Beware the Rampant Animal, Disguised as Religion

The beast, dressed as a lamb, insidiously nuzzles its way to the jugular of humanity. Baaa, baaa... as its victims bleed. One by one they become little beasts, fostering the much needed, self-perpetuating lie. The lie?

God says, "You are guilty. You must repent or perish!"

herald angelOne by one, we fall for this lie. For generations we've all  been taught we are "lost," and our ONLY way out of this state is religion, that rampant animal telling us what God expects us to do. Of course, it's not that clear cut. While many voices clamor for the first chair in the choir, none are singing the same notes, even though God is supposedly their director. Yet we are expected to believe in and trust such a schizophrenic being? No wonder we're so neurotic.

Belief in a God who is at once loving, caring, giving, yet also judgmental, angry, and punitive is enough to break even the strongest among us. We would never tolerate such a parent, much less a God. And this God is so capricious that He (ostensibly) sent his only begotten son to SAVE us from our sins (whatever that means), but would also "zap" us if we crossed the line one time too many (wherever that line happens to be). How can we worship such a being?

Are you beginning to see why the human condition is so deplorable? Centuries of mixed messages regarding right and wrong, good and evil. With such confusion, is it any wonder we kill each other? Truly, the disparity between the "two faces of God" has created such a horrific chasm that we are all falling into it. 

Indeed, anything remotely resembling "inherent good" is all but lost to us. False faces, dishonest and corrupt priests, politicians, educators, businesspeople, parents, spouses are all caught up in the uncontrollable spinning of an out of control society. Only with a total and complete end to man's erroneous belief in a schizophrenic God can we find hope.

Hand of GodOur belief about God is the foundation of all man's ills. And the real kicker is that this God doesn't really exist! Some authority created Him; a capricious God to keep the bleating sheep in line. Then they added a "God says" book, nobody will argue with. They topped it off with the concept of reward/punishment, heaven and hell. What a way to keep people in line.
And the myth continues.
