Religious discussions and atheism
( Frank M. version) Post 4
-
Sorry I thought that I had said most things about the existence of God in my last post, but I have realized now that I have not, because today I found an article in the news that I have not written about, so let me post an extra post about the question about the existence of God, which deals with a new non religious trend, I am going to call this post, Religious discussions and atheism.
Therefore, my dear readers, once again I am going to go out of my way, because I feel the need to say something about what I have found in the news, so, instead of writing another post from our religious writing, I am going to comment what I found in the news.
You See, it has come again to my attention that there are a lot of learned people that would do anything to prove the non existence of God. But try as they may they do not convince me that there is no God, in fact I am convinced that there is a god-life-force in the universe that behaves perhaps the way these scientists describe their laws of physics.
In this post, Religious discussions and atheism, I will try to state my own religious views, while we are looking at, what are they talking about?

Stephen Hawking, physicist argues in a new book;
God did not create the universe and the "Big Bang" was an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics, the eminent British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking argues in a new book.
In "The Grand Design," co-authored with U.S. physicist Leonard Mlodinow, Hawking says a new series of theories made a creator of the universe redundant, according to the Times newspaper which published extracts Thursday.
"Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist," Hawking writes.
"It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the universe going."
Hawking, 68, who won global recognition with his 1988 book "A Brief History of Time," an account of the origins of the universe, is renowned for his work on black holes, cosmology and quantum gravity.
Since 1974, the scientist has worked on marrying the two cornerstones of modern physics -- Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, which concerns gravity and large-scale phenomena, and quantum theory, which covers subatomic particles.
His latest comments suggest he has broken away from previous views he has expressed on religion. Previously, he wrote that the laws of physics meant it was simply not necessary to believe that God had intervened in the Big Bang.
He wrote in A Brief History ... "If we discover a complete theory, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason -- for then we should know the mind of God."
In his latest book, he said the 1992 discovery of a planet orbiting another star other than the Sun helped deconstruct the view of the father of physics Isaac Newton that the universe could not have arisen out of chaos but was created by God.
"That makes the coincidences of our planetary conditions -- the single Sun, the lucky combination of Earth-Sun distance and solar mass, far less remarkable, and far less compelling evidence that the Earth was carefully designed just to please us human beings," he writes.
Hawking, who is only able to speak through a computer-generated voice synthesizer, has a neuro muscular dystrophy that has progressed over the years and left him almost completely paralyzed.
He began suffering the disease in his early 20s but went on to establish himself as one of the world's leading scientific authorities, and has also made guest appearances in "Star Trek" and the cartoons "Futurama" and "The Simpsons."
Last year he announced he was stepping down as Cambridge University's Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, a position once held by Newton and one he had held since 1979.
"The Grand Design" is due to go on sale next week.

My personal point of view in this post, Religious discussions and atheism is that, whenever and whatever this book is going to tell us, I feel that it is not going to make any difference to my religious beliefs. Therefore, what does this new book prove to me about the existence of God?
I suppose nothing at all, because my views are that God can co-exist within this Stephen Hawking physicist theory, if his theory can be proven to be right.
Now that I have said this, I will return back to post our usual posts next time. I know that even now I can think about many more articles that need to be discussed about beliefs and non beliefs, so, we will have to go back again and again to discuss them, when the need arises.
I believe that now I need to go back and talk about sex and pedophilia in religions and in everyday life. So next article will be about; the beautiful, sweet, treacherous and ugly beast we call sex.

The questions about God?
YOU ARE INVITED!
You are invited to browse and take part in the discussions that follow.
FIRST OF ALL, THE QUESTION ABOUT GOD
(Frank's M. version) Post 3
Since we are talking about religions, these questions arise;
Is there a god?
Or; is there no God?
How do we decide what is the best way to go about this dilemma?
Since the beginning of recorded time mankind seems to believe in the existence of supernatural beings, it seems to be natural for mankind to believe in God or gods.
As we all know, the question about the existence of God has always been asked for thousands of years, so, I do not think that any of us will be able to prove God’s existence beyond any doubts.
Now because this belief has been used for ages up to the present generation, I suppose that it would be easier to assume that God really exists, even if one day in the distant future God may turn out to be very different from the way we believe God is at this present time, only time will tell.
