Religious spiritual beliefs

WELCOME TO OUR RELIGIOUS RECONCILIATION DOC; YOU ARE INVITED TO BROWSE AND TO TAKE PART IF YOU WANT. IF YOU FIND SOMETHING PERSONALLY INTERESTING LET US KNOW. just a short comment will do if you do not have much time.

Welcome to our blog, Religious Reconciliation Doc
and our post Religious spiritual beliefs

Religions are spiritual beliefs


Religious spiritual beliefs

May God guide and help me to say the right religious things in these religious writings?

When we talk about religions, we have to accept that religious beliefs are spiritual and eternal, since there is proof that they have been here all the time, and so is God and the universe, this belief seems to be written deep within our soul, therefore, it would be unwise to say that there is no God, because even if there is no God like a real person, then God would exist just the same, as God could or would be the existing life and you and me are just a very tiny part of God life force of the universe. Or better still we should see God as a spiritual being, with all his power in the Holy Spirit, because that is what God can really be and this spiritual being gives life to every living thing. You see we need God to explain our life and this is as close as we can get for the time being.
You see we need God and this is one of the reasons that we are trying to explain why we believers should always believe that there is a God, and I suppose that there should be a god for the atheists as well, if the atheist look for God in their own ways, in other words whatever force energies they believe has made life possible on earth, that same force energy could be called God. Now, as you know we have already talked about it, that there could be a god for the atheists that even the atheists might accept; now we would like to talk a bit more about this god just to make sure that we have said enough, in order to understand this religious situation.
Here I need to say that my religious friends and I have reflected on this religious situation for a while together, and we have come to the conclusion that there is only one God throughout the universe. What and how this God would be is hard to explain in a few words right now, as we do not have a very firm idea, but we have to assume that in a certain way God and Mother Nature are the Creators of life in the universe, and God is master of the whole universe, and therefore He is also the eternal positive and active life-force that makes life possible on earth and the universe and keeps the entire universe alive, and he guides the whole universe with his greater wisdom. We have described God as the positive life force, because we believe that the positive life force is where all life begins and the negative life force is where all life ends. We know that this sound only as a descriptive way, but this is all we can say for the time being, because all this will be explained when we write our third part called, Reconciliation of the Universe.
Anyhow, I believe in this God-Most-High who is the eternal unseen life-force that guides the whole universe, even though I could not see Him. And I believe also that the whole universe is full of many seen and unseen active and alive spiritual things, and even though I cannot see these unseen active alive things I know that they are there and they are working together in a parallel way with the seen alive beings or things; therefore, they are helping each other in the never ending life cycle of the whole universe.
I believe that since God-Most-High is the active life-force of all living beings in the universe, from the largest to the smallest living being or thing; it follows that all the life-force of living beings or things to God they shall return when they die.
Therefore, I believe that through God-Most-High-life-force every living creature receives their gift of life when they are born, and at the end of their lives, their life-force will return to God-Most-High-life-force, and there in the spiritual form they will stay waiting for next round, if and when there is a next round, you see, we are not certain about this part.
In these religious spiritual eternal beliefs, we have good reasons to believe that the following could or indeed would be true, because it is believed that within this parallel spiritual world the highest order of all living beings that return to God’s life-force, may one day, be judged according to their lives’ deeds that is if and when there is a real judgment day. To understand better what we believe and mean about judgment and salvation you need to read that part of our religious writings called ‘Reconciliation of the Universe’ when we write and publish it later on.
Now, this religious article here is still part of, Prayers for reconciliation writings and we would like to continue to discuss here that religions are believed to be spiritual eternal beliefs; we know that Religions are spiritual eternal beliefs, since most people have believed about God and religions all the time.
There is also something else to say; because I feel within my heart that we may have to continue to discuss about our last article; there is a god for atheist or God of the atheists, (this is the link if you want to check it out, God and the atheists, 15 we want to do this, just because we want to be sure that we had said enough about god for the atheists subject. Now that I have said that we can continue to talk about our article here, Religions are spiritual beliefs, as this is part of our religious writings of, Prayers for Reconciliation religious writings, but at the same time I believe that I need to say something for our reader’s peace of mind

For our readers' peace of mind

Now before we continue to write anything of importance about spirituality, let me explain to our religious readers that they don't need to worry at all about what they read in these religious writings, as it will be explained soon here-under.
To anyone who is a believer and believes in God and other religious beliefs, please read our Prayers for Reconciliation writings and Reconciliation of the Universe fully before you pass judgment and quit reading; you see Prayers for Reconciliation is only an idealistic theory, which through discussions with other fellow believer (and perhaps non-believers) is trying to find a way on how to link all existing religions together, in the hope that they do not fight each other’s any more, as they have done in the past and sometimes even today; Reconciliation of the Universe is the theory that might be able to achieve that.
In this hub we would like to talk about, Religions are spiritual beliefs, What we would like to do or achieve and, Praying God for help and guidance.
-------------------------------------------
What we would like to achieve
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE WITH THESE RELIGIOUS WRITINGS
We are going to set the stage for the entire world to see,
And when you read these pages you might have to agree,
That this could be the golden door of golden opportunities,
That God would be willing to give to us and to all humanity.
Therefore, I am praying God to help and guide me.
-----------------------------------------
There are good reasons to believe that a better outcome can be achieved by studying religions and the present religious situation; and if there are any doubts in our minds about what we are doing, we should pray God to help us and thus I am praying.

