Addiction #28 – Religion (Part 4 … God knows no religion) 05/01/12
Regardless of what each of us believes about the nature of God, most can agree that He (or She … or It) is a Universal Presence; an energy that encompasses and enfolds everyone and everything.
That having been said, it is relatively safe to say that God — especially the God of “perfect Love” commonly worshiped by most followers of most of the world’s major religions — has no religion of His own.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that such a God would have anything against our religions per se …
In fact, such an all-Loving Presence would certainly think that being a Christian is okay; though being a Christian who critically judges others because of their race or their spirituality or their sexual inclinations — not so much.
And such a God would certainly think it fine for some to be Muslims; though being Muslims who choose to destroy the lives of others in the name of Allah — not so much.
And such a Divinity would certainly feel that being atheist is fine as well; though being a atheist who shames or ridicules or otherwise disrespects the spiritual beliefs of others — not so much.
It is time to remember that we are all ONE …
… and that the only way we can ever hope to satisfy “God’s Will” is to act accordingly.
