Religion's Log

This log was created for comments about religion. Please note, I respect all religions.
However, I don't respect hatred, murdering, pillaging, or smittening, or anything that hurts anyone.
My only rules are "Be Kind", "Don't Hate", and "Eat, Drink and be Merry, for we'll all know the truth in the end".
Everyone's opinion should be heard, and discussed. If think if something is good for life on this planet, then it is good.

 Life  GENESIS - One possible view.
In the beginning, god was everything.
He existed as a union of both everything and nothing. A single entity. He existed in the form of thought.
God had no mass, energy or time as we know it. His universe was peace.
His was the universe that we would call Heaven.
This was a place where there was no movement, no beauty, no music and no pleasure.
And perfection is lonely. And god said to himself "Is this all that I am. Am I nothing more".
With one thought, god created everything we see.
With the power of a trillion suns, God exploded himself across the universe.
He created polarity.
He created mass, energy and time.
He created the living and non-living systems.
Within the non-living systems:
He encoded subsystems of memory for everything that occured to the form.
He left ways to decrypt the systems existance.
Within the living systems:
-He encoded little memory, ingnorance, the will to survive, to replicate and discover.
-He created the concepts of chaos and order, pain and pleasure, life and death.
-He divided himself into an infinite number of life forms.
-Each entity would view god from their own worlds.
-Each would record a different perspective, to help decide gods next creation.
And with these life forms that god could break the silence of perfection.
These polarities were designed to reform to recreate Gods heaven.
With everything recollected, anything that exists in the universe can be recreated.
God is learning from us. You are a part of him.
We are all the same, but we were born to be ignorant, and to be diverse.
We are here to teach God all of the unreasonable possibilites that can exist.
We are gods children, and we are here to entertain.
Given a life of immortality, given everything that exists, wouldn't you do the same thing?

 Life  Which 10 Commandments Should We Obey?
Protestant
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
