What is God`s religion? by Miraj Khaled |
postings
 
Elisabet Sahtouris: Technically, God doesn’t have religion. You see the word religion comes from the Latin religio, which means tying back to origins, connecting to source. If God is the source, God can’t be the one to connect to source. Religion is something humans do to find God, not something God does. But if you want to know what is the most God-like religion, I would say because every mystic in history has seen God as love and light that the most God-like religion would be a religion of loving each other, of caring for each other. The Dalai Lama has said, “Don’t give up your individual religions. We need a diversity of faiths and religions and religious practices in the world. But everybody in the world can practice the common religion of kindness.” Being kind to each other, if we were all kind to each other we’d all be eating, we wouldn’t be living in fear, we wouldn’t have any terrorism. Kindness is a wonderful religion and very much God-like. |
Ervin Laszlo: I wouldn’t say God’s religion. I would say God’s objective, or God’s ambition for the world, or God’s creativity. That I think is the evolution of the cosmos, evolution of all things in it, from atoms to humans to galaxies. That is the objective; that is the ambition; that is the ultimate aim of divine creativity. That’s as far as we can come as human beings to understand it. by Ervin Laszlo |
Esther Mwaura-Muiru: I think God’s religion is to love, to share, to care, to protect. It doesn’t matter whether you are Hindi, a Muslim, a Christian. All are God’s religion. But I think the bottom line is love, sharing, caring, protecting. And that’s the religion. But I think we have decided to describe our own religions and to serve our own self. But if there is that one true God that all of us believe in, if we do, whether the God is a tree, whether the God is the God we don’t see, that superhuman being, I think the true religion is that we must love each other, we must share, we must protect each other. |
Fernando Solanas: I suppose the religion of God is the preservation of life, I suppose it is this way, if I call nature, and the most precious things nature has brought, life. And if I talk of the preservation of life and nature, it may well be possible that the religion of God is common well-being, the well-being of life, the development and progression of life. By talking about life I am not only talking about the well-being and the development of humans but about nature and life, a life that consists of thousands of species, animals and plants, of thousands of universes that are unbeknown to the vain humans, they know nothing about their language, their feelings, their instincts, their codices of communication. A furthermore we still know nothing about all that exists beyond earth. |
Fred Matser: I think my sense is God has no religion. God is [hisness]. God, in a way, is the creator of the cyclical evolutionary laws of nature, and he is the God of the law as well as God is expressed through life and death. God is in the face of everybody, in the smile, in the cry, in every expression of the human face, in the expression of the manifestations in nature because nature or the whole time-space creation is a creation of the divine, God's creation. Once I heard a question that was -- no, I read a question in a book [Mirada], where the student asked a teacher, "But, please tell me about God." And then, the teacher said to the student, "But, please do understand that the power beyond birth, blooming, decay and death, in itself is not born, doesn't bloom, doesn't decay nor dies." That is the power of God. by Fred Matser |
Galsan Tschinag: The real religion of God might be nature. But if we are faced with God, he will be so gracious to take our religion to be his own. If God is meeting a Muslim, he will tell him Allah is the religion. If God is meeting a Christian he will reckon Christianity. If he is meeting a Buddhist, he will say Buddha is his God. But if he is together with me, with a heathen, then he will say, nature, that is thy and my religion. |
Geert Lovink: I'm not a believer in God, nor do I believe in religion. So, I'll probably pass on this question to those who do believe. by Geert Lovink |
Giora Feidman: Well, we start for that – we start from the point the religion was invent by men; it is nothing to do with God. I say, of course, God don’t have religion and we rush to the exceptional ridiculous situation. There are society like in Ireland--I give you only one. They are fighting from 200 years because every side say that his God is better than the other God. One say to the other, “My God is better than your God.” As you see, God is God and God is only one. And God can be already don’t take care about us because God give everything to us and he gives the freedom to connect with this energy and give the freedom to accept it or not to accept the [inaudible]. As I say before, this is the real meaning of a democratic life. |
Gladman Chibememe: God’s religion, all religions are God’s religions. There is no one religion that can claim to be the only religion that belongs to God. The deity is a universal deity, we only differ in the way we pray or we associate ourselves to God. So, I don’t think any religion can claim by themselves that they are the only legitimate religion. I can understand if we say we have people who pray differently, but pray the same God. So, we have different ways of getting to God, but all of us - all of those that people who believe in a religion, who will be doing it towards a deity who is God. So, there is nothing entirely which we can say, this is precisely God’s and this is not God’s. -- You shouldn't do that to God. He's your God, he meant you to be here. |
