JUST PHILOSOPHISING - ON MATTERS OF GOD AND HUMANS AND THE NEED FOR MORE OR LESS RELIGION. PART 4.










That should or could tell us that, the probable problem with religions is not that, like politics.  They are failing and will always fail to deliver any of the wondrous 'out of this world' events which the deceivers and the misguided have claimed for them. 

In this respect, except for those religions claiming that sentient life persists beyond our death.  

It is not the religious message per se, especially when it speaks of us doing 'good' and not 'evil' to our fellow humans, which is misplaced. 

It is the conditionality of making 'our salvation' dependent on the invisible and unsubstantiated gods.




In order to bring  'heaven' to Earth, and in the life time of humans, all of us humans must take full responsibility for the challenge of doing so. This does not have to be a mission with any religious underpinning.

To leave it to 'God', or the gods, is to recklessly and hopelessly relegate our rightful responsibility for our and others welfare.  

In the knowledge that not that what is desired cannot really materialise, unless we, or our own endeavour, build it. 

It becomes a matter of the neglect of personal and organisational, even societal responsibility. 




A matter of us failing to do what we should be doing for our own and others personal and social development.  On the basis that 'God' has it under control and will make it happen, magically, at some future point. 

There is simply no evidence that this has ever happened, or, indeed, that it can or ever will happen.

Indeed, it is rather ironic and paradoxical that the faithful, of all theistic religious faiths, should continue to believe in the 'magical powers' of their gods. 

Considering that everything or most things in their history have pointed and attested to the 'powerlessness' of their gods. There is a saying that, 'behind every successful man, their is a woman.' 

To be continued!
