The Less You Know The More You Believe-Bono

I'd like to write about that theory, (personally), the So-called "theory" --concerning religion:

God, Jesus, Mary, Allah, Buddah, Moses, David, Goliath, Cain, Able, Adam, Eve,

uhhh, Satan (if I must) the fallen "angel" (oh by the way....CAN ANGELS FALL WITH WINGS?) I know they have wings. Well no I don't know anything) ...

If we want to go by the bible like the majority of all brainwashed christians seem to do...oh excuse me, strike out the brainwash part, I might cause a riot and that is also a sin too I believe because it always ends up violent.

I'd think that possibly just a nugde to a "devilish angel" (no God "nudges...pushes") wouldn't have forced him far unless of course the push or nudge came straight from the MAN (or woman) who called him/herself God... at the time.

Why get so upset at someone --AN ANGEL NO LESS --so as to have and urge to kick (kick? an angel?) straight out of Heaven and then send them to to a so-called horrible burning pit of fire place. Eternally to be a place named hell, Then AS AN ADDED BONUS,, appoint, promote,, IF YOU WILL, this fallen-ANGEL (that was KICKED OUT of Heaven for bad behavior by the way), to be the the DOGGONE LEADER of this place called Hell!

Well God did not invent the word Hell and neither did the Angel. The people of the medievil townships named their dumpyards this, Hell was when it was burning their trash, it was their city dump.... (creative thinking on God's part don't you feel?) I tend to feel that it is another man-made word. I suppose it was borrowed from the Egyptians....

This same "Fallen" Angel who simply had a question to God in reference about the world possibly being ruined by the evil in the hearts of men even though this perfect world created by God was mean to remain chaste and innocent.. Well, there must have been some clout, some sort of manners remaining between the two at some point, not all having been lost I don't suppose, The FallenAngel must at some point felt at ease with his/her questions to God.

Maybe one needed the other in order to look good, so to speak, or to KEEP CONTROL of all of these millions of people that were created (in God's image MIND YOU).

God's image of what? Himself? God, is far above having a body, we were created in God's image in the sense that we have a soul.

MANKIND, knowing nothing else, unable to know anything else...created God in HIS own image, giving to God human traits like anger, jeoulousy, greed, judgemental thoughts, threats, violent behavior, controlling behavior, even the ability to kill his own creations....

I do not and will not ever fear my god. I di not and will not ever believe or give any energy to the darker powers of this universe. They are harmless, hopeless and the simple light from your love will fade them to their positive ending. Do not believe in such horrible places.

People ask me why I do not go to church. They say, "Don't you believe in God? and I say, "Of course", but I do NOY believe in the Devil and will give no acknowedlegment into that direction.

It seems the devil has been prevailing in many sermons that I hear. THERE IS NO DEVIL and I do not want to be feeling that I am supposed to be scared into the control of the church and it's beliefs and it's need for money is what helps people to donate, people go to church because they fear a place that doesn's exist and they do not have enought trust and faith in a God that would NEVER threaten then or much less burn them eternally. That is not my God.

There's too many illogicical contradictorie stories, making Jesus and God seem benevolent and omnipotent, God-like and we shall not be able to look right upon them for their brillliance, and their love will overtake anything alse that our bodies are consumned by at the time, all of this in one sentence.....UNLESS, YOU'VE LIED, CHEATED, STOLEN, KILLED, BEEN JEALOUS, VINDICITIVE, REVENGEFUL, FLIRTED (OR EVEN A BIT MORE), DRANK, DRUGGED, SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE, DISHONESTLY, ETC, ETC,.......ALL of those wonderful human traits that GOD created within us ....In his image? Is God like that or did we make God like that unable to conprhend or understand the perfection that God has, will and will always hold,

Could you create a world with life, with a universe that a BIG BANG somehow by pure chance cooked up, (even thought God was standing there watching....)

Just because he is God gives him no right to judge us, as we have been given no right to judge each other. God would look like a MAN, maybe even take the form of a man, but not for long...God is GOD, Divinity, which we have no idea as to how to begin to say, see, desccribe, draw, conprehend, explain and/or much less teach about from a book that was written over 300 years after the death of Jesus Christ himself.