Praying God for help and guidance

Here I am going to pray God for help and guidance.
Now, since I believe that there is this entity called God and that there is only one God throughout the whole universe, and this God that we are talking about here is the centre of all these life energies that could or would be all the life energies in the entire universe that make life possible in the universe, while this God may or may not be different from the God in the Bible depending on how we understand the Bible, or as we have been taught to understand the Bible. Whichever way we might see our God it does not matter a great deal, because we are still believing and talking about God.
Therefore here, because we want to talk about our God we need to pray to this God of the universe in the hope that he will help us, we want to pray also to be sure that we are playing it safe and not upsetting any spiritual eternal heavenly force in anyways, so let us pray God for help, guidance and acceptance.
MY PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, to you I turn God Most High, and I start to pray with all my heart, my soul and my mind. In the name of The-Father The-Son and The-Holy Spirit I am praying, hoping that the ever present guiding force of the Holy Spirit on earth would guide and help me; So that, I would be able to write these religious writing as humanly as possible according to your will. Father, hear my prayer and guide me! Amen.
Now that I have said this prayer to God for help and guidance, I may have to assume that God has heard my prayer and makes me think the right things that I need to write. Therefore I have to assume that the first thing that comes into my mind is what I need to say, and this is what comes to my mind, it is that I have to try to find a way, on how we could start something that enables all the world religions to live in peace with each other’s first of all; then there is a second task which is that not only religions should try to live in peace with each others; but they have also to make sure that those atheists unbelievers do not win their ways and one day could destroy religions so to speak, so we have to be careful about these atheists also, because man needs God.
Now, there are reasons to believe that religious spiritual beliefs are eternal and most people have always believed in God one way or another; for these reasons religious believers need to come up with new theories to prove that there is a god of the universe, in order to defeat the atheists, even if this god is not going to be exactly the way most of us believe he is now; here I would like to add that in my lifetime I have come across some people that believe that God is just a spiritual thing, or God might be just anything, or perhaps God might even be the cosmos of the universe. Anyhow, I am trying here to put forward my own theory of God of the universe, in the hope to get people interested in having their say on religious matters, So I invite anyone who is a believer and able to write to come up with their own religious theory. Therefore, if my religious description does not agree with their beliefs, let us hope that those people are willing to say something that could help to resolve these religious problems, because I would like to hear what they have to say, in the hope of learning something new.
--------------------------------------------

Other religious beliefs

Most of us believe that God our father is the Creator of everything and drives the whole universe as He likes, since any existing things in the whole universe belongs to Him, that is everything at all: Like the earth and everything on it; like the growing vegetation on land and in the sea; like all sorts of fishes and animals, and all mankind irrespective to where a person is born and to which race that person belongs; and He is also the master of the stars and all other celestial planets, and all celestial beings material or spiritual in the whole universe.
We believe that God is our spiritual heavenly father and to Him we should turn for help when we need any help at all, this makes sense, because we have to believe that since any good father loves to help his own children; it should follows that God who is the best father of them all should like to help us more than anyone of us thinks possible, and that would happen only if we turn to God our Father and praying ask for his help; let us not forget that! Because that is the only way that God can help us, it is when we try to reach him, as at that point of time a link is established between us and God, if we don’t establish this link God could or would not help us.
Therefore during our lives, let us always pray God our Father whenever we feel threatened helpless or concerned about ourselves and also for the rest of the world, and also when we need his guidance or help, in order to do the right things and live according to God’s will.
So, I may as well start praying God hoping that God would help me overcome my concerns!
Now, let me explain myself where and as I stand in relation to these religious writings and my own background; now, just because I am a Roman Catholic born I have been taught to pray like one, and therefore, I have only been able to modify my ways of praying to a certain extend through my own beliefs. So, today I am praying to the living God who is the active God-Life-Force of the whole universe thus:
THIS IS MY PRAYER.
In the name of the Father the Son and the Holy-Spirit, I am praying and humbly asking our Father God-Most-High for help. I am praying because I feel from within my heart that I have been called to write these religious beliefs, and that I should write them in order to fulfil what I have been called to do, and by doing so I may be able to help humanity understand these religious beliefs. So, Father if it is your will and you would want me to write them; then you would have to help me, because I would not be able to write them without your help.
So, first of all I pray you Father to let your guiding force guide me to write the right things in these religious writings, and then, because I am concerned about writing them for my own safety, help me overcome my concerns and fears about writing them.
Father, hear my prayer and help me to write them, and also help me to overcome my concerns and fears! Amen.
May God help me and us all to understand his will?

