Ok, very good and respected points and thoughts.
As observances and statments of expression of My Truth:
1. So true. But keep in mind that religion is man-made.
2. Sometimes, yes. Espeically the bigger, more commercialized churches and congregations. It's all about preaching, not sharing or involvement, or even for that matter admittance to anything "wrong".
3. Both. The fact that they conjur up a personalized definition does not make them wrong, but it's what makes them feel comfortable. Although some can lack in open-mindedness.
4. God created Man: "in the image and likeness of Him", as offspring, pieces of Him. Man recreates God in every moment in every experience.
5. Can you discuss that more in detail, I would like to hear your thoughts on this. Religion is a comfort thing, as I see it. It's a way of faith and an organized belief system to make people feel like they are on the right track in life. I sense a lot of fear-based teachings in many churches, which I have never understood, because it totally steers off course from the Old Testament beleifs.
6. Jesus is not the so-called "only" son, as, like I said in #4, we are all created in the image and likeness of Him. God divided Himself up into smaller pieces (Souls) and gave them form (bodies). And we can communicate with both.
7. With God being infalliable, we are infalliable, but religion has given us the division of "right" and "wrong". We have been given free will to choose without judgement by an "all-loving God", therefore, how could there be right and wrong? How could there be judgement? I observe religion to be very contradicting and on a hypocrytical rhythm.
The essence of God does not have form- God "is" in everything: God is the Energy that binds and moves all things. The energy changes, yet stays the same, thus having Humans change, yet stay the same, as well. Energy can do different things, move at different speeds and all directions, and change its pattern, yet still BE energy (staying the same). There is nothing wrong with you, you are heading on a path to realizing your Truth. You are questioning and wondering, and that is a helpful tool in evolving.
God IS everything. God IS Science. God IS Evolution. God is the Source which provides Life. We recreate it. Reamarkable and fascinating, but not impossible.
The way that we are brought up in life is a religion itself- it is what we are told that we base our decision upon instead of listening to ourselves and asking ourselves what works for us. Some think it's the easier route to simply live a life around what they have been told by parents, family, friends, classmates, churches, etc.
