Welcome to our blog, Man needs God, part one.
May God guide and
help me say the right things.
Dear readers, in
this article, let us talk about the reasons why man needs God. Now, because the original article is a long article, I am going to split it in two blogs. It is along article, because
of the many issues we need to cover. So, we will be talking about; Man might
have invented God, Man needs God, some religious mistrust, Proof of the
existence of God, there is more to God than just definitions, religious views
and conversations, Future God and religious possible descriptions, God of the
future and, Praying God for reconciliation and guidance.
We have reasons to
believe that man needs God, because it has been so since the beginning of recorded
time. So, let us discuss about the need to believe in God and be reconciled
with God, because for us it is impossible to ignore God, whichever God we
believe in. But there are several gods’ names that humanity believes in, even
though, we believe that there must be only one God, that represents all gods and spiritual forces that are believed to be in the universe. .
Anyhow, if we start
setting up for a single God, at the beginning of this article we could have
prayed God thus: May God of the universe that represents, Yahweh, Jehovah,
Allah belonging to the God of Abraham and those gods belonging to other
religions, like Braham, Vishnu and Shiver, and other gods that belong to other
religions, may these gods help us to say the right things, since they all
belong to the spiritual force of the universe.
We need to mention all these gods, because most civilization believe in their own Gods. Now, because we know that there
are many Gods in the world, we want to believe that these gods, one day can be
represented by a single God.
We know that
mankind has always felt the need to believe in a supernatural force like God. For
instance, how can we explain when we find that the ancient people buried their
dead with food beside them, as if the dead would eat? The only explanation that
we can think of, was that they believed that there is life after death, and
therefore there is a spiritual soul and God.
So, let us imagine,
how the existence of God was born, perhaps it was the fear of the unknown, or
they might have seen things that could not be explained, perhaps even dreams
could have started these spiritual beliefs, let us imagine a primitive person
dreaming about one of his past relatives, I am sure that he thought that his
soul had visited him, well this is one way of looking at spiritual things; but
we know that there are many other reasons why man needs God, even if we invented God ourselves.
We believe in God our own way. But there are people who believe that God is an invention of our human mind, and we invented God because we need God. If they are right or not we don't know, what we believe is that man needs God, and it would be good if God really exists.
Man might have invented God.
Mankind might have
invented God, because man needs God, for us Christian God has been described as
a fatherly entity, so, God should protect the young, the weak, and everybody
else, then God could fulfil the need of a powerful strong leader that can guide
and protect them if they need protection, we can add that man needs God because
God is hope for those that need hope most. But believing in God is strange
because we don’t see God, but we believe in God anyhow, not all humanity
believes about God in the same way, since there are many religions and many
Gods. Anyhow, the atheist people say that God is all an invention of our mind, so,
man might have invented God.
Anyhow, today while
I am editing this article, there are religious wars going on in the Middle East
and North Africa, you see, these religious extremists use their own God beliefs
to wage a war for their own benefits. But what the world needs now, is a merciful
God and not a warmonger; you see we humans are strange, we like things to be
always in our favour, that is the God we want?
Anyhow, since we
believe that man needs God and God exists, we will discuss about the existence
of God, which can be at least three ways: (1) God exists because God created
everything and therefore he is the creator; (2) God exists because he is the
main spiritual force of the entire universe; or (3) God exists because life
exists and God is the active life force of the entire universe, therefore,
everything living is a tiny part of God. Anyhow, we believe that this God being
the active life force of the entire universe is probably the type of God that
most people can accept including the atheists.
-------------------------------------
Man needs God, our views.
Man needs God
because we want to explain to ourselves, the reasons why we are here on earth.
We believe that God exists, because that is what we have been taught to
believe, and it is convenient to believe in God and follow a set of religious
rules. But the atheists believe that God does not exist.
We believe that
there is to harm to believe in God, humanity has believed in God and religions for a
very long time. You see, most of us believe even today that God exists, and
that man needs God. Therefore, God cannot be replaced by a complete religious
vacuum, because we will feel lost, and this will result in more harm than good.
Therefore, here we
are saying to the atheists that man needs God, now and in the future. You see
we believe in God, so, something needs to be done to help religions survive the
atheist attack, and the terrorist attack that is undermining most religions.
Therefore, we are searching how we can achieve that; so, we need to
philosophize and discuss religions many times, until we find something that
makes sense even to the atheists.
We need to overcome
religious mistrust that exists today, and we believe that a new religious
theory could help. Anyhow, we believe that it needs to be done and we are going
to suggest it, in our theory of, Reconciliation of the universe. Now let us
talk about religious mistrusts.