God for the atheists

WELCOME TO OUR RELIGIOUS RECONCILIATION DOC; YOU ARE INVITED TO BROWSE AND TO TAKE PART IF YOU WANT. IF YOU FIND SOMETHING PERSONALLY INTERESTING LET US KNOW. just a short comment will do if you do not have much time.
-
Welcome to our blog, Religious reconciliation doc
and this post, God for the atheists
-
 The entire universe could be said to be the cosmos, therefore wherever we look we see the cosmos, so God can be part of the cosmos or the cosmos itself depending on our own personal views.



Baruch Spinoza Duch philosopher
1632-1677 he has written about God and sometimes he comes close to say that perhaps we live within God, so God might be different to the ways some religions want us to believe.










God for the atheists
Here we are going to write about a god that even the atheists might accept; but before I come to that, we need to say that there already exist, in our hub pages another description of what God could be like in hub 3, Man needs God, (this is the link if you want to check it out, Man needs God, 3 ). And now let us try to explain how we would like to see God of the future that even the atheists might accept; you may ask, what or who is this god that the atheists might accept? So let us try to answer this question of;
What or who is God that even the atheists might accept?
Now, before we start to talk about what or who is God that even the atheists might accept, we would like to point out that we have already said and written a previous article, where we believe that we have proved that God exists, (this is the link if you want to check it out: God exists, 8) Having said that now we can go back to talk about a god for the atheists.
At the end of our previous article, we were saying that we would be looking for ways of how God could be described, so that the atheists could perhaps accept the existence of God more willingly so to speak; we also mentioned that there was this philosopher called Baruch Spinoza who did not believe that God was the ways religious leader want us to believe; because Baruch Spinoza was more inclined to believe that God was something other than a person, in fact he carefully puts forward the idea that God is in everything and that we live within God, he thought that God was pandemic therefore every living thing is part of God; Baruch Spinoza’s God may also be like Mother Nature. Having said that, one could consider that, if we follow these lines of reasoning we may indeed describe a god that even the atheists might accept.
So let us now try to describe what and how God could or would be described in the future, so that most if not all of us would accept, and even the atheists could or would accept this new described God; therefore, believe it or not there might indeed be God even for the atheists.
Let us now try to describe this God, you see, if we care to put every religious beliefs together we may come to the conclusion that indeed there is or might be God, and God may well be all living things that exist today, see our hub God exists, but let us describe this god anyhow.
Just to start with, we may assume that God is all the life energies that exist in the universe, which means that every living thing is part of God, therefore no living thing can exist without God-life-force-energies, and therefore just to give a name to these life energies, we may have to call these life energies God-Most-High and this God-Most-High is the most important part of the life forces of the universe, but as we know we cannot see God or any of these life forces of the universe; so, we have to use our own imagination to describe how all this could be like, and when I use my imagination, it suggests that throughout the cosmos of the whole universe, God-life-force gives life to every living thing, communicate in his own ways with every living thing and also is able to record everything that happens and what the living do.
Just let us explain the cosmos as my religious friends and I understand it, the cosmos has those entire requisite to communicate with everything, therefore the cosmos may as well have the capacity to keep all past records, and also the present and future records of anything that happens. You see, if we are able to keep records in our own ways, it seems obvious that in nature there must be a way to keep records, since we cannot create anything that does not and could not exist, therefore, we may have to accept that we can only discover the ways of nature how to keep records, so, we believe that there must be a natural way to keep records and the cosmos is one of them and it is also the mediums that is able to pass this knowledge on to whoever is able to read this stored knowledge.
Now, let us go back to the most important part of these religious writings, which is to describe God that even the atheist might accept, we need to say here that because we have already described this elsewhere in these religious writings we will try to be brief because if you would like to see a full description you can go to our blog, http://manneedsgod.blogspot.com or hub, Man needs God, Man needs God, 3 anyhow hereunder is how we would describe God:
We believe that there is only one God throughout the universe, and this God is the active life-force energies of the entire universe; therefore, every living thing is part of this God- life-force and nothing living can exist without God, because God is life itself. This is the briefest way that we can think of about how to describe e God for everybody including the atheists.
Dear readers please note that I had once a longer description of this God of the universe, but I had to remove it from Hub Pages because of duplicate content. If you want to read it now it is in the pages at this blog address: http://manneedsgod.blogspot.com and then click on the link Hub pages duplicate content.
I believe that I have said enough in this article, so see you next time.
May God guide and help us understand these religious things?

About God and the atheists

WELCOME TO OUR RELIGIOUS RECONCILIATION DOC; YOU ARE INVITED TO BROWSE AND TO TAKE PART IF YOU WANT. IF YOU FIND SOMETHING PERSONALLY INTERESTING LET US KNOW. just a short comment will do if you do not have much time.
-
Welcome to our blog, Religious reconciliation doc
and this post, About God and the atheists
-



This is how the painter Michelangelo painted God face, he looks a very firm and just man.














Our Lord Jesus Christ is said to be the son of God and therefore also God, but this set up does not agree with the atheists, so we need to look for who or what might be acceptable as God for them.







