Religions do not exist. Time neither. God does.

Listen to this excellent speech about GOD!!!

I was raised as Catholic. Today I only recognize God more or less as a Universe and all that surrounds us. (It is complicated and I do not want to offend some very GOOD religious people.)

Here is a passage from the book of Parker Lochiel Johnstone "Origin of the Universe, Life, then religions" that most closely resembles my religion.

"This man's God does not demand prayers about his weaknesses or demand supplications of his desires. This man's God does not expect him ever to be perfect, but rather allows him to do the best he can by following his own Conscience.

This man's God does not have to communicate with him through intercessors, ministers, or saints, or angels, but rather, through the quietness of his own mind, the beauties of his garden, the refreshing rain, the whispering breezes through the trees, the warm touch off a loved one's hand, the innocence of the questioning look of a child.

This man's God is all Nature of which he is truly a part. To talk with Him, then, is to talk with himself, and be aware that God's presence is constant. To him, this is what is known as 'prayer.'"

Here is another way to make my point

There were 4 good man and by good I mean they all were faithful to their wives, love and respect their children and did all the universally good things that most people immediately recognize as good (as oppose to bad) and do not need any special definition of what those good things are.

You get the picture.

The 1st man was Christian, 2nd Muslim, 3rd was Atheists, and last 4th one was African Bushman whose village was only relatively recently discovered by "white man" and till today he does not have electricity in his village.

Here is a question. Which one is GOOD? Which one is THE one?!

See according to religion, they all cannot be completely equally good ... 3 of them ALWAYS miss this 'one thing' .. Jesus, or Allah or XYZ, or The Sun God. God would only let 1 one of them to Heaven. The other 3 will (according to Religion[s]) burn in Hell.

So, until this situation changes, I am staying out. Sorry.

All the respect to all who disagree ... pray for me then, let your God have mercy on me after ... well, you know after what. The good news is that if you pray for your God and allow others to pray to others Gods, then practically, there isn't that much difference between you and me.

We just may be both Good Man.

And here is more deeper and physical aspect that I like to tackle when thinking of God on the large scale. What does "omni-present", "timeless", and "infinitive" really means?

To start, you must read this article (no matter how much your head may hurt; my did!)

Discovermagazine.com Newsflash: Time May Not Exist

If time and space is like waves and light and not continuous, if it is getting closer to be explained by quantum mechanics, if time is just an illusion, approximation on the large scale, then the idea of infinitive and omni-present (universe; God) is suddenly much more understandable.

How trivial is "bible studying" in this context? Do we really believe that studying silly texts written by people 2,000 years ago are going to get us closer to the nature of God than asking the real questions, the difficult ones? What a primitive God it would have been that chose 200 pages long obscure book to sum up her existence and nature!

The bigotry of the nonbeliever is for me nearly as funny as the bigotry of the believer.
