Religious freedom

Most people are occupied with religions. Maybe because it is modern or because they search for an answer to the existential problems, which torment only one small amount of people of the population of this nice and beautiful planet. Why religion is so popular or unpopular? We have more interesting things to do than to occupy with religion. But nevertheless we occupy so often with it. Maybe because it was the rule and the order and the truth for so long and we don`t want to be restricted and if restricted to know why, because of what and maybe because religion is the door to the unknown. And we know the unknown so often is very attractive. Secrets are attractive. But the domination of religion in our life recently came to an end. God is dead. Dostoevsky dethroned him. Now we are free, but we want to believe in something. Our mind is thus constructed that it has to be a way, a rule, logic that explains everything. Now we are free to believe in whatever we like and to fell happy. To fell not restricted by someone. Now The New Age is coming. It is a new kind of relation to God. Now we are allowed to speak to him, to be angry at him, to curse him. He will forgive us. Now in that new religion everybody depends on himself and has his own religion and behaves as he likes. (There is term New Age and it is a 21st century religious current). Maybe that`s freedom. And if we must obey the rule of freedom everybody can believe in whatever he wants but not disturbing or manipulating the others. That`s real freedom of belief. The church always wanted to control the masses. Now everyone can choose in what to believe. And the rule of freedom is kept as long as he does not try to manipulate others to make them his followers or slaves, because the option of power often obsesses the minds of people. I am ready to accept even a worship of one flower or tree but if this doesn’t disturb the freedom of others. If somebody wants he can worship a stone or an animal but this must not be developed in religion trying to convince some followers or manipulate peoples` minds, which are so confused living in this hard reality. If somebody believes in something it must be only his decision and he to take the responsibilities of his decisions. He must not try to get followers to become a guru or what ever, to use the suffering of people or to use those, who want to be saved. There are so confused people with so many sufferings and unanswered questions. It is a crime to use their weakness. They just want to be happy but they don’t know how.

I believe in free religion. Everyone to do what he thinks it is good. It is the best religion because you are not afraid of punishment, you just are yourself and if there is Great Power she will accept you because you are its child and it is always ready to forgive as they say. That is why I don`t accept Islam. It is good religion, teaching people to be good, giving some rules, but it is transformed in a device for manipulation. Every man has free will and chance to be unique why we must be restricted by some people, not by religion, but by people? In the Bible is said “Don’t give to the man fish, teach him how to fish.” Why someone has to tell you what to do. Everyone has the right of free will. You can fish, you can decide when to fish, you can not fish at all, you can fish every day several times. The choice is your. The biggest opposition of free will is manipulation. Everybody has his own head. He can precisely decide what is wrong and what is bad. We have such a society, which had given so freedom to everyone of us. Why somebody must tell me how to behave. It is a medieval practice. That is why I openly criticize Islam. For me that religion used in this way gives only pain and blood. The soldiers of Islam, they even don’t know for what they are fighting for. They are zombies. They are used in the plan of their own supreme rulers. For them it is convenient to have such a war, to have such restricting rules. But who suffers - the ordinary man. I worship these warriors who give their life for their sacred deed and beliefs. It is great sacrifice. If you think, this is the greatest sacrifice one man can do - to give up from their own life in the name of others for an idea. Ideas are …..the highest. Materialism has no place here. So people die for ideas and those ideas serve to the materialistic rulers of these countries. The fair fighters and believers are heroes, all these Arab hara-kiri-s. They are God blessed. But unfortunately they are used by the masquerade of their rulers who don’t want educated people who want ignorant zombies in order to make way to their politics and further wealth gaining. Because for them it is never enough – the rule of materialism. They want more and more. And the opposite the idea rule – they don’t want anything. The Arabs are betrayed by their own high - placed rulers. Innocent people die and these tycoons get more and more gold and money. For them it is convenient this separation to Arabs and rest of the World. They make it themselves and use religion for excuse of their deeds and to move the point of importance and truth. They need ignorant people in order to rule the masses as they like. They preach praying to this God who I am sure doesn’t accept what they do. But he is silent. Is he?

I believe in religion tolerance. Why we can live with Buddhists, Confucians and Protestants and Orthodox followers and Catholics and we can not live with Islam? Why in 21st century we have religious wars like in the middle ages? Maybe that is convenient for someone. For whom I don’t know. But I advocate for religious tolerance, because all we are humans and suffer equally and are happy equally. Why we must destroy each other for so dogmatic principles? God as we know him is long time ago dead. God transformed as our society transformed he as a clever man doesn’t go far behind, he renews himself to answer to the problems of the 21st century man. God is smart and rules smart. This what is operating in the Islam world is one machine which wants by old dogmatic and undemocratic rules to dominate. Everyone can believe in whatever he wants and whatever makes him happy and better man but he must not try to convince people to follow him or to manipulate them using them for his own interests. Religion is for the good, not for war. It is to make us better, to help us in our development. So believe in flower, believe in wind, believe in sea, be good, keep your inner spirit calm, do the best you can but not try to manipulate others, do not try to convince them to do something for you. Vice versa do something good for them. You are free. Make other free too. Give them the option to reach their own truth. Don’t manipulate, don’t use people. God said he is ONE. In all religions he says he is ONE and ONLY. This is the simple answer. All religions, preaching one and the same in fact are one religion and their God is ONE. He himself gave us the key. The key - religious tolerance. He is in us, we are in him and he is us and we are him. We are small Gods, we create, we imagine, we make art, we make and the beauty and the ugliness. We can make everything what he did on this planet. We can reach the skies and be angels and we can go to the hell and become demons. All is about us. And we must not deny the church. It was useful but no any more. It must transform either. You saw that in the 2000 year nothing happened. The church was one old, scarecrow. But it is not useful now. It is dieing institution. It has to coin new political and philosophical line. People are on a higher level now and they don’t need scarecrows anymore. They are developing and now they must struggle with their own conscious and themselves and with others. Every man knows enough now to make his free choice and to bear his punishment. Everything is in our hands and we must rule well ourselves. The punishment comes in this life. If you think about this a bit you will see. You can’t deny that there is no justice here on Earth. Think what you do and what will follow because the punishment is here and now. You can not be bad all your life and to expect good, except if you are a lucky person. But those are so few. So think wise. Do what you think it must be done, what is good and what will be in synchrony with your soul. Be your own judge and your own saver.

Everyone must do what his soul thinks it is right to do. Try to make your own rules with which to feel comfortable. Not messing with others. Not greedy for power. Because the highest devotion is self-denying, rejecting of your own ego in the name of others. The same Christ gave us this example. Life is a theater – said the old thinkers. Now we can say that life is a PC game or matrix. Both may be true. Some don’t realize it, other do. But nobody knows why we are here. Maybe to reject our ego and to do good to others not waiting gratitude. Why people so rare say "Thank you!"? Why, when they are so happy when they receive this so rarely given "Thank you!"? So be kind and tolerant and try to make people happy although you will hear this "Thank you!" very rarely.