As I said God may well be different from God in the Bible, in fact I think it is different; but to prove how different is God and who and what is God is near impossible, in fact it is easier to prove that God does not exist, because one does not have to prove anything at all, just you have to state the non existence of God and that is all you have to say.
But then we might create a bigger problem here, because if man invented God, then it follows that man needs God, even if God does not exist as the Bible describes him/it, this is the question about God that everybody would like to know.
My views about this religious subject is that mankind needs to modify the existing religions, in such a way that all existing religions link together, it is necessary to do this since the existing religions seem to fail, they seem to me that they have passed their pick of usefulness; therefore, it would be better if there is a way about how to improve them, so that it would be harder for them to fight each other, and therefore, extremist groups will not be able to use religions as an excuse for fighting.
I have to admit that the first thing that really started me to think about this theory of modifying religious beliefs was the 9-11 disaster, when I learned that those responsible were religious fanatics; Up to that point I could not see that some religions would condone such violence against humanity, not only condone violence but indeed teach their follower to use violence in the name of God.
Now the first question that comes to any reasonable person is this: How could God that is the father of all humanity let this happen in his name?
The answer to this is: No way, God does not approve of this violence at all. It is the people that find a way how to make it look like as if God approves. To do that they dig out old scriptures of some old events and apply those events to nowadays events, what’s wrong with them? Can’t they see what they are doing? Whatever example they dig out from old scriptures, they should understand that those examples could only apply to those times and those circumstances.
Therefore, if there is a way that makes these people and their leaders understand that they are wrong, perhaps these violent acts may be eliminated.
This is the first and perhaps the most important reason why something needs to be done.
Another reason is that of the behaviour of the Roman Catholic priests about paedophilia in their ranks, this could be partly eliminated if priests would be allowed to get married.
Then there are also the atheists who having seen all these negative happenings in religions, put their case forward and say that the world would be better off without religions. They believe that God does not exist, just because God cannot be seen and cannot be proven that it exists. I would say to them that one day they might be proven wrong, as it seems to me that there is a better chance that God exists, perhaps different to the way described in the Bible, so it would be wiser for them to wait and see.
The atheists accuses religions of failing their role and that they do more harm than good, so if religions are not there it would be better.
Well I am sure that they have some evidence to say this, because in the past religions have made so many mistakes and even nowadays religions still are failing to fulfil their role properly.
Now, because atheists are non believers they see only where religions fail, so, they do not see any benefit that religions contribute, because they do not want to see it.
But, I believe that they are doing more harm than good themselves in believing whatever they believe, I hope that they understand that man needs God, because it is easier for them to believe in something that could or would help them with their problems, even if it is only in their imagination.
So, I would like to tell an imaginary story to the atheists to show the atheists what I mean.
Let me give you an example why man needs God, even if it might be only a wish that God exists and could help.
So let just pretend:
You are out in the middle of nowhere, say with a couple of friends; You don’t know and very few people know that a long time ago there were mines there; those mines have been closed and covered up, so nobody knows where they are know.
Suddenly the ground gives way under your feet and two of you fall down the mine shaft, the third guy tries to help you, but the ground gives way again and he end up in the mine shaft as well. Now the three of you are all down in the mine shaft with no way out.
You were lucky you are not badly hurt; but also unlucky, because you do not have a mobile to call for help, so, you may have to wait a very long time to be rescued, because nobody knows where you are.
As time goes by and nobody comes; would you not wish that there was a way of communication with the rest of the world? Do you think that you would be thinking God does not exist so he cannot help us?
Very likely you would wish that God existed and could help you, because, God and religion is there for those who need hope most. So, you would wish that God would send somebody there, so that he could send for help soon rather than later.
Do you see what I mean? Of course there are many other things which make people hope that there is a god that could help them. You see, this sort of hope cannot be replaced, as there is nothing else to replace it with; therefore God and religion cannot be completely replaced. Of course you are going to say that this is only my opinion and I can be wrong? OK. I can give you that; but what do you have to replace it with?