Some religious mistrust.
Today existing
religions are becoming out of date, they are self-centred because they have been written to keep the believers
isolated. But we believe that today religions must be made to unite all people,
because it creates a friendlier society, this setup is helpful, because people
like to belong to a group that have something in common, and religions do that
beautifully. But when religions are not the same, they give rise to mistrust of
the other religious groups.
In the past this
religious mistrust was not obvious, because people were isolated, most people
were born and lived in the same town all their lives, so, they didn’t know much
about the outside world, and then, everything was moving slower that today,
therefore, you could belong to a group of religious people, which might not
even know about the existence of other religious groups that were different
from their own, so, they were happy to live that way. But today it is different
we learn what the other religious groups believe, sometimes we don’t like what
they are doing, this gives rise to suspicion and mistrust. Therefore, we must
look for religious options that can improve cooperation between religions. Anyhow,
in this article we want to say that man needs God, and what sort of God is the
most suitable God.
Anyhow, we have talked about the atheists, who are people that do not believe
in God. But I believe that they are wrong to assume that God does not exist,
because God exists in a way or another. So, we are trying to provide the proof
of the existence of God, and we are writing this article to let the atheists
know that God really exists and God needs
to exist; because we need God. You see, this is in our own personal beliefs, so, let us talk about
it:
I believe that
since the beginning of recorded times, mankind has searched for a God and they
wanted God to exist, there are reasons why mankind has done that, and some of
the reasons can be the followings: Mankind want to believe in God because they want to know why they are living on this planet earth, or they may feel the need
to be protected from anything that is stronger than themselves, or anything that
cannot be explained. But does God really exist one may ask? We believe that
nobody can guaranty for sure that God exists; but most of us will agree that
man needs God, because it is better if God exists. Hereunder we are trying to
prove that God exists, not only because Man needs God, but because God does
really exist, even if this God that we are talking about, is different from the
God we have been told to believe from our forebears in the past, so, let us see
how this God would be like and why God exists. Anyhow, let us try to find proof
of the existence of God.
--------------------------
Discussing the existence of God.
Now, we believe that God exists, so, we want to prove that God exists, and
what we are writing here is our theory about the existence of God, because we
believe that God exists in a way or another, but above all that man needs God.
Anyhow, because we
know that there are religious problems to overcome; I believe that it can be useful,
if we can describe religions in a philosophical way instead of the fixed old
religious ways, because then on a plain field, it is easier to prove the
existence of God, even if God is different from our own beliefs of God. Now let
us see how we can describe the existence of this God.
We must assume, God
does exist because you and I exist, if God did not exist then you and I could
not exist. Therefore, we must assume that life is God and God is life itself,
and for this reason, one cannot exist without the other. I believe that this is
a way that we can explain God, life, and the spiritual things that we believe
in; if we do that, then it is hard to prove that God does not exist. Because
God represents life itself, and since life exists, because you and I exist, God
must also exist.
If we want to make
this theory acceptable, we must assume that my God may not be like your God or
the God described in the Bible, but God exists because God represents the
existing life on earth.
Now, if we assume
that God represents the existing life on earth, we must assume that God must
exist, because God is the spiritual life and the existing life on earth, so,
God exists, because God is the definition of life, therefore, there is nothing
that can take God’s place, since God is life, and the life giver of the
existing life on earth and the universe.
Anyhow, God does
not need to be the creator of everything, as God has been described in the
Bible, therefore, in our futuristic theory, God is the creator of the spiritual
forces of the universe, and life on earth. In our theory of Reconciliation of
the Universe, which is going to be the last part of these religious and
philosophical writings, God is the modifier of the existing life forces of the
universe and through this God-life-force the present existing life has been
made possible on earth, so, let us say that God exists at least as the
definition of life, because God is the life energies of the entire universe,
and without God there cannot be life.
You see; we need to
give a name to the existing life force of the universe, because this is the
life force that makes life possible on earth and perhaps everywhere else in the
universe. So, I say; what other name can we give to this life force that makes
life possible on earth? Perhaps God is the only name that is suitable to
describe this life force.
Did you hear what I have said? What other name can you give to the life force that makes life possible on earth? Therefore, God exists at least by definition of this life force, and there is no doubt about it. So, we believe that God must exist at least by definition, but there is more to God than just definitions, as we are going to write, in our next blog, Man needs God part two, where we are going to descuss, that there is more to God than just definitions, after that we will write about, God and religions of the future.
