves that not only does God exist, but that the universe will be resurrected, and every living soul will
be resurrected to face God (Omega Point), and live eternally.
The theory is explained, and proven in his book,
"The Physics of Immortality." Tipler uses Math and Physics to prove
the theory, and he also makes the comparison by using a cone placed upside
down, showing the universe, the earth and its inhabitants, residing at the
bottom, or large base of the cone, and God sitting at the top or uppermost
point of the cone, which he calls "The Omega Point."
The book is a hard read for someone lacking a
science background, but Tipler has finally made a connection between Science
and Creation, and proves his theory with Math and Physics.
Mine is not a proven theory, but I feel there is a
connection with Einstein's Theory E = mc2. God exists as:
The Trinity (three separate or distinct entities
under one Godhead).
E = Energy (God) Father
m = mass (Jesus Christ) Son
c = Speed of Light (Holy Spirit) Mother
End of quote.
----------------------
Can we prove that God exists? This is the question.
Thanks to the answer of T. Latham at Hub pages
today I am going to write this special hub, I am saying a special hub just
because it is outside my existing religious writings, which I am publishing as
I write them, so this hub will not fit as a continuity of my published
writings, but anyhow it deals with the same subject, therefore in a way it can
stand side by side.
Having said where this hub stands; now I have to
say why I am writing it; it is because I believe that God may well be as Dr.
Frank J. Tipler describe, just like in my part written theory of,
Reconciliation of the Universe, which one day I am going to finish and publish
on the net, my God is somehow similar to Dr. Frank J Tipler.
You may ask why I do not finish it and publish it
now? Well, we have to tell you that one of the reasons why we cannot finish our
theory of Reconciliation of the Universe, it is that we have first of all
convince religious people that the present nowadays religions need to be
modified.
Modifying existing religions sounds like troubles,
as it sounds like as it is the beginning of the end of the existing religious
system; in fact it sounds like the first trumpet in the Bible Revelations; now,
whether our religious writings are going to be the forerunner of the first
trumpet we do not know, the only thing we know is that I feel from within my
soul that I have to write my religious writing, and if I don’t write them my
life has not been worth living; therefore I have to try hard to find the right
things to write and then write them.
This theory of, Reconciliation of the Universe is
going to be written in very simple English, just because I do not know any
better, sometimes I think that perhaps it is the will of God, that a simple
self-taught person like myself feels the need to write these religious things.
Then I think that perhaps God wants an unlearned person like myself to write
religious things, because God wants all sorts of people to understand what is
going to be written in the coming new system; God wants that because everybody
can understand what is being said and also because it would be easy to
translate in a new language. As we all know some minor world languages are very
simple, so there is the need for a simple written religious book, which would
be easily translated in those simple languages.
What Dr. Frank J Tipler and other learned writers
are writing could be just great for all those learned people that are able to
understand them; but for the simple people perhaps our theory could be better,
as it is easier for simple minded people to understand. Perhaps this is God's
will, and I have to write my own religious writings, So, I am going to start with
my own theory of God exists at least by definition, just like the way we
have done here.
May God bless us and guide us to understand his
will.