My personal views about religions are that mankind needs to modify existing religions, they should be modified in such a way that it would be hard for people to cause harm by using religion, this needs to be done because religions have not been planned in a way that they cannot be used to cause harm, in fact they seem to be planned only to get everybody of a community together, so that they would be able to defeat those that would oppose their own group.
Now, if religion could be improved in such a way that would be harder for any religious member to use religion to cause harm to others, then there is still a role for religion.
If this fails, then we may have to assume that there is no God or religion and we have to take this other task on ourselves, about how to find a way to control ourselves without religions, and how to fill the void that religions have left.
Therefore, I believe that it is worth to try and see how it goes; if by suggesting some religious changes to existing religions they would become better and therefore be able to survive, not exactly as they are now but very close to it.
The importance of modifying religions nowadays is becoming necessary, so that religions may guide humanity until the time that humanity fully understands whether there is a god or not; if they find that there is no God and then they can prove it; then humanity has got to learn how to live without God.
How can we achieve that one may ask?
To modify religions is not a simple task, it could not and would not be achieved in one single step, because the only possible way that I can see, it that we need to unite all existing religions together during this process, so it is better if this process is done step by step.
First one needs to link existing religions in such a way that they are willing somehow be friendly to you and also with each other; and at the same time make them understand that there is no room for extremists.
Condoning vile acts against humanity just because the culprit is a religious person is insane.
To teach that one can kill in the name of God is even worse. Those extremists that want to kill better find another way to condone their violent acts.
To condone violence and to condone pedophilia are the lowest acts of religions, those leaders that are in a position of command, should really do something about it, what are they waiting for?
I think I have already said a few things about condoning violence in religion; but perhaps not enough about pedophilia in religions, so I am going to write another article to deal with sex and pedophilia, as soon as I complete this article.
I have started to write this article asking if God exists or does not exist, at this point of time I have not been able to answer this question properly; but I tell you what I and my friends will be doing, we are going to write about the existence of God, since we are firm believers that God exists; but now, let me first talk about sex and pedophilia in religions and in everyday life. So next article will be about; the beautiful, sweet, treacherous and ugly beast we call sex.

-------------------------------
Good day and welcome to my readers:
This is Manfraco Laws continuing this blog-post that Frank@yahoo started with; Why Religious Reconciliation is being written; my post is going to be called, What is the duty of every man? And it comes from our writings in common, which we intend to publish in this blog to start with, then it will also be published in other sites.
-------------------------------
What is the duty of every man?
(Frank's M. version) Post 2
.
THIS COULD OR WOULD BE THE LIFE DUTY OF ANY MAN.
.
When a man (or woman) is born receives this gift of life from God in conjunction with Mother Nature, all this is achieved through and from his/her parents as we all know, since this is the only natural way for life to continue indefinitely. This gift of life that this man has received from God, (Mother-Nature etc.) he should Endeavour to guard dearly during his own life with all his inner will and his physical strength, as life is a very precious gift that he has received, especially in god’s eyes since God is the life giver of all existing life.
Therefore, a man must try to live his own life well, or at least as good as his parents have done before him, and if he can he must try to improve the standard of life that he has received, these improvements that he may have made should be passed on to his children, so that the next generation that comes through him and from him will have a better standard of life than he has had during his own life.
Having described above what the life duty of any man would be, and believing every word that I have said above, there is no way that I can avoid to do my duty for the improvement of future generations, if I want to feel that my life has been worthwhile living; otherwise I will feel that life has passed me by and I have not done anything important, or contributed anything at all for the improvement of future generations.
Therefore now, I have to start thinking what I could and should do to achieve my goal, in order to do my duty and try to improve what I have received from life and what I have learned from life, so that I may have a record of it, and then see which way it can be used for the benefit of mankind. I believe that the best way to do this is to start writing down most of my own life observations including my religious beliefs, since we are going to talk here about religions and religious beliefs; I have to write my religious beliefs in such a way that they could be understood and would make sense to whosoever might read them. I know that my own life experiences and my life observations of religious beliefs that I am going to write here might seem a bit strange to some reader; but what can I do if life sometimes is a bit strange? I can do nothing about it, except to tell you the way it is, and the way that I see it. So, if I have to do my duty in order to improve what I have received from life, I am going to tell you my own life experiences to start with, even if my life experience is going to be boring and might seem strange at times, as I am sure that my life experiences are going to seem strange to you sometime, so much so that one would think that they may be like a metamorphose. But, because a man has got to do what a man has got to do I am going to do it anyhow; so may God help me/us!

