Unreasonable Beliefs Among All Religions On Earth The more I think, contemplate, and speak to people about our Pale Blue Dot in the Universe and the religious beliefs in it, the stronger my belief becomes that the religious infrastructures that have been created around Divine values have to be largely the work of human hands and not God, for embodied in the beliefs and rituals are mindsets and limitations that are embodied in humans rather than abilities of a universal God. The pantheon of Avatars and Saints, all with their specialized roles, all to be used only for specific roles and on specific days, all seemingly representative of transferred human limitations and necessary human infrastructure and not the unbounded abilities of a universal God, doing all simultaneously for all universally. While we are all directly connected to and speak directly to God, I can understand if we so wish (not a necessity) to use one of these Avatars or Saints as a conduit to God (thus still holding true to the commandment to only worship God), however, could not anyone of these Avatars and Saints speak to God on any subject on any given day, if not wouldn’t that be akin to saying that you could only speak to your parents only through other intermediaries on specific topics on specific days? The other big fallacy that truly highlights human self-centeredness is when religions profess that God has only spoken to their religious founders, with the only correct Divine wisdom, only at one point in time, and never to be spoken to humans again. Tell me again why the Creator of the Universe (and possibly many Universes as some scientists suggest) not speak to ALL existence (and let us not bring in the concept of any group being ‘chosen’ for parents loves all of their children equally) throughout the continuum of time, especially when there is evidence of similarity in thought across all religion, throughout the world, and throughout recorded time? The only Truth is that no religion has sole domain on Divine wisdom, no religion’s understanding of Divine wisdom is complete or without error, and the source of all Divine wisdom is the same. Whatever little Divine wisdom each religion did understand, religious leaders have scribed it based on their limited understanding of that period and contorted it over time to keep themselves in power, the larger population subservient to them, and with concepts that could not pass test of reasonability today. Furthermore, to protect the Perfect image of their imperfect organizations that were/are run by imperfect people, religious leaders have continually thrown their followers under the bus rather than holding themselves and their organizations accountable for their atrocities (please see my earlier post today on Hindu religious lore where even God corrects its mistakes), under the veil of false Divine bestowed perfection; pick any religion and you see ongoing examples of such atrocities throughout history. If the aforementioned wasn’t bad enough, these religious leaders (at this point no different than the snake oil salesmen of the old west) developed unproven methodologies to predict why persons were deserving of their present state or validated their current life status, and then developed religious services to provide unproven solutions for unproven reasons to facilitate unproven and unguaranteed future destinies. I am not sure which emotion of mine surfaces stronger, anger at religions for the atrocities done in the name of God or accolades to religious ancestors for the brilliant strategy of creating false pretext/demand and then providing services for an unproven dilemma with unproven solutions, a model sustained under having the unproven ability to facilitate unproven redemption or sustained fear of having the unproven ability to send people to unproven really bad places for eternity. Has anyone ever thought about these religious beliefs and framework that are presently taught in a logical, universal, not any specific religion centric but in a rational, reasonable, from God’s perspective, or maybe the real question is why do so many bright, reasonable people continue to believe such flawed religious teachings across religions blindly?! https://facebook/OneGODLifeFramework
