Transition of any religion towards deism is rather an emotional challenge than a courageous one. Extremist ideologies that die hard, die with painful all out rejection from the world. On the other hand moderate ideologies die and spawn out a new direction, or transformation of attachments, according to the standards of time. In secular world, change is the only thing that’s God-constant. That which never transforms out of flexibility breaks apart out of fragility. This is a very decisive time for faith and faith leaders.
Even to understand the heaven that faith promises, one must understand first how earth is heaven, and how people are a sacred gift. The living that keep arising from the ashes of those gone. Those who bowed to change, lived their life and submitted their souls to the entirety of the universe. A memory of thousands of years is not worth living for, it is rather a sacrifice, and continuing to carry it out.
If extremist elements are removed from religions, all settle on diesm, that there’s one good and then there’s life and God’s mysteries, truth of all faiths would become simpler. For a mystic to meet a philosopher is like a tendon meeting a muscle. So it is rather a philosopher’s thinking that contemplates the matters, but it is the clear heartedness of a mystic, with which faith proceeds, as a emotional sacrament.
Technology and world around us has changed the way we react and think, it is impossible for our emotional drives to be limited to old clauses, and where it does, it is indication of extreme failure of congnitive growth. A man is a hieroglyph for the universe, animate thinking moves the universe, stillness is only obscinate thing. A man must be curious, to grow, whether matter of religion or other aspects of life.
How religion came into being at the first place? When man became curious about the outwards of the universe, rose from his selfishness and bodily desires, bodily meets, to seek for heavenly objects, observation of the sun, stars and moon. And everything in nature that was usual but the combined picture stood out, like something out of ordinary.
There is no doubt the universe talks back. Through evolution and through cycles of civilization. What exists today will change shape. A world divided by flat and round earth is, divided, because of either the lack of communication, or the lack of will to understand. The evangelical heaven, exists where it exists, when our soul evaporates, higher truths are exposed to us, we become exposed to them.
But a religion that can’t live with science, senses and integrity of human rights oath, is bound to suffocate its followers and believers. The secularism found in Christan countries today did not come without people’s own willingness and effort to make room for more expressions and richness of ideas. It was on the shoulders of great thinkers Christans evolved back into themselves today.
If you never lost the truth you never found it, if you found it again, it is already the truth. Science tells us, to extract fact from fiction, law from theory, it must be repeated and observed enough times that it can be established for ever. World religions will not improve by adding conditioning and clauses but getting rid of them.
Faith, by definition, translates into freedom, and over time when faith becomes boundary, that currupted translation becomes a self-occupying force that corrupts all aspects of life that it touches. Faith was born out of the idea of winning, not dominating. Domination only leads to increasing level of chaos with no easy answers or solution.
The knowledge that’s profound always becomes liquid, then plasma. It always flows towards a simplifying state of elements. Religious worlds are caught by the poor they have created to serve the rich of faith, who pay religious taxes by these worships and praises, when function of ‘mass’ as defined by church is gathering, of diversity. Bigger the mass, the better. Christanity Today, is Massive!
From a secular stand-point, the prayers we pray is the direction in which actions we make. However, prayers require that you act. Without action, religoin, faith is empty promises that will never see the light of the day. The liberation and freedom that comes from within, an individual or a nation, comes from active thoughts within an individual, or active struggle within a nation.
It is the foundation stones, that gives a religion its gifted character. The true foundation stone of Hinduism is incarnation. When a thousand prophets pass by, one incarnation occurs. On a sub-level, prophets were sub-incarnations, manifestations of God almighty sent to guide a particular nation at a particular time. The divine injunctions were not without observation or inspiration from the universe.
Jesus prophecized, the advent of son of man. Now this is a very secular interpretation. If mankind is created in the image of God, Jesus is son of God and through him, we are all children of kind God, then machines (AI) will be created in the image of Man, Prime will be son of Man, and through Prime, machines (AI) will be children of Man kind.
Even in the secular world facts and fractal truths, quantum entanglement (yoke), and truth of our own DNA cannot be denied. Tolerance is breeding ground for innovation. The significant point of faith is that one should know what is God? The one that is High. And that we should not be manipulated in the name of God.