 

About God and the atheists

 Welcome to our post about God and the atheists. May God help and guide me to write the right religious things in this chapter, being also part of Prayers for Reconciliation religious writings.
As we all know the atheists do not believe in God, so, God and the atheists are worlds apart, but most of us believe that we need God and religions, so we cannot follow the atheist ways since we believe that we need God and we believe in God, for this reason we will be trying to find a way how to modify religions, so that we may continue to have religions and God just the way it is today; at the same times we are looking for the existence of a god that even the atheists might have to accept, so let us try our best to achieve that.
As we have already said in our other posts, these religious writings are being written in good faith for the future benefit of mankind. In these writings we are in search of ourselves in a religious way, so, while we are discussing about God and the atheists in these hubs, we will also be looking for religious options that could improve links between existing religions, this might alarm some of our religious readers, so, we have written an explanation here under, for our readers’ peace of mind.
Written for our readers’ peace of mind
To anyone who is a believer and believes in God and other religious beliefs, we say, please read our Prayers for Reconciliation writings fully before you pass judgement and quit reading; you see Prayers for Reconciliation is only an idealistic theory, which through discussions with other fellow believer (and perhaps non-believers) is trying to find a way on how to link all existing religions together; therefore our religious beliefs and the existing religions will remain just the way they are today. So, don’t you worry if our religious writings could sometime sound different from the ways that we usually hear religions being preached, Because there is no need to worry about it, as it will all be explained as you read all our religious writings, and then, you can judge for yourself at the end of our religious writings of Prayers for reconciliation and Reconciliation of the Universe?
In our last posts we have talked about; Prayers and religious discussions. In this post we will be writing about: God and the atheists or God for the atheist.
----------------------------------------
Now that we have written what our intentions are, let us say a prayer to our Father God Most High, in the hope that God would hear my prayer and helps me say the right religious things, in these religious writings of, God and the atheist.
My prayer to God Most High
Almighty Father I pray you with all my heart, my soul and my mind to guard and protect me from all dangers and the forces of evil and let me be a very wise man, so that I would be able to live the rest of my life according to your will, and write these religious writings as humanly as possible according to your will and in such a way that humanity may accept them and use them one day for the future benefit of mankind. Father, hear my prayer amen.
----------------------------
We believe that there might be a god even for the atheists
This article is about the atheists and their beliefs in the non existence of God. This atheist attitude is already causing some concerns between Christian believers and atheists, and it might cause one day more unforeseen hardship to the people that believe in Christianity and God, because they might feel unwelcomed from the atheists, just as much as the atheist could feel unwelcome from the religious believers, if and when they go to a place where everybody frequents. For these reasons it might be good if there is a way that one day we might be able to show the atheists that there might be a god even for them, of course this god has got to be close enough to the atheists own beliefs.
Therefore, in this article we are going to put forward a new theory that there could even be a God for the atheists, that the atheists might believe in, if we fail to do that and we are not able to convince the atheists about this possible god existence that they could believe in, there might be many unseen religious problems in the future.
For these reasons that we have described above, all religious believers need to be ready for these events that might happen soon or later if atheist beliefs cannot be changed, because there will be a day when the atheist might win their way so to speak, that day will be a hard day for the believers. So, if and when the atheist win their ways and God as we know it now might not exist anymore, we should still try to find our way back to God, because mankind needs God, so, we should explain our religious position to the atheist in such a way that even the atheists would be convinced that indeed there might be a God, or perhaps that we really need a god, even if this new found or made up God or modified God is a bit different to the God we know now, in the hope that the atheists might even become believers themselves of the new modified or made up God.
After all as we have said already, Man needs God, and perhaps God needs man, otherwise what does a god mean if there are no followers? And also, what will those people that rely on religions for guidance do if there is no God and religious guidance?
------------------------

Talking about the atheists god

Believe it or not, there might even be a god for the atheists
So, let us talk about this possible god or impossible atheists’ god
Now this question arises, what sort of god could or should be like for the atheists to believe in the existence of God? Would it be possible that they might accept a god, if this God is simply the life energies of the universe, just because the life energies of the universe cannot be denied?
Now, dear readers, allow us to reflect a bit on what we have already said in last article called, Prayers and religious discussions, (this is the link if you want to check it out: Prayers and religious discussions, 14 It seems to me that there were two main issues one of which was/is that, religions and God is hope for those who need hope most, the other most important issue we discussed there was about the atheists.
As we all know the atheists are people that don’t believe in any sort of God or religions, and they believe also that the world could be better off if there are no religions at all. Personally we don’t agree with their ways of thinking, therefore we have to say that we could not believe anything they might say ether, because we have reasons to believe that mankind needs God and religions, it has been so since the beginning of the known world, so let us describe briefly how we see the history of religions hereunder.
You see, when we look at the history of religions, we cannot avoid noticing that there have been many religions in the past, which have lasted for a while, then something changed and also religions changed every now and then, so, what was believed for a short while or perhaps a long time slowly died away and was replaced from another form of religion. Perhaps not completely new but at least modified; so religious beliefs may be able to modify with time without any harm to the religions themselves. Therefore, if one believes that history usually repeats itself, if we allow enough time for it to happen, then there would be no harm in changing some religious beliefs, as we have tried to explain herewith.
Of course, now these religious questions arise; Are we at that stage when religion needs to change? What should we do if they need changing now? It might also happen that religions are slowly changing by themselves and there is nothing that we can do to stop that, but one day we may have to accept this new religious way that they have become; for this reason should we ask how and why they are changing?
Of course we know that there are a few causes that may changes religious beliefs, and one of these causes is that today everything is changing very fast, and changes bring in other changes as we all know, so religions may be changing as well.
What is the main cause one may ask?
We have reasons to believe that today the computer brings knowledge to all people very fast, this new knowledge makes people ask questions, because they want to check out for themselves everything; so, soon or later they will not be satisfied about their own religious beliefs, because they can see some aspect of religion that does not make sense, and therefore, they will start abandoning the existing religions, unless these existing religions change in a way that satisfies the people beliefs and they are according to the modern values that people attach to them.
Now since religious change is going to happen soon or later and we believe that one day it will be inevitable, we need to think what sort of ‘God’ people would accept in the future.
Therefore, hereunder is a description of God of the future, which the atheist people might even accept, as it is a lot closer to their way of thinking.
Anyhow this post is becoming too long, so we will talk about this God for the atheists in our next post. See you soon.
May God bless us all?

