Is the time for believing in an almighty God at an end?

Christians are still killing Christians in northern Ireland and Muslims are still Killing Muslims in Syria and Africa. I China, Vietnam and Malaysia the killing are political but rooted in religious differences. Every faith in the world is fragmented by numerous factions with their own agenda.

religious slaughter is happening all over the world.

The numbers of people attending Christian churches is at an all time low and interest in the Muslim faiths that require a certain dress code are not passing down from parents to children. The Pagan beliefs is the fastest growing faith in the world. Most young people do not willingly attend religious services of any faith nor do they believe in any of the established religions.

The downfall of the Christian faith is due to disillusionment, the Bible has lost its' credibility and the inability of prayers to stop evil is loosing millions of believers every year. The followers of Buda, Confucius and Tao are diminishing rapidly. Surely the days of brain washed blind faith must be over?

    Is the time for believing in an almighty God at an end? Yes.

    Surely the days of brain washed blind faith must be over? No.

    The prayer is not the thing because there is nobody to hear it, but utter innocence and trust transforms into totally new beings, so fresh, so childlike, just like roseflowers opening in the early morning sun in all their beauty.

    Where is religion? Only the coins of irreligion are circulating here as religion and it is only bad coins that demand faith. Faith is demanded only where discretion is not favourable. The murder of discretion is faith. But neither the blind men are ready to accept that they are blind, nor are the faithfuls ready to admit that they are blind followers. The conspiracy committed by the blind and their exploiters has almost cut the very roots of religion. There is show of religion and practice of irreligion. Have you ever thought over what you have been telling these old persons? Whatever be the life, the thoughts must be pure at the end. Can there be any other thing more dishonest than this? Is it possible? Only the essence of life, which has passed, can appear before consciousness at the time of death. What is death? Is it not the fulfilment of life itself? How can it be in opposition to life? That is only a development of it. That is only the fruit of life. All the imaginary thoughts will not work. And the person who exploits these terrified people is always there. Then, is there really a name for God? Remembrance of God is merely a state of feeling. The state of feeling in which pride is eliminated is the proper state for remembrance of God. He alone who keeps shaking off the dust of pride from himself for the whole life can ultimately find the clear mirror of pridelessness. This can't happen by uttering some name by mistake. If somebody, believing some as God, keeps on searching Her for the whole life, even then his consciousness, instead of getting filled with the light, will be filled with ignorance. The mere repetition of a word does not awaken consciousness; it puts it to sleep.

    So a new man must be born! The soul of man is anxious to scale the heights, to reach the sky, to be enlightened like the moon and stars, to bloom like a flower, to make music, to dance. The soul of man is in anguish; his soul is thirsty. But man is blind. He travels around and around in a vicious circle: he is unable to break out of it; he is unable to rise above it. What is the cause? There is one cause, and one cause only: his present process of procreation is absurd; it is full of madness. And it is so because we haven't been able to make sex a door to samadhi. One enlightened sexual act can open the gate to samadhi.

    If belief in an almighty God is dying then the instrument of it's death is logic.

    Assume that God created man as stated in the Bible. Given that God is omnipotent and omniscient and that God created man with an obvious inherent flaw of disobedience one can draw only two conclusion:

    1. God could not create man without flaws and is therefore not omnipotent and not God

    2. God purposefully created man with inherent flaws to see if man would obey implying that God did not know the outcome prior to creation thus proving that He is not omniscient and therefore not God.

    When you apply logic you quickly see that the description of God's own actions show that He cannot possess the very attributes man has assigned to Him as the definition of being God.

    Pessimism is never an answer. Times are always hard, some people do not live up to the standards, but the standards continue as a goal that must be striven for.

    Yep, it's almost there. I've personally converted. I now worship Harry Potter. He's a great man. He defeated Lord Voldemort so that us muggles could be free. It's probably true, because it's in a book. Just like the bible :-)

    And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

    That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
