A person is a reflection of their culture, of what they believe and how they live their lives. A bridge between the past and the future, between time and space and needs to try to keep them in harmony, less they become unbalanced. Not to be aware of the past and give it due consideration in the building of the future can distort the future. Neither is it wise to sacrifice your future because you choose to live in or as if you are in the past. One World One Human Race One Destiny (OWOHROD)

JUST A THOUGHT - ON GODS AND HUMANS, AND THE NEED FOR THE GOD/S BE TRANSPARENT AND ACCOUNTABLE! PART 3.
To be put up to the scrutiny of 'independent and vigorous examination.
Just as how the religious hierarchy all over the world, to varying degrees of intensity and scale, is being called to account for their and their religious establishments.
It is not enough to arbitrarily set the ceiling of accountability and transparency at the human heads of the religious establishments.
This is not how it is done in other areas of human lives. Accountability and transparency is expected from the very top of each establishment.
For whatever reason, there is a tendency, in all or most societies, it seems, to all too much tolerance and levity towards religious fraud and corruption and exploitation.
There is this tendency for the law to seemingly be applying the Christian proverb about 'giving to Caesar what is his, and to Christ what is his.'
Except that, in its contemporary application, it usually means allowing the minority of corrupt and fraudulent 'religious' charlatans exploit the gullibility of the religious faithful, for financial gains and power.
This tolerance of civil society towards religious diktat does not end her. It is also prevalent in how the law and society have become tolerant and diffident.
Toward the unfounded and incredible claims which religions make for themselves, and use to deceive and exploit their followers and others.
The religious faithful is able to go about their business and make wondrous and often times.
In the case of the charlatans, fraudulent, claims about their gods, without a jot of any proof, from either themselves or their gods.
Indeed, it is almost as if there is an unwritten, probably celestial law, which loudly proclaims, or has to be assumed, that.
Whenever it comes to matters of religion or faith, the law of exceptionalism should be applied, and 'no proof is required.'
So, returning to the issue of accountability and transparency. Why should us humans not expect, even demand, that the god/s should be accountable to us. For the claims which have been made on their behalf, and, we are also told, at their instigation?
To be continued!
