In the name of God or Gods - Are Religion
contradictions divisive?
This is something strange: - all religions teach love, and all religions end in hatred. All religions teach the brotherhood of man, but they only create enemies of each other. All religions teach that every man has a potential right to reach God, but practically they say: Only our religion is the true religion. Yes, every man can reach God but he has to reach through our way: They seem to be competing shopkeepers — everybody is trying to sell his thing: his holy book, his messiah, his god
The ONLY constant is change. And the funny thing right now is that technology is like a personal trainer pressing the UP arrow on our treadmill, speeding up the process and causing change to happen faster than ever. We’ve got to keep up or we fall off! Every move we make is setting us up for what’s next. To be successful you have to be in control, use the present technology and be aggressive. Anticipation is power.
There is a story of Satan and his disciples who had for some time been keeping their eyes on a man who was engaged in the quest for truth. They were understandably anxious and had been watching him closely. One morning, however, the disciples rushed to Satan to inform him that the man had attained truth. They were quite upset.
Satan consoled them, saying, "Don't worry. Just wait until this news spreads from city to city; People will flock to this man; they will take the truth he has attained and frame it in codes and creeds, and then they will organize themselves into a sect; you have nothing to worry about at all." It is those who claim to be religious who have divided humanity.
Perhaps Satan has led man to believe, from the beginning, that if there is any bad work to be done all he need do is find a good banner under which to do it. The worse the deed, the better the slogan he requires.