Hi everybody!
This is Frank@yahoo writing this religious review.
After looking at what we have already published in this blog, I have come to the conclusion that we have missed to explain clearly why this Religious Reconciliation is being written.
So, in order to give our readers a better explanation, I have suggested to my friends that we start again from the beginning, in the hope that we can give our readers a clear picture of what this is all about.
INTRODUCTION
(Frank's M. version) Post 1
The main reason why Religious Reconciliation is being written:
There are many reasons why this religious theory or treaty is being written; so, let me start from the beginning; first of all who is writing this article about ‘Religious Reconciliation’ and why.
This Religious Reconciliation theory is being written from a few friends, who want to share with the rest of the world their lifelong experience of what they have learned during their lives.
Nowadays, they see that religions seem to be struggling to fulfil their designed role, which is to help people to overcome hardship and live in harmony with God, Mother Nature and their fellow man.
This state of religious discordance that seem not in harmony as they should have been, have happened to a higher degree in the last few years, it may be due to the fact that a lot of things have changed lately very fast indeed, while religions have not changed at all, you see, it is hard for religions to change anything as their beliefs are fixed.
So, after talking over and over again among themselves about many things and of course religions, this small group of friends have come to the conclusion that perhaps they could do something useful for the community themselves, if they write down what they think needs to be done, in order to improve this religious situation, they feel that the whole of mankind should feel the need of doing something to improve the situation; but they see that nobody is doing anything. Now, since nobody else seems interested in doing it, they are ready to do something themselves; So they want to write down their own theory and hope also that they would be able to publish their writings on the Internet, so that everybody would be able to read their religious views for free.
Now that I have explained the main reason for writing Religious Reconciliation, let me say who are these writers, so that I as one of them may be able to write in a direct way instead of using the third person ways of saying things. There are three main contributors to these writings: I (as Frank M.), Manfraco Laws and Frankomank, there are others but they are allowed to have their say through us three, unless they really want to say something themselves directly.
Now that I have explained some of the situation, I need to add that we have agreed to write most things in the first person, because it is easier, so when you read an article that article is not going to explain who wrote it, as we all will assume that we have written everything ourselves. In other words I will say that I have written it, Manfraco Laws will say that I have written it and Frankomank will say I have written it; who has written it does not matter as we have agreed to do it this way.
At this point you may ask, what has made us write Religious Reconciliation, so let me explain a bit more what drove us to write.
After endless discussions among ourselves and a few friends, while we were looking closely at what was going on in the world nowadays and seeing that there is room for improvement, we looked also around in the hope that somebody else would be doing what we thought was necessary to be done; but we saw that nobody was doing anything at all, so, we decided that since nobody was doing anything similar to what we had in mind, it would be our duty to do something about it, because a good man has got to do what a good man has got to do! Now, the explanation for this decision will be self evident when you read next article which we have written according to what we believe in: What is the duty of every man?

How can religious reconciliation be achieved
WELCOME TO MANFRACO RELIGIOUS RECONCILIATION DOC; YOU ARE INVITED TO BROWSE AND TO TAKE PART IF YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING IN THE RELIGIOUS FIELD DISCUSSED. IF YOU FIND SOMETHING PERSONALLY INTERESTING LET US KNOW. email us it is free, just a short comment will do if you don't have much time.

How can religious reconciliation be achieved?
Religious Reconciliation can be achieved by modifying existing religions slowly.
For this reason, I would like to see one day on the news that most of the leading religions have called a meeting, so that they may find a way how to work together, and so end religious isolationism.
I have to admit that there are sometime a few signs that it is already happening, which gives me, hope for the future of religion and mankind.
Mankind should try to find religious reconciliation through discussions.
Religious differences, as well as shared understandings, can only be discovered through discussions and listening to the ‘best’ exponents of another religious tradition, collaborating with them in social and political projects of common concern, and honest, vigorous argument.
