@InfraBlue,
I do not think "religion" - what it is today can even be linked to the "god". It serves no purpose
And I think that "religion" and "god" are very different concepts from each other.
God may still exist even if religion does not. if we think of God as the basis for the existence and nature. God can still exist without religion.
God is basically good but religion portray God as evil !
and
it should not have been a requirement that says "like this you must be"
You should be able to be the one you are and still manage!
BACKGROUND :
1.It is through that there is not a specific requirement how you mus be who we instead have space and all the time can change / improve ourself. The way you said that you should constantly be on will soon not agree to be after ( mode is changed and more , science ) , or if they said you have to constantly be on the way but so is the environment changing, then you can no longer be that way. You should never say that so must yo be because the "truth" will pretty soon be replaced by a another one. They made it to the truth that the earth was flat and the earth was at the center with more but was soon adjusted . It will never end adjustment of the "truth" . Therefore, everyone should not be forced into a single "truth" . It can serve as temporary " truth" but never constant truth and a lifetime is so short therefore you have to be after the way you have found valuable.
Reality is so multi-dimensional and consists of so much. The religious system that people are trying to create will soon prove not hold (although they may persist for long as a lie) .
3rd. Think of a wave. it moves in a certain way and then knock down . If one prevents the wave from moving he prevents the wave way to succeed in cracking down .
4th. If a tree , a flower, an animal are forced to grow in a another way than they really naturally would have done, it will not grow good .
5th. If a tree , a flower, an animal are forced to be in another than they really would naturally be, that it will not be good.
6th. Becuase " A dog will never be a good cat ."
CONCLUSION:
All this (1, 2, 3 , 4, 5 and 6) is an example that God is basically good but religion portray God as evil .
Religious system leads to the opposite of what is described in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 , 4, 5 and 6.
and makes it appear as though it is God's desire that individuals should be restricted.
Religious systems do the opposite of what is portrayed as desirable and good in 1, 2, 3 , 4, 5 and 6.
Because the religious system forcing individuals into a single temporary " truth" , and forces them to be , behave and express themselves from these temporary truths / laws that they say are permanent / eternal and universal . That is to portray God as evil by saying that they are permanent / eternal and universal .
the idea that truths are constantly being replaced by new truths is all about the stories and systems of the stories that surround us create a sort of temporary truths that controlls our thinking if we do not resist!
that we can constantly learn more and more and thus always able to improve our way of being .
inscrutability makes us free and makes life valuable and rich .
All could have a large inner universe to develop their thoughts etc. but religions have prevented it (so that Sunday school diminishes and furnishes a soul's
universe )
The religious system that people are trying to create will soon prove not hold!
(although they may persist for long as a lie ) .
It is an example of that God is basically good but
religion portray God as evil .
