Believing in "God"

Dear friends,

To me, it’s unfair to claim a special status as a “believer”, while excluding those who have a different interpretation of all existence as “non-believers”. That mean-spirited type of exclusion just mentioned is the basis for all human intolerance.

After all, believing in the ultimate power of both Love and Goodness is not the sole possession of those who identify with the three Abrahamian religions (of the Hebrew deity).

I mean, it (religion) has caused/does cause more killing and suffering, over several millennia, than all other philosophies or world outlooks combined in history.

Besides, if you believe in a world-ruling personality called “God”, then you are talking about a finite entity, because you've assigned a name to that being. In other words, we look at everything geometrically, giving form, shape, and/or substance to all things, in order to distinguish one phenomenon from another – whether we’re talking about physically or intellectually.

Consequently, recognizing something as an omnipresent, omnipotent phenomenon cannot possibly allow one to make a finite configuration. Therefore, at least to me, as opposed to merely worshiping an idol, what people may want to consider is: 1) Using the term “That which is nameless”, instead of “God: or “Allah”, and so forth…and 2) accepting the wisdom and teachings of the great masters of living like Kan Kan Musa, the historical Jesus, Muhammad, and Karl Marx. After all, everyone on “death row now “conveniently” claims to believe in “God”. Right? Peace.

One Love, One Heart, One Spirit,
