Welcome to our article, Believing in God and religions.
May God guide and help me to write the right
things?
Dear readers, we need to believe in God and
religions, because we humans have always had this need to believe in deities. Anyhow, I believe in a slightly different way, so, we have some theories to suggest, and we are writing this
article to get people ready to accept our religious theory, but above all we
want to say that religions are important to mankind, and they need to continue,
even if we need to modify them to make sense to the future generation.
In our religious theory of Reconciliation of the
Universe, it is necessary that we believe in God and religions, as close as
possible the way they are today, but we have realized that this is not possible
in the future, therefore, we are going to describe God the way we believe God can
be described in the future, you see, changing God description does not make
much difference to the believers, since God is seen in different ways from
different religious people.
Now, what we are trying to say here, is that we
need to believe in God and religions, because we have always believed in God,
it is in our human nature. You see, religions are also important because it helps people understand how to live life, so, it helps
people come together and stay together, and every time there are important
religious happenings people become interested in them and they come together to
see the events.
You see, today while I am writing this article the
first time, there is one of these events happening in Rome, we want to talk
about this event, so, we are writing it here-under in a special report, so that
we can show you that people are interested in religious happenings, it is only
natural, and that is one of the reasons why religions are here to stay, even if
one day we can prove that God does not exist, but may exist in a different
spiritual way; therefore, even when that happens, then people will find another
way of believing in something that brings them together.
This is the reason why we are writing this theory of Reconciliation of the Universe.
-----------------------------------------
Some difference in religions.
Now, we have had many religious discussions, and we have seen that
there are many religions, and there are many different gods and in some
religions gods are not even mentioned, so, we may assume that for people to
believe there is no need to have a god, as we the Christian have, but the
majority of the religious world believe that there is a soul in us; because they
believe that their forbears are somewhere in the world of the dead, and when
they die, they are going to meet again over there.
Now that we have assumed that people souls exist,
because the entire world believes that something spiritual exists, and
therefore they exist; but there are doubts whether God exists the way that we
have been taught. Now, let us assume that there is no God, then the first thing that comes to
our mind is; what happens to me when I die, what happens to our souls, would
they be flouting around in the universe, and if all the souls of the dead
people were to come together would this become a God life force or what? At
this point of time, we may assume that the dead people souls float about in
another dimension. Now that we have assumed that souls exist in another
dimension, souls are not less important whether we have a god like our God
Yahweh or not, because it is the spiritual force of our souls that has become
important for us.
But now, let us look at some of the great souls:
There should be no doubts in our minds, as there
are reasons to believe that the greatest soul that ever was on earth is our
Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that the spiritual life force of our Lord Jesus
Christ is very great, for a start all Christian souls are linked to our Lord
Jesus Christ, and this make him even greater, but I have also something more
personal to tell you.
You see, now that I have mentioned our Lord Jesus Christ it comes to my mind my dream about Jesus Christ, which was like this; I was dreaming that I was flouting in the air and this immense life-force-energy that covered half the subcontinent of India, introduced itself to me while I was dreaming and floating in the sky, and he said, do you know who I am? (In a very friendly way) And then in answer to his own question he said, I am the morning star. When I have dreamed this dream, I did not know what the morning star meant in a spiritual way, but I have worked it out later that it meant Our Lord Jesus Christ. You can read my dreams at this link, Cosmic Spiritual Dreams.
For all religious people perhaps the second most
important soul is Buddha as I understand it, because Buddha was the enlightened
one. Of course, there are many others souls like the prophets and the saints
that we could fill many pages with names, but I will stop here, because I would
like to introduce the most recent one, that the Roman Catholic Church has made
her a Saint, Saint Mary of the Cross Mackillop. I want to do this because it
shows how people are interested in religious events.
Therefore, when we look at this present religious
event, we have to admit that religions are very important to people even today,
because people follow religions more than anything else, even the best shows on
earth cannot compete with religions, because religions are an inborn need that
we have. You see, at this religious event, that most of the Roman Catholic
people have witnessed, and lots of them went to Rome to attend this religious
event personally on site. So, let us talk about it.

you believe in God and even if you are an atheist, religions are here to stay

Mary MacKillop
-
A new documentary about the life of Mary MacKillop claims she was
excommunicated from the Catholic Church partly as revenge for helping to expose
a South Australian paedophile priest.
The documentary for the ABC's Compass program claims sisters in MacKillop's
Josephite order of nuns attracted the ire of a South Australian priest for
telling authorities that a Father Keating, of Kapunda, was molesting children
at the local church school.
The sisters reported the abuse to the vicar-general and disciplinary action was
taken against Keating, humiliating him and angering a Father Charles Horan, who
was close to the bishop of Adelaide, Bishop Shiel, Fairfax newspapers say.
Horan is believed to have harboured a grudge against MacKillop and the
whistleblowers in her order, and used his influence over the bishop to
manipulate him into throwing the nun out of the church in 1871. Bishop Shiel
reversed the excommunication on his deathbed.
Father Paul Gardiner, a Jesuit priest and the chief postulator for MacKillop's
sainthood, told the documentary makers that Bishop Shiel was "gaga"
when he excommunicated the woman soon to become Australia's first saint.
"She submitted to a farcical ceremony where the bishop was, I'm not sure
you should use this word, gaga, but he had lost it and he was being manipulated
by malicious priests," he said.
Keating was sent back to Ireland where he continued as a priest, the
documentary says.
This is the first time the link between a paedophilia cover-up and MacKillop's
excommunication has been exposed, Fairfax says.
The documentary airs on October 10, a week before MacKillop's canonisation in
Rome.

