A Proposal for a new (approach to) Religion

A Proposal for a new (approach to) Religion

I don't want to insult anyone's faith here, but even if you are religious you might agree there is some BS in religions,

If you hate God, then good. He hates you too.

He hates that you’ve allowed heaven to be ripped away from you and that you try to make a life for yourself in this fallen world by denying your soul. It’s deeply offensive to him.

Job’s obedience and worship didn’t grant him immunity from this hatred. Job was finally rewarded after he was willing to confront God in the name of justice.

God doesn’t want to only be known as a good mother.

You: God why didn’t you tell us about soap?

God: Shut up. Grow up.

The OMNISCIENT "triunity" in its human form called Jesus DID NOT KNOW about microorganisms and infectious disease. And you know it. And you will lie to the depths of your soul to avoid the significance of that, all the while posing as a messenger of truth straight from god.

It’s irrelevant. Jesus promoted a quality of life which infectious disease, and every other form of death, cannot bother.

Reliance on scientific innovation and medicine is for those who lack faith in the existence of the soul / God.

Jesus was never going to promote that path.

If you’ve read the Bible, then you’d recognize his message: don’t worry about anything other than entering into the kingdom of heaven.

Then why are there so many bullshyt healings in the book?


"Even with increased understanding and wisdom, still comes increased vexation."

As soon as you see someone posing as an answer man about unknowable things, about the mysteries of the universe, about metaphysics ... be assured you are hearing mere foolishness and ego.






So yeah, that's basically my vision: craig until adulthood, FellaGaga and soap after that. Thoughts?


Sounds about right


BTW, from Leviticus 13:

The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “When anyone has a swelling or a rash or a shiny spot on their skin that may be a defiling skin disease, they must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons who is a priest. The priest is to examine the sore on the skin, and if the hair in the sore has turned white and the sore appears to be more than skin deep, it is a defiling skin disease. When the priest examines that person, he shall pronounce them ceremonially unclean. If the shiny spot on the skin is white but does not appear to be more than skin deep and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest is to isolate the affected person for seven days. On the seventh day the priest is to examine them, and if he sees that the sore is unchanged and has not spread in the skin, he is to isolate them for another seven days. On the seventh day the priest is to examine them again, and if the sore has faded and has not spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce them clean; it is only a rash. They must wash their clothes, and they will be clean. But if the rash does spread in their skin after they have shown themselves to the priest to be pronounced clean, they must appear before the priest again. The priest is to examine that person, and if the rash has spread in the skin, he shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling skin disease."

Back to me in the end. I am the end boss.

Sounds like omniscience about infectious disease to me. You?


Maybe they just isolate because they don't want to be bothered by the sight of skin disease?


"No matter a man's study of The Great Mystery, he cannot solve it. No matter any increase in wisdom he cannot find it out. Being is the human charge, and a gateway unknowable. Seek first and foremost being and your path will take form. Trust and be. Keep close your faith (faith in life itself, no personifications needed). Life will pour out its blessing here and there, in its own place and time ... for you or for your brother or sister. Who knows the future or the ways of justice ... walk your steps?

"Is it by our understanding that the atoms play, that the natural forces exert, that the quantum machine shows us the apparition of existence? Vexation is the dead end of the self-wise, but a humble sojourner walks toward the truth of all things.

"So, water to the thirsty, gentleness to the rejected, compassion to the suffering, aid to the unsure sojourner, respect for life and creation. This is religion that is undefiled."


Who you quotin'?

Why? Evaluate it on its merits.

Me.

Me.

Riffing off of Ecclesiastes devices. I highly recommend reading it. I think its' only 10 or 12 pages.


"One does not succeed in the spiritual quest by imagining figures of light, but by bringing light to their own darkness thereby making it conscious instead of unconscious." ~ Carl Jung

This isn't a supernatural magic game as imagined by primitive and superstitious cultures. It's a nature of human consciousness game. Nature, not supernature, is what is operating in our lives.