It is a fallacy to believe that argument has no place in inter-religious dialogue. Argument, as long as it does not descend to the level of misrepresentation and invective, is a form of respect towards the other. The other’s views are considered important enough to be taken seriously, neither ignored or ‘downplayed’ in the interests of a superficial harmony.
So, if and when religious leaders meet, let them invite also agnostic and atheists representative, as these represents part of the people, even if these people do not believe in any god or religion, but in a way they believe in not believing and their views should be taken into consideration.
The hope for betterment exists in the fact that we all can modify our beliefs and come a bit closer to the other parties and in doing so with time religious reconciliation for all could be achieved.
-
For this reason I would like to contribute by writing my theory of, Reconciliation of the Universe, which is going to be written in very simple English, just because I do not know any better, sometimes I think that perhaps it is the will of God that an unlearned person like myself feels the need to write these God things. Then I think that perhaps God wants an unlearned person to write religious things, because God wants all sorts of people to understand what is going to be written in the coming new system; God wants that because everybody can understand what is being said and also because it would be easy to translate in a new language.
As we all know some minor world languages are very simple, so there is the need for a simple written religious book, which would be easily translated in those simple languages.
-
Of course, modifying existing religions sounds like troubles, as it sounds like as it is the beginning of the end of the existing religious system; in fact it sounds like the first trumpet in the Bible Revelations; now, whether my religious writings are going to be the forerunner of the first trumpet I do not know, the only thing I know is that I feel from within my soul that I have to write my religious writing, and if I don’t write them my life has not been worth living; therefore I have to try hard to find the right things to write and then write them.

CAN WE PROVE THAT GOD EXISTS?
The face of God according to Michelangelo;
Can we prove that God exists?
This is the title and the question for this post.
What has prompted me to write this extra post is the fact that I have found on the Internet a few people that believe in religion in a way similar to mine; but I have to admit that those people I found seem well educated people and well above my writing standard, as they write in a scholarly way, however our beliefs seem to run mainly in a parallel way; now just because there are these learned people writing what I am writing make me apprehensive, however I am still going ahead and write my own religious beliefs.
Just to show you an example, hereunder is what T. Latham at hub pages says in answer to one of my questions about the existence of God; my questions in hub pages were: How do you know that God exists? The atheists say that there is no God. Can we prove them wrong?
-----------------------------------------------------
Can we prove that God exists? This is one answer I have received to my question.
This is what T. Latham said in answer to my questions, and I quote:
T.Latham says
Dr. Frank J. Tipler, a Mathematics and Physics Professor at Tulane University, proves that not only does God exist, but that the universe will be resurrected, and every living soul will be resurrected to face God (Omega Point), and live eternally.
The theory is explained, and proven in his book, "The Physics of Immortality." Tipler uses Math and Physics to prove the theory, and he also makes the comparison by using a cone placed upside down, showing the universe, the earth and its inhabitants, residing at the bottom, or large base of the cone, and God sitting at the top or uppermost point of the cone, which he calls "The Omega Point."
The book is a hard read for someone lacking a science background, but Tipler has finally made a connection between Science and Creation, and proves his theory with Math and Physics.
Mine is not a proven theory, but I feel there is a connection with Einstein's Theory E = mc2. God exists as:
The Trinity (three separate or distinct entities under one Godhead).
E = Energy (God) Father
m = mass (Jesus Christ) Son
c = Speed of Light (Holy Spirit) Mother
End of quote.
----------------------
Can we prove that God exists? This is the question.
Thanks to the answer of T. Latham at Hub pages today I am going to write this special post, I am saying a special post just because it is outside my existing religious writings, which I am publishing as I write them, so this hub will not fit as a continuity of my published writings, but anyhow it deals with the same subject, therefore in a way it can stand side by side.
Having said where this post stands; now I have to say why I am writing it; it is because I believe that God may well be as Dr. Frank J. Tipler describe, just like in my half written theory of, Reconciliation of the Universe, which one day I am going to finish and publish on the net, my God is somehow similar to Dr. Frank J Tipler.