It seems they might need a small if not LARGER nudge by someone of equal or greater strength.... who the only one that I'm aware, the only one that comes to mind, well,,,,One who is peaceful and and all forgiving, non-judgmental, non-condemdening, all understanding, forever-and eternally seeking our love.., . thfis making no sense WHAT-SO-EVER (to me that is). that Hell is a place CREATED by God (God?? d No....not GOD!, surely not God!!??) reserved for those sinners (so-called), ranging from liars, non-believers, hypocrites, rapists, murderers and all of those other hell bound criminals thought to be mentally deranged monsters who are able to disguise themselves well enough to get by in this life many times as an upstanding, hardworking, caring and giving citizen of society, or humanity, I should say.

Well, I’ll say....oh....let's just take a Catholic priest as an example, (in disguise of course) imagining God knows what (no pun intended) about the 10 year old alter boy while at the same time giving his blessed and fulfilling words of comfort during a sermon to a whole building full of people who probably aren’t even listening, due to their own demons that are cavorting around inside of their minds and hearts. What a distraction it must be on their part…

Let’s say a Baptist minister gave his wife a good beating before church one Sunday morning because he makes her dress up to look like a prostitute.

Then she has to pretend she IS one so that her well respected husband can get an erection.

In order for him to keep it, he’s got to call her nasty names and push and shove her around a little bit, of course, he’s always careful to stay away from anyplace on her body that might be exposed to his congregation. But if they could see through her clothes, she’d look like she’d been assaulted on more than just one occasion, and what are the chances of THAT sort of coincidence? (I don’t believe in coincidences).

On the nights when she won’t play this sick little role, he goes and finds someone to play it with, and she knows it…but…he’s the church leader, people respect him and consider him to be a man of God. How could she ever claim otherwise, would it be more of a sin to expose him or to just keep it a secret? Keeping it a secret would save a lot of people from falling. Keeping it a secret wouldn’t possibly destroy their belief and trust in God and in God’s representative. Someone who might be giving them the only hope and peace in life that they’ve ever known…

But then wouldn’t keeping it a secret make her just as much of a hypocrite and be just as false as him? I sn’t a sin to allow yourself to be treated violently over and over again, since after a while you realize not only are you being hurt, but now, you’re joining in on the deal and your hurting yourself as well.

Unfortunately, we are humans, we were created this way. We were created (BY GOD) naturally, to sometimes or more often than that, be dishonest, cruel, inhumane, selfish, jealous, nasty and mean, conniving, vindictive, revengeful, deceiving, sneaky, hateful, spiteful, judgemental, unforgiving, merciless , thoughtless, careless and unsympathetic to others.

I’m not saying that because we were CREATED by God, these types of personalities and traits were also created by God. I believe that God is/was the Creator, but whatever evolved after that, in a (so-called) "negative" manner was not God-created. It was man-created. I do not believe that God created a hell, evil, a devil or anything else referring to that matter. These are man-made psychological weapons used for control and power.

Anyway, who’s to say that God would see things in a positive-negative aspect? God may see what we feel are bad things happening, negative occurrences, horrible and terrible events. Yet; what if, to God, as far as we are concerned, these are tools for teaching us to recognize the goodness in things, and the goodness that a bad situation can result in.

So, to God, maybe nothing is "evil" or "bad" because like I said, first of all, God did not, COULD NOT HAVE created evil, that would mean he/she/it is no God at all. Second of all, there is something to be learned from everything, especially things we see as awful and horrifying.

Unfortunately we seem to pay more attention to the terrible things that happen to others.

We’re more interested in seeing bad situations occurring and for some insane reason it attracts us. Maybe then, after a time, we can look back and remember the horrible thing we witnessed and will probably be able to see that it has most likely done something good for someone.

Somehow it might have created a better situation for a lot of others, maybe a law was passed, maybe a foundation was started, maybe many people by now have been saved from the same situation because of that something bad happening once, now it has been rectified and won’t happen to anyone else.

Someone lives due to someone else having an unfortunate accidental death and then donating their organs. Now we can see and understand how a terrible and awful event can turn out to be a good or even a wonderful thing for another person or even for several other people.

See how good and bad are perspectives, people see good things while others see bad things in the same scenario, and this is man-made, it is taught to us, what is good and what is bad.

God didn’t create these perspectives, humans developed them. God wants only for our souls to progress while we are here, and in order to progress, we must learn, and in order to learn we must go trough trying times, making us stronger.
