God has a human face : Comments

By Peter Sellick, published 21/12/2015

While it is popular to say, in an intended peace-making turn, that Christianity, and Islam believe in the one God, it is apparent from close inspection that this is not true.

Another article which shows how some creations of the human mind differ from other creations of the human mind. Of course the imaginary being that Peter accepts is vastly superior to the imaginary beings that some other people accept. Obviously Santa Claus has it all over the tooth fairy, and humanoid Gods are better than non-humanoid Gods.

God has many human faces:

Every event is an event in God as any one of us is of the substance of God. Jesus was simply one of the few who were constantly and fully aware of this and one can only be saved by realising this same Truth.

It does however require both effort and grace to wake to this realisation.

Yutsie": and one can only be saved by realising this same Truth.

Saved from what/which truth. A Hell. A human Invention. A for ever reincarnation something else, Hmmm, I can go along with that. One disintegrates in the ground or is burnt to ash where one is broken down into the Basic Elements, Then is taken up by grass which is eaten by a cow, which is eaten by a Human, which is turned into an egg or sperm & becomes another human, or a frog, etc., etc. Hmmm where have I heard that before. Oh, I know, Harry Neilsens "The Point."

The Point is, some people believe in A God or Gods. It's a belief that takes Faith. That doesn't make it a Truth. One persons Truth may not be another persons Truth. In fact some peoples Truths have other people rolling in the aisles with laughter & vica Versa.

God has different face that human beings cant see it. Because he lives in heaven we cant see him until we finally die. And he will pass judgement on how we were when we were alive. If we were bad, no heaven, and if we are good then we live in heaven and happy for ever.

People who say God not there thats Ok. People who say God is there thats OK as well. People who believe in God will be allowed to be with him if we lived a good life. If we are bad he will not let us be with him. Don't believe, your problem. Do believe, you will meet him when you die and you'll be very happy for ever. Your choice?

I Misangthrope,

All gods are illusions, invented by people. We live on this earth for one life, then we die, forever. We are brought into the world by our wonderful mothers, and if we are lucky we are able to say good-bye to our children and grandchildren. So while we are here, we do what we can for our fellow human beings, enjoy ourselves as much as we can within that guideline, then the worms get us.

Live life to the full while we are here, the one life we are all entitled to, and then say good-bye; OR wait throughout our one and only life, in the hope of going somewhere else 'afterwards'. Your choice.

Joe

Misanthrope: Don't believe, your problem. Do believe, you will meet him when you die and you'll be very happy for ever.

& what are we all supposed to do for the next Quintazillion years plus. Dance around in a white robe looking at one person & singing "For he's a jolly good fellow." ? Is that your Idea of being happy? It's my idea of being bored out of my white sheet for a Quantizillion years.
