I have noticed that when any post about 'god' is put out there...a lot of heated posts get started. I understand that NOT everyone has the same view of ANY god. Each religion has a god that fits their needs, at that time in their life. I have also noticed that should someone not agree with another's view of their god, or even believe in a god, they are attacked. To me, religion is a way to control the masses. Keep the followers scared, you keep them in line. Why?

Why would ANY god want followers that are totally afraid of them? Why use fear techniques? Why abandon your creation? Why make up and bring a bunch of rules into play, knowing they cannot be followed 100%? You know...look but don't touch, taste but don't swallow, do as I say, not as I do. Why kill your creation just becaused they pissed you off? Would not mass murder make a god no better, or even worse than the creation that he/she murdered?

History teaches us that Christianity for example, was not founded by Jesus, but rather by Paul. Who, by the way never really met Jesus. He just claimed he did. Paul was heavily influenced by his current path which was Mithraism, a sun cult. This is possibly where he got the sign of the cross from. NO human living today truly knows if Jesus was crucified, impaled, or even roasted alive. The Roman Soldiers were left to their own devices to be as cruel, lingering, and painful as possible. And they were very good at it.

There are hints to his death in the KJB, which were mutilated and enhanced by the Council of Nicea under the guidance of Constantine. Who by the way, never was a Christian at all. He just wanted a religion to control, and unify his empire. What humanity got had little to do with anything the Son of god was believed to have done or taught.

Once one gaines a higher perspective in such matters, they can find the same threads running through many religions. Like the Rites of Jupiter underpinning Abraham. The bread and the wine, a part of Jewish and Cristian Rites as well as those of Bacchus. The horns and hooves of the devil, came from using Bacchus' rites as a bad thing. Just think about the Party god.

No religion comes to be in a vaccuum, and often the old gods become new ones with different names, and sometimes they just become. As an antagonist of the new is the Serpent, and the Satan, which were both deities before. As was Lucifer, The Bringer of Light. Oh, and just to let you know, Lucifer is also known as the Christmas star. You gotta love that one!

The modern day Satan is more closely aligned with the Egyptian concept of Set. That evolved by the XXXVI Dynasty into the enemy of Horus, and associated with his former enemy Apep, the Serpant. Who was often shown wearing a red mantle. Just a little food for thought.

So ignorant are the ones who preach the loudest! People need to wake up and smell the coffee. Every main religion depends on some type of superstition to keep members in line. Much like the original basis of government dating back to time unwritten. Any valid religion requires no priests, no church building, no hierarchy. A hand puppet would be more than enough for a position of leadership.

Oddly enough, I have yet to see anything, from god that says "Hey! I'm here!" Or that god even cares about what goes on on this blue marble. Maybe it's true...god moved on. But, if the angels were left in charge...from everything I have read about them...the clock IS ticking! You know those archangels only understand bloodshed and war.

Just remember human thinks with a unique perspective. They must each search within their own basis of knowledge, and deal from individual strengths and weekness. Nothing should ever be interpreted as the great truth or revelation. It simply shows that your journey does not end here, it merely just begins.

One of the greatest mysteries is how humanity suddenly emerged into great civilizations in such a short time. Well they surely did. The evidence is out there, you just have yet to find it by ignoring that which is right in front of you all along! Seek and ye shall find.