One Australian Saint

Reported on the news
-
The canonisation of Mary MacKillop has been hailed as a day of rejoicing for
all Australians, and a very special day for the Sisters of St Joseph.
In front of a crowd of about 50,000 Catholics from around the world, the Aussie
bush girl Mary MacKillop became Saint Mary of the Cross.
Australians were estimated to make up between 6000 and 8000 of the crowd for
the ceremony to canonise six saints, and they let out a huge cheer every time
Mary's name was spoken.
Australian and Aboriginal flags were dotted throughout the crowd, and the
Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart - the order St Mary co-founded - stood
out in their bright blue scarves, waving yellow Mary MacKillop balloons.
They were all there to see the canonisation of One Australian Saint.
Members of the official Australian delegation - including Cardinal George Pell,
Sister Maria Casey, Sister Anne Derwin, Bishop Philip Wilson, Deputy Opposition
Leader Julie Bishop and Foreign Affairs Minister Kevin Rudd - addressed the
media following the canonisation ceremony in St Peter's Square.
"This is a day of rejoicing and it's a day first of all for the Josephites
- we rejoice for them, we rejoice with them," Cardinal Pell said.
"But it's also significant for the rest of us, as Australians and as
Catholic Australians."
The Vatican estimated 50,000 people would be present in St Peter's Square for
the occasion.
Cardinal Pell had his own way of summing up the impressive crowds.
"I thought the square was probably well and truly three-quarters full,"
he said.
"I thought it was a very respectable turnout. I was at the grand final of
the AFL and it was a much bigger crowd than that."
Postulator Sister Maria Casey, who has worked hard for years to get Mary's
sainthood recognised, said it had been a very emotional day for her.
"I felt very moved when the Holy Father actually spoke the words of the
canonisation and I was able to look up at Mary looking down on us and out onto
the square and I thought, `Mary, we've acknowledged you at last'," Sr
Casey said.
"It was a very powerful day and a wonderful culmination for the many
people who have worked on this cause since 1926. It's been a long journey.
"People say would I write my book but I say it could not be published
yet."
Sr Casey said she had a discussion with the Pope, who remembered his visit to
Australia for World Youth Day in 2008 with great fondness.
"He remembered very fondly his visit to Australia and being at Mary
MacKillop's tomb," she said.
"He said it was a great day for Australia.
"He sends his greeting to all of Australia on this very happy occasion,
and to the sisters also."
Mr Rudd said he felt humbled on hearing about the lives of the saints.
"As we listened to the life of Mary MacKillop and read the lives of those
others who were canonised today, it gives you a genuine sense of
smallness," he said.
"That is, that these are truly great people. It is a humbling
experience."

Saintly name for new school centre
A Hunter Valley Catholic school has become one of the first to honour Saint
Mary MacKillop with a trade training centre named in her honour.
Construction of the million dollar facility at St Joseph's High School,
Aberdeen commenced this week after a dedication ceremony and blessing of the
construction site.
The centre, majority funded by the federal government, will cater for courses
in metals and engineering, construction, primary industries and information
technology.
St Joseph's principal, John Tobin, says the new facility will become a hub for
schools and the community.
"Its certainly going to be a building that will be open for the wider
community and other schools," Mr Tobin said.
"We're hoping that with the spirit of MacKillop, rolling up one's sleeves
and hard work and dedication, that the facility will enable students of the
Upper Hunter and even adults to go through training that otherwise would not
have occurred without the trade training centre."
Maitland-Newcastle Diocese director of schools, Ray Collins, believes Saint
Mary would approve of the centre because it fits with the philosophy of the
Sisters of St Joseph.
"It is to give the students of the Upper Hunter the opportunity to develop
their skills, to prepare them for the types of work they might want to
undertake in their future," Mr Collins said
----------------------------------------------------------
"So in lots of ways we are continuing the role of Mary MacKillop in
ensuring that our young people will make an impact in our society and make our
world a better world."
The Saint Mary MacKillop trade training centre is scheduled to be ready for use
early next year.
---------------------------------------------------------
The other reasons.
There are other reasons why we have written about
this new saint religious service, it is because people believe that they need
this acknowledgment from the church; so, this article that is talking about
Saint Mary MacKillop, it also wants to prove that we the people of this world
need these religious services that acknowledge the good deeds that we do during
our lives.
Looking at the religious service and at the amount
of people that were attending there and in the world watching it on TV, one
cannot help to wonder how we can continue to keep the religions going on
indefinitely serving humanity, since humanity needs religions as we have seen
from this religious event and other things as well. Therefore, we believe that
we need to keep religious things going just the way that they are today, and
then plan the best way we can.
We believe that in the future, we need to link
everything together, because people have always been interested in religious
happenings and they always will be, so, the best thing for us to do is to find a
way, how they can fit together in our new religious theory. You see the
religious theory that we are talking about, it is going to be made up with everything
that is known or believed to exist today, so, every religion and every saint
has got a place in it, including, Saint Mary MacKillop, as the new Saint that
has a place among the other Saints.
Next time we go back to write normal articles about
our religious writings of, Reconciliation of the Universe, in the article
called; Future God of the Universe.

May God bless us all.
