After humans, & other creatures, with the entire 'Kabum' were made (if 'made' were true) He the "maker" or "designer" went on to other stuff to occupy (?amuse) Himself. AND we the 'makees' became as we are now.
In the time since, mann! have we obsessed, have we delved, we made life hard, tough & completely irrelevant, & unnecessarily complicated, attempting to solve, decipher & work out our ideas of our relationship with Him & to justify, find a cause for our being here.
We had to know if there is any reason, other than the obviously unacceptable reason for our existence;
which is -
need there be a reason?
It is a fact, mostly unrecognised & unacknowledged if recognized, in this context: that any kind of analysis or study, of a mechanical object, for instance, a washing machine; that even if one were able to tear down & put it together again repeatedly without detracting from or disabling its function, the likelihood of arriving at any understanding of the nature & especially the personality of the machine's maker is almost not there. And the reason or intention of the maker would be even more nebulous to arrive at!
General presumptions, based on unsubstantiated derived observations, might indicate a liking for cleanliness, preference to simplify the washing process using water as a cleaning solvent or a tendency to utilise electrical power with moving gears incorporated in a mechanical system. Other than these characteristics derived from clever 'guesses' of analysing/studying the washing machine, hardly anything much on the nature or personality of the maker can be even guessed at with any measure of certainty.
That only a washing machine!
Project that same line to our weak human attempt to figure out, quantify, analyse, dissect or put God under the 'scope'; by studying ourselves, our earth's wonders, & every other related processess to derive at His persona, so to speak :- would bring us to, as they say - a fine convoluted, complex, confused mess of assumptions, with basically as many, perhaps more, unanswered queries than satisfactory answers.
And thus was promulgated a whole culture of man-set institutions, called Religions, centred on Divine worship, supposedly based on values, which are as impossible to authenticate as were the original queries for our being here !
And the practice of religions, has historically been seen to be extremely genocidal, divisive & generally contrary to the Goodness, the LOVE (AGAPE - awesome word) Man associated with a God!
It now is time enough - after more than 2000 plus years since the birth of a certain god-related persona - for all created creatures with that kind of thinking process, that kind of inclination, that kind of gratitudinous, guilt laden psyche, to start dwelling perhaps on a different track.
To move away from the very obsessive thought on the who, what, why, when & other related but completely unnecessary theorising on the reason for our being here …. especially on the character of, the personality of, the nature of the Maker, Creator, Designer - the one who has no mentionable name!
There has been in a manner of speaking too much, to long, too exhausting (too death-ful) a focus by us on the subject of our origin, purpose & other unessential 'Kabumies' associated with us beings & Him.
We are no doubt aware of numerous very practical philosophies of living.
Many practices & philosophies & life-styles (not in same sense as 'religions' which claim unsubstantiable, yet true - connection to God) which have been worked out & practised by man through the ages that did extremely well for the entire goodness of man as he lived out his physical earthly life.
These life -styles has brought neither derogatory blasphemy nor unholiness to God & the principles Religions claim as Divine or God-associated!
Spirituality aside, as beings with a material and non material make - i.e. a 'body' with tangible matter, and a virtual spiritual psyche, it is crucial for the very brief period of our existence here to make the best we could of a potentially rich, wonderful opportunity for a marvellously, uniquely, incomparably exhilarating, rewarding beyond imagination kind of experience; in a wondrously created environment called Earth!
We need not thus deprive or detract from that wondrous opportunity of a rewarding experience by our un-profitable, unfruitful, purposeless, divisive, death-dealing & already shown to be 'cul-de-sac' meanderings on the spirituality of the Maker & His Purpose for our origin !
THUS to make live simpler:
*Would it not suffice that if there were a reason, a cause, or justification for our being here, be it divine or not, it would be made known to us - in good time?
*Would it not suffice that for the time we have been allotted - not very long- by foregoing the aimless quest for that reason, we would have a very much more enriching life on this wonderful Planet, as perhaps we were meant to?
*Would it not suffice that there might all along be no need for any reason - divine or scientific - for this entire 'Kabuminess' ...?
*Would it not suffice since not one religious group is RIGHT or WRONG & since none has any authenticable advantage over the other - to just call it a day, & live as the so beautiful
Isaiah 11:6 say "… And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them…." ? The verse is used with no Christian or religious intent.
For those on fire worshipping in a religious setting - God bless you and your devotedness.
This is not anti-God
This has no relevance to the divine (as generally known)
It is a desire to live out the earthly life given creatures, in the most beautiful, most wondrously created environment called Mother Earth, in the maximumly possible pursuit of adventure, happiness, tranquility, painlessness, joyfulness, fulfilment & perhaps when it all is over & done …
to arrive at :-
THE TRUTH
THE COMPLETE
THE PERFECT
all in good time.