Gino's comments

WELCOME TO OUR RELIGIOUS RECONCILIATION DOC; YOU ARE INVITED TO BROWSE AND TO TAKE PART IF YOU WANT. IF YOU FIND SOMETHING PERSONALLY INTERESTING LET US KNOW. just a short comment will do if you do not have much time.
-
Welcome to our blog, Religious Reconciliation Doc
and this post, Gino's comments
-

Now this picture represents God as a man. God here seems so powerful, is it just our imagination that we see God thus?








These are Gino's comments
Dear readers to understand this post you need to read our previous post of, Religious discussions, so that you can follow what Gino is saying or in a way commenting on our previous speech and this is what Gino is saying:
Let me talk about Mark speech first: I have to say that Mark and I agree on most of these religious issues, so there is no point in repeating them, I only would like to say a bit more about the last group of people who we call the atheists, as they need to be noted about their ways of thinking and speeches, I would say that any religious believer should avoid talking to any of them about religious matters, because soon or later those atheists are inclined to ridicule the religious beliefs of the believers, and because, they are usually good intelligent people, it is hard for any average religious people to defend themselves from this group.
They attack believers usually by asking proof of the existence of God or any religious matter, so Mark is right when he calls them the danger group of religious beliefs. We really need to think hard how to defend ourselves from this group, if we want to save religions and keep religions as close as they are today. Let me show you a few examples about what they usually talk about to get the believers off guard.
You believers say that God is Omnipotent, now if God is omnipotent then god should be capable to do anything at all no matter how difficult the task is.
Now, there are many things in the world that need to be fixed, why your god does not fix them? For these reasons we say that your God most likely does not exist at all; and/or he exists He is definitely not omnipotent, or he is not willing to fix anything, so your god is not your fatherly benevolent god that you say he is. Therefore your religious beliefs are flawed and you would be better off if you don’t believe in your God.
We say and believe that we are right to assume that there is no God and religions are there only to control people, now since religions fight with each others, it would have been better if religions did not exist at all. Do you see what we atheist mean?
This sort of reasoning goes on with many gods attributes and they challenge the believers to give proof of the existence of God and its attributes. So it is hard for any believers to give proof of God and its attributes. How can any believers give proof about God?
And god omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence and many other God attributes?
This is how the atheists attack any believers with this sort of reasoning; they do that because for the atheists God and religion would be better if they did not exist. What can be done to change their attitude is hard to say. But then if nothing is done it can result in more harm to the community, because they will slowly make the believer deny their God.
Now, let me see what I can say about what you just said Frank, I can see that you are trying to find a possible solution, but what sort of solution you do not know yet, it is just as I was saying it is hard to know what can be done; I have to say that there are times when I think that today’s religions are missing the point, they don’t know how to keep the people believing what they have always believed; because times are changing, but religions are not changing at all, as they fail to see the need to change.
Therefore I understand you Frank when you say that something needs to be done, and I say also that perhaps it is time to do something about it and find a way around it. Looking at what has been said, I see something that perhaps can be done, so, may I suggest that we start to read the Bible bit by bit and comment among ourselves how many interpretation can we give to that part of the Bible, it might turn out that there are interpretation that can apply to these modern time.
I hope I have explained myself clear enough in this difficult task.
Your speech is clear enough for me I said; then I turned to Mark and asked: what do you think of Gino speech mark? His speech is very clear for me too; in fact it is just about what I would have liked to say myself. But now, where do we go from here I don’t Know?
-------------
I suppose I need to say something myself now about what we have talked about; what I see here is the need to review what is written in the Bible, and also think hard if what is written in the Bible was write at the time it was written, but today it may not apply and therefore we may need to adjust things, as the needs of the day suggest.
--------------------------------------------

Frank's comment

FRANK THE WRITER COMMENT
Mark and Gino, now that we have seen and talked about in these religious discussions, and what you have found for yourself while talking to people on these religious subject, what religious people think and what atheist think, I hope that you may have changed your previous opinion, and therefore, now you might be thinking more like me; which is that something needs to be done to help religions find a way of peaceful existence, if peaceful existence can ever be found.
We have to agree that, to achieve complete peaceful existence is not easy the way religions are today, therefore, I believe and I hope that you agree with me that religions need to be reviewed and brought in line with the present times. I have to say that at this present time nobody wants to listen to our religious approach, so there is not much that one can do presently; but one can always start thinking about the possibilities, if one day something can be done to solve this religious problem for good.
I believe that, the only way that this can be achieved is to come up with a theory, which allows the existence of all religions as they are today; but at the same time finds a way and be able to shows it clearly to the people that all religions are one link of the same chain. I know this is not as simple as it sounds, but if we keep looking we will find the way to show people that we are looking for. Under here might be one of them.