Govindaswamy Hariramamurthi: God’s religion? I don't know if God has a religion. Every religion that we have known has said nothing different from each other. The underlying values that each of these religions have [and created] the humankind to respect each other, to be compassionate and if religions have become a problematic aspect of our contemporary life, it is those who interpret religion in their narrow agenda have made it that way. So I don't really think there is one God's religion. I am born Hindu, I could have been born a Christian or I could have born a Muslim, but it's in our ability to practice the true values of our religion, which have the underlying values of mutual respect and compassion and love. |
Hans-Peter Dürr: There is no God. God is a symbol for something what we cannot express in words. That’s why there is also no God’s religion. We have to imagine that God is something that is not a nescience, but something that is generally beyond our knowledge that has no quality of being known. It’s like when we pose a question: what is the colour of a circle? Is it red, green or blue? No, it’s neither blue, nor red, nor green. It’s also not colourless. The question about the colour of a circle is absurd, because a circle knows no colour. Many of us cannot understand it. They take a pen out of their pocket and draw a circle on a piece of paper and say: look, this circle is blue, isn’t it? Yes, the circle drawn by us is blue, but the colours come from our pen and not from a circle. The colour of a pen is the religion, with which we express the divinity, but we cannot draw the circle ourselves. It is something that has nothing to do with colours. And there are so many religions as colours, with which I can draw a circle. |
Harry Wu: Religion is an odd issue. People have been aspiring to various religions since the beginning of history, such as Christianity, Catholicism, Buddhism, Islam and many other religions. However, I think, God's religion is quite simple, that is, people can be at an equal position and be free, democratic, peaceful and prosperous. I think this is God's religion. by Harry Wu |
Helena Norberg-Hodge: I believe that God's religion is the religion of oneness. Of the love that enables us to feel a connection and interdependence with everything else that lives. So I believe that that is God's religion--the unity, the connection and the sense of that through love. If you look at almost all of the spiritual teachings they remind us of the oneness, of the interdependence of all life. And whatever God's name is, whether we call him Buddha or Mohammed or something else, again and again we will find that the message of the spiritual traditions is the oneness, the interdependence and that love and compassion allow us to experience that sense of oneness and connection. |

Irina Yasina: You know, I think that religion is [sadness]. You can say it another way, you can say that there is love in religion. Nobody can explain it, but without doubt this is the [sadness]. by Irina Yasina |
Jerry Mander: Well, I’m pretty sure God doesn’t have any of the normal religions that we think, that the religions think God has. I’m inclined to believe that God’s religion, if you can answer such a question as that, is not Christian and not Jewish and not Muslim and not any of the popular religions of our time. I’m inclined to think that since God came before these religions he or she, if he or she exists, clearly is very involved with nature having created the world, or being involved in the creation of the world, or there at the creation of the world. That whole entire process is revealed and that is nature and that’s what – that’s probably what turns God on, if I can put it in so un-religious fashion. Didn’t it say some place in the Bible that God created the world and then looked at it and then said that it was good? And so, I don’t think there was any religion attached to that particularly, and I think God’s creations in the natural world are what matters and probably matters most to any god that exists there. That’s also the native view I would say, the native spirituality, native religion is oriented toward the natural world. That is where God exists. by Jerry Mander |
Jesper Green: Okay, the answer to that question is, is there a god? by Jesper Green |
Jodie Evans: What God? Who is God? So I don’t know that religion is the path, the attempt to connect to something that’s divine, something that’s bigger, something that’s unnamable, something that’s the mystery and so I’m lost with that question. For me religion is the thing that separates us from the divine. It is meant to, I think, in many ways has been created to connect us to the divine but as we see it instead is being used to control, to obfuscate, to separate, to --- anything than what I would think of ideas of God, or creator, divine, they don’t jive for me. Religion is a construction of man. by Jodie Evans |
John Gage: Monotheism. I think that this question drives to the fundamental values that make any broad sense of human spirit valid and important. At the foundation, lie the values of compassion and forgiveness. So, that is what a God, an entity that expresses something beyond human beings, would incorporate at the foundation, compassion and forgiveness. by John Gage |