You may ask why I do not finish it and publish it now? Well, I have to tell you that one of the reasons why I cannot finish my theory of Reconciliation of the Universe is that I have first of all convince religious people that the present nowadays religions need to be modified, so I have to go the long and hard way about it, until I believe that I have said enough to convince people that something needs to be done, and then I will start doing it, by finishing to write Reconciliation of the universe and publishing it.
Modifying existing religions sounds like troubles, as it sounds like as it is the beginning of the end of the existing religious system; in fact it sounds like the first trumpet in the Bible Revelations; now, whether my religious writings are going to be the forerunner of the first trumpet I do not know, the only thing I know is that I feel from within my soul that I have to write my religious writing, and if I don’t write them my life has not been worth living; therefore I have to try hard to find the right things to write and then write them.
My theory of, Reconciliation of the Universe is going to be written in very simple English, just because I do not know any better, sometimes I think that perhaps it is the will of God that an unlearned person like myself feels the need to write these God things. Then I think that perhaps God wants an unlearned person to write religious things, because God wants all sorts of people to understand what is going to be written in the coming new system; God wants that because everybody can understand what is being said and also because it would be easy to translate in a new language. As we all know some minor world languages are very simple, so there is the need for a simple written religious book, which would be easily translated in those simple languages.
What Dr. Frank J Tipler and other learned writers are writing could be just great for all those learned people that are able to understand them; but for the simple people perhaps my theory could be better, as it is easier for simple minded people to understand. It this God's will? I do not know. Anyhow I have to keep writing them.

Dicussions on today religious problems
I have been talking to some friend of mine about how religions started, and this is what I said:
Let me have my personal say about these beliefs.
I believe that religions started out from our inner fear of the unknown.
What I have just said may hurt some people feelings, but we are a
fearful lot. We are looking for security all the time, so we live in
communities to feel safe; it is human nature to feel this fear of the
unknown and it is good because it helps us survive.
The origin of religion therefore is an extended reaction to our inner
fear, which we try to control by simple reasoning of our mental
capacity. So when we were facing unexplainable things, we found a way
out in religion, which is good at explaining the unexplainable.
This is what I personally believe.
Now our discussions seemed to change a bit and we were discussing leadership in general; my friends believe that we are ready to make a great leap forward; and this is what I said:
We may very well be leaping forward, not because we want to leap
forward, but because if we do not leap we will be pushed to jump
anyhow; So, I hope that our leaders wake up and see where they are
leading us, the modern world needs some rules adjustment and these
adjustment will come soon or later, therefore, it would be better for
our leaders to start looking for what needs to be done.
Talking about religious matters it is obvious that they do not work
the way they used to work in the past. Of course in the past religious
scandals were known only where they happened, so people still could
have faith in the rest of their religious leaders. But nowadays
scandalous news or any news travel very fast, so, the entire world
knows what happens in no time at all.
So, I am waiting to see the day, when the pope with the rest of the
Roman Catholic Church leaders wake up and find the courage to call a
meeting, so that, they may discuss what needs to be done to fix these
problems.
My personal views are that the priests should be allowed to marry and
whoever commits any sexual sins should be removed from priesthood,
this might help solve some of the existing paedophilia problem.
May God help them to see the light!
This is what one of my frieds said:
Marriage, sadly Manfranco does not solve paedophilia - most abuse is
still within families. The fix might come from recognising religion
is much less important than decent behaviour.
This is my answrer to him:
I agree with you that decent behaviour is most important to fix any sort of moral problems; and that those religious guys there do not let us see what is going on.
Anyhow, I did not say that paedophilia could be solved for everybody; it was just meant for the priests only, as I believe that for a normal man sexual activities are part of the life cycle and cannot be changed.
So I have reason to believe that any normal man who wants to become a priest, and believes that just because he is very religious he could keep in check sexual activities is a fool, as he is not God. You see, Mather Nature is stronger than his will soon or later he will fall.
Why these clever guys have put themself in this unrealistic position I do not understand, but it is time for them to really say what is going on and fix their sexual problems.
I really would like to know from specialist sex doctors, whether a normal man can really live his life with no sexual activities at all. Now if their answer is negative, then the Roman Catholic Church people need to really fix their sexual problem fast and let the priests get married; by doing that religion as it is today might have a better chance to survive.
If you have your own views on this matter let us know.