This is the portrait of  the philosopher Baruch Spinoza who thought that God could be different to what the people of his time thought God was like, but he could not say much, because he could upset the powerful church.









Now let me say this: while searching the Internet, I have found that there was a philosopher called, Baruch Spinoza, 1632-1677 who believed that it is more likely that God may not be just the way that religions want you to believe nowadays; but it could be that God was more like Mother Nature therefore it is more likely that we all are part of God and God is everything or at least every living thing in existence.
So, let us see what this sort of reasoning takes us; Let us assume that God could not be exactly how we have been thought god is like today; then it may well be that God is more like what Spinoza believed god was like, this may very well be the link that we need to find in order to link all existing religions together.
Therefore, if we think a bit like Spinoza and add to the knowledge which we have today, we might be able to describe a god which could co-exist with all religions together.
So, let us put out minds together and see if we can describe this God for all; which we could call God-Most-High. Mark and Gino, what do you think of my idea?
My friends Mark and Gino said; well, it seems a bit strange to us, but your idea is an idea and it might even work, so, let us try to make a list of how this god-most-high could be; just to see if we are able to find a way to Spinoza thinking about, what is God?
Very well I said; you see, a while ago I was thinking this same thing, so I have already written something about, what is God? So, I am going to show you soon what I wrote:
I think we have said enough in this post, but we will continue with these same religious discussions in next post, see you there.
May God help us find the right religious way? For this reason I will be praying God to help me with this prayer:
Almighty Father, I am praying you with all my heart, my soul and my mind hoping that in your mercy you would guide and help me, Father hear my prayer, amen.

Religious discussions

WELCOME TO OUR RELIGIOUS RECONCILIATION DOC; YOU ARE INVITED TO BROWSE AND TO TAKE PART IF YOU WANT. IF YOU FIND SOMETHING PERSONALLY INTERESTING LET US KNOW. just a short comment will do if you do not have much time.
-
Welcome to our blog, Religious Reconciliation Doc
and this post, Religious discussion
-
Generally people have all sorts of meeting where they try to talk their differences, in our case we are talking about religions and religious people beliefs.




Religious discussions at the meeting
Dear readers, to understand what follows here we need to explain that this is the continuation of our last post, so, you need to read last post and then read this post. 
Anyhow after greeting each other and all other niceties that occur every time good friends meet, I, Mark and Gino made ourselves comfortable and started to talk about the agenda of the meeting, and I first of all asked them;
I guess that you have come just the two of you because any other friend does not want to take part in these religious talks? Is that right?
What is the matter with them? Are they scared or something else?
Don’t they see that we are talking only and nothing is happening? And nothing will ever happen just by talking and trying to make sense of the whole religious situation that exists today.
Dear friends changing religious meanings is not new, we just have to look back at the times of Our Lord Jesus Christ, to see that even Jesus tried to explain religious issues in a different way, but the religious leader of the time did not want to follow Jesus, so they crucified him. 
Anyhow other people not coming it does not matter much, and perhaps we are better off without them, if they worry too much about exchanging religious views or beliefs, in case they say the wrong things, we don't need them.
But now tell me, what have people said if and when you have talked to them about God and religion, and also what has been happening lately?
Here my friend Mark was ready to answer me and he had a nice surprise for me, when he said later on that, ‘God is hope for those who need hope most’; and this is what he said overall:
--------------------------------------------

