Contrary to the values and projections common to men, great souls and god(s) are neither interested in or gratified by groveling, being catered to our worshipped, but that which brings about the greatest harmony to all things, and the joyful freedom it brings. There is something everyone honestly needs to ask themselves, especially the religious who believe they will go to paradise following certain guidelines: "Would I be good or as good without such an incentive if I knew there was nothing after life"? Since all religions stress motive and purity as the ultimate state, what perspective, intent or path is purest or more purifying: That of the atheist or agnostic trying their best to be good regardless of what circumstances they may find themselves in after life, or the faithful believing by adhering to one of many wide-ranging doctrines their eternal happiness and security is assured? It should be noted, as great as the prophets were they had major advantages; They knew where they came from, their purpose, and where they was going, and one such as Christ, all the answers to the ambiguous tormenting questions the rest of us continually face. Aspiring to whatever brings about the greatest harmony - And goodness, being by its nature self-manifesting, while remaining open to possibilities to enabling continual growth would seem more crucial than constricting requirements or promises of a Godly/heavenly existence etc. Given a realistic possibility of errors, alterations and deletions, through the ages or exploitive motives and conflictional variances along with limits of understanding of existing dogma, and the assumption of a compassionate divine entity, would such an approach not be acceptable, or even preferable? | ||||
