Did you notice your complete lack of stars & flags?
This subject matter is divisive and requires the judicious examination of ones own prejudices and teachings. BELIEF in a Supreme being barring
EMPIRICAL data is a matter of upbringing , teaching or indoctrination.
Look at the world we inhabit today and how religion does not seek to unify but to divide..The Christian from the Muslim the Muslim from the Jew, the
Jew from the Hindu and so on and so on.
This multiplicity of deity's to worship mirrors the multiple ethnic cultures the world over. On a philosophical level I look out into the observable
multi-verse I see such variety of stars and planets that I must concede that diversity is indeed the natural order of all things. I personally
believe in a balance an equilibrium of all things Good Evil Light Darkness..Good=God & Evil=Satan
Salvation from Sin= Jesus. Now some of you will say God is an invisible friend for grown ups , a paradigm that if it did not exist we would have to
invent.
Skeptics laugh and ask for proof of the unprovable seeking solace in prosaic answers because at least they can explain and understand. This may
comfort them but for some of us we take comfort in the mysterious and inexpressible the miracle moment, choosing ? to believe in the tradition we
were brought into or chose for ourselves later on in life.
I keep returning to BALANCE it exists at the Quantum level, and all the way through our plane of existence. We need a supreme deity to believe in
;our complex world presents problems which we ourselves created and yet have no viable solutions for. Without a supreme being there is little reason
to hope that the triumph of logic ,science and reason will reassert itself as the dominant force for solving the worlds many problems. (This does not
mean we should not try) It just means that all we know has brought us to the current state of affairs which quite frankly means another approach may
have brought us to more equitable results. If beauty were truth and truth beauty what a different world we would all inhabit, its not but thats the
world we pretend to promote. Truth is we live in a greed based society driven by rampant consumerism and corporate mass marketing. Spiritual and
Religious
beliefs are co-opted as a Political convenience and used as they always have been as a means of social control. God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Mary, Allah,
Mohamed , the name really does not matter its how we choose to represent our beliefs that matter. Blowing up men women & children to receive 72
virgins in paradise is not something that my Lord & Saviour will condone.
(A B-2 over Baghdad differs in its intent) Its Ok for us to Bomb then? No
God exists in my paradigm, and therefore his son also, which leads me to salvation and the expiation of sin. God is like Schroedingers Cat...If you
believe in HIM he is ..and if you don't he does not..and ultimately in this country your free to choose or change your mind at any time. For Me God
is Was and Ever Shall Be.