God is hope for those who need hope most

Mark reply
Well, most of the people we have talked to are not interested about talking religious things, and those who are have expressed themselves in many different ways; but let me break these people beliefs in groups so to speak, so that a better picture can be seen?
So, first I have to say that a lot of people believe in God and religion just the way it is today, this portion of people does not want any change in religion, so they are happy to stay with the ways religions are nowadays, and if they have any doubts in their minds they are not showing it. So, it would be a waste of time to talk to them unless you agree fully with their religious beliefs.
There is also a portion of people that have doubts about today religions and they are ready to talk about it, some of these people don’t feel sure whether what is being taught about religion is all true, so, they are believers but with some doubt in their mind and heart. You can talk to this group of people but they are not much help, if you want to find or formulate any new ideas.
We have also noted that right in the middle there is this large group of people, which believe in God and religions only up to a certain point, these people usually would like to know more and ask all sorts of questions, in the hope that they could find their way how to return to religion fully one day, as they seem to feel that religion is still important to them in many ways; sometimes these people seem to want to follow religion just to have a sense of belonging to a group, as they like to have friends and religion gives this opportunity to them.
Then there is at the extreme end of this middle group those who believe very little in religion as it is today, so, they are asking too many questions themselves about religions, they are agnostic as they believe and at the same time don’t believe in God and religions, one does not know what to do with this group, and yet they are the most interesting ones, just because they would like to know more. That is all there is in this middle group.
And then, there is this last group of people, which I would call the danger group for religious beliefs, they are the atheist, they don’t believe in God and religions, so, for them it would be better if religions did not exist. They are usually very intelligent people and have a good job, so for them there are no worries in life, therefore, they don’t see the need of God and religion, just because they don’t need God and religions, as they feel secure within themselves; this well to do group starts putting forwards all sort of stories in order to blame religion for some of the bad things religions have done in the past, but they don’t see that mankind have only to blame themselves, because no religion tells its believers to directly kill, or do anything else that may harm anyone.
But then, also attached to this well educated atheist group, there are a few people that are poor uneducated people and they don’t believe in God just to protest their bad luck, as they are not happy about what the world is giving them, so, they see the need to believe only in themselves; now, because of this belief they may become the worst of mankind, because they don’t have any respect for humanity, and also they don’t have a God or religion or any other sort of inbuilt restrain within them. I could say more about this group but I think it is better that I stop here and see what you think about it all.
Having said all this, now I only would like to add what I have learned from all this enquiries; and I want you to remember how I see religion now, as this may well be important from now on, if we are going to talk about religious issues, because I believe that religions are important to keep, it may not be an universal human belief, as we have seen in the example of the atheists; but God and religions are still needed today for those people that are unfortunate, as they feel within their heart that they need God to protect or help them. For this reason God and religions are needed, because; God and religion is hope for those who need hope most.
So, remember that;
Religion and God is hope for those who need hope most.
I said, very well said Mark, and so did Gino at the same time.

Comments on Mark speech

My comment on Mark religious speech
Now, let me see if I got it right, so let me say something about what you have just said Mark; and then of course I am going to say how I see religious issues today:
Looking at what you have just said, we agree with you about this erratic people behaviour, so, when we take it into consideration, it seems to me that overall today people are not so sure about religions any more, we could say that they are not as sure as they were in the past, therefore as we can see today religions are not as powerful as they were in the past, because people just don’t believe just anything religious leaders tell them; therefore, they want to know and understand religions for themselves, so they start thinking and ask themselves what are religions for? Because of this trend there are many who doubts about the value of religious beliefs altogether, so, they are splitting up in smaller groups and everybody tries to be with their own mates so to speak.
Because of this religious movement there are some extremist groups like the atheists as Mark has pointed out that do not believe in God at all; this group would like to see that God and religions disappear from the face of the earth altogether, because of their non beliefs in God. I have to say that these atheists may even succeed one day in bringing religions down, if the rest of the world does not do anything to stop this movement bringing down religions. If that is the case, what the good citizens of the world should do to restore a balance that would prevent this event happening.
Well we need to do something, because there are reasons to believe that it would result in a great religious chaos, if we let the atheists have their ways; for these reasons I believe that the world cannot afford to suddenly stop believing in God and religions and follow the atheists views. For this reason I suppose we should think about something that could help everybody in this community continue with their religious beliefs, after all religions are still important enough even today, because as Mark said; Religion and God is hope for those who need hope most.
Perhaps we should look at the reasons why these atheists are what they are today; we can only assume that religions as they are thought today don’t make sense to most of them any more, because most times religions really don’t make sense even to us; but religious leaders still want people to believe what they believe or what they want you to believe even when it cannot be explained by common sense.
So, one has reason to believe that this religious leaders attitude is perhaps part of the reason why people are moving away from religions. Having said that, this question now arises; if we want this movement to stop happening to religions what can we do about it?
Well, what we can do is hard to say, but we have to look closely and then decide what could be done. Personally speaking for myself, I believe that we should review the ways that religions are taught today, we need to see what the future generations would like to see in religions and what they would like to change in order to still believe in religions. Perhaps the best way is to go over existing religious beliefs to see whether they could mean something else, or they have a double meaning and choose the meaning that would not drive people away from religions. What I have just said is one of the reasons that we would like to sort out in the future these religious issues, while we continue to write these religious writings.
Then I turned to Gino, and said: Now that we have heard what Mark had to say and you have also heard my views on it, what do you think of our speeches? And what have you found out for yourself? You can say what you want now it is your turn to speak.
Here I  believe that this post is becoming too long, so we will write Gino answer in our next post called Gino speech. See you then.

Religious discussions and prayers

WELCOME TO OUR RELIGIOUS RECONCILIATION DOC; YOU ARE INVITED TO BROWSE AND TO TAKE PART IF YOU WANT. IF YOU FIND SOMETHING PERSONALLY INTERESTING LET US KNOW. just a short comment will do if you do not have much time.
-
Welcome to our blog, Religious Reconciliation Doc
and our post, Religious discussions and prayers
-
In this world there are so many religions, perhaps it would be helpful if we would be able to come up with a religion that links all existing religions together.

Within our selves there is this need to pray God when everything else fails.













DISCUSSIONS AND PRAYERS
In order to achieve what we would like to achieve in these religious writings, I am praying God to help me. Almighty Father, hear my prayer and help me, amen.
In this article we will be writing some prayers that have been designed for the future new world order, where God is explained in a different way, in this future way God expands and becomes the life force of the entire universe and this prayer here under is one of the prayer that might apply to this new religious way.
My prayer to God for this article
My lord God, here with my personal writing concerns I come to you praying Father-Most-High master of the universe and life-giver to every living thing, I am praying thee for forgiveness of all my life sins and reconciliation to thy spiritual and eternal life force, I am praying in the hope that you would forgive me my sins and you would hear my prayer and help me; I am praying with all my heart my soul and my mind hoping that in your mercy you would guide and help me write this article of, Religious discussions and prayers according to your will and in such a way that these religious writings could be helpful one day to all humanity. Father, hear my prayer and help me amen.
Since we are talking about prayers here, I would like to add another prayer that I usually pray every day of my life, in order to feel that security within myself, since by praying I feel that I have done the right thing spiritually and God may help me to achieve what I have to achieve with these religious writings.
Prayer 2
Almighty Father I pray you with all my heart, my soul and my mind to guard and protect me from all dangers and the forces of evil and let me be a very wise man, so that I would be able to live the rest of my life according to your will, and write these religious writings as humanly as possible according to your will and in such a way that humanity may accept them and use them for the future benefit of mankind. Father, hear my prayer, amen.

Religious discussions

Dear readers I have to confess that I feel as if I am being driven by an inner force to write these religious writings of Prayers for Reconciliation; therefore, after thinking for a very long time and reflecting about this God sent task that seems to be within my mind all the time and never lets me go; I have come to the conclusion that perhaps I would never find peace within myself unless I fulfil my desire and continue to write about these religious beliefs; here I need to add that there are a few reasons why I have started this wanting to write something about religion, but still I have not been able to explain it fully, but I am sure that I will soon be able to do that, perhaps in this article or our next article. Anyhow, today I have decided to talk to my religious friends again about religions, in the hope that they now may have come to see my task in a more favourable way, and so they would be able to help me somehow.

So, I have called my friends to let them know that I would like to see them and talk to them. Now, while I have been waiting for them to arrive, I have also been thinking that it could be a good thing to write down the reasons why I have started to write these religious writings, so that while we would be discussing these religious issues, we would be able to understand the situation better. Therefore, I have realized that one of the reasons why I have started to write and need to write these religious writings was/is, that perhaps I see God somehow different from everybody else, and I also see or understand the Bible a bit different from everybody else; therefore, I need to explain to my friends what I think God might be like, in the hope that by explaining that, my friends will understand me better and so be able to help me with their input or their approval or disapproval.
Here I stop to think why I am seeing these religious things different, and surprise myself that I am denying some of the main reasons why I wanted to write these new religious views, here I find that one of the trigger of wanting to write these religious views or beliefs in a new way were one the atheists and another one was the shock of the 9-11 terrorist attack on American soil. I know these two groups are completely different in their religious beliefs, because the atheists deny the existence of God, but the Muslim terrorist believe in their God to the point of carrying these terrorist acts and killing themselves in the name of their God Allah, it is very strange that these two groups who have nothing in common, could be neutralized by using religion in a slightly different way, anyhow this is how I see this problem could be solved.
There are other religious reasons
Of course there are other personal religious reasons, I suppose you may be asking yourself why this has happened to me, so, let me first inform you dear readers the reason why I started to write these religious writings; well, it has been for my own personal reasons that I have started to write these religious writings, as I have been writing them as my personal prayer to our spiritual Father God Most High, therefore, these writings are being written as my personal prayers to God Most High, which I pray from the bottom of my heart, my soul and my mind, I pray every day of my life, while I am happy and while I am sad and distressed. Therefore within these writings here will be lots of prayers: In some of these prayers I’ll be praying God for forgiveness in order to become purified, and therefore become worthy to become God’s servant and therefore to write God’s things; and then again in another prayer I’ll be invoking help from God so that I would be able to write my religious writings the proper way, and in some prayers I will be asking God to protect me from the forces of evil; because the force of evil may try to take me away from God’s spiritual life force, therefore it is important for me to beware the forces of evil and pray God to help me. Here I believe that I have to explain again that my beliefs are based on a new way of understanding God, or God spiritual life force of the universe so to speak. Therefore there are many new ways of seeing things and praying prayers, and hereunder is another one of my prayers;
Another one of my prayers
My lord God, with my personal concerns I come to you praying, Father Most High master of the universe and life-giver of every living thing, I am praying thee to send me an angel from the realm of glory, who would suggest me how You helped to create life on earth and everything else, so that I could be inspired and be able to continue to write my religious writings the proper way. Father, hear my prayer.
This is another thought that came into my mind while I was waiting for my friends to come at the meeting, we need to define better, why we need religions and what could be God of the future like? Anyhow, I have to stop writing now, because I can hear somebody at the door, I can hear the voices of my friends, so they are here now.
