I am sitting at home on a friday, because the doctor has said so; also, I have to lose weight, before I can start gaming. So I'm in this philosophical mood. Here's some thoughts to ponder on. Agree or disagree? (I am a universalist and sort of a Kemetist).
Necessary Uncertainty: The Final Event: The Existence Of God Cannot Be Proven
An angel flies over the great oceans of the earth, in its wake following a blinding white light, which staggers and amazes both believers and
unbelievers alike. Soon the great nations and religions of the earth will want to claim this Final Object for themselves; soon wars erupt, fighting
for the exclusive right to behold this creature and make it their own. God cannot do everything; his powers are limited by its creation. The universe is imperfectly perfect, the imperfect parts forming a perfect whole, by necessity; God cannot be conclusively proven, by necessity; human groups or civilizations claim religion as their own, by necessity.
A Solution?: The Oscillating Universe
Perhaps a bizarre idea, but it will proof my point that God cannot do everything. At every major foreboding and potentially nefarious event, God halts creation, recreates it without the foreboding event, and lets creation continue again. Obviously this did not happen, for World War 2 did in fact happen. God's powers are great but limited. Evil exists; men has Free Will. Humans possessing free will, it follows that God cannot know the future either, for it is partly based on the choices of creatures endowed with free will. God can, in a general and broad sense, estimate and conceive possible futures, which was done so in The Book of Revelation, a true diamond of religious literature.
All Religions Are True; The Unity Of Religion
Many a scripture and myth has been distorted by the hands and minds of men, after it was revealed to a certain people or tribe. The Bible, in my eyes, is a collection of revealed truths, and of books written by the hands of men. Some passages have been inserted, after it was revealed; other passages erased, after it was revealed. I estimate the Old Testament is for only fifty percent revealed; the New Testament, being much shorter and given to humanity by Christ the Savior, is for eighty percent revealed; the other twenty percent was written by man's hands only.
Abrahamic religions are mostly revealed by the prophets of yore; pagan religions are mostly based on divine personification and observations of nature: both are a delight to God, The Only One, The Nameless One, the creator of Heaven and Earth, of religion and humanity.
A Common Claim By Religions: We Are Right, All Others Are Wrong
Most people, being not very intellectual, cannot comprehend the universalist view of reality. If God revealed in an idea to a prophet that only their religion is true, He did so in the supreme knowledge of what is right and lasting; for, a religion that claims to be but a part of the truth, might perhaps not succeed, although Hinduism is, or certain branches thereof, very tolerant, universalist, and successful. That religions claim theirs is the Only Truth is, perhaps, a necessity of creation, human nature, and civilization.
Nazism & Communism
Nazism was diabolically syncretic and fictitious, certainly not revealed by God; communism was godless, and, as is well known, very deadly, barren, inhumane. Godlessness leads to conflict and emptiness; fictitious religion to complications and cruelty, being not a Work of God but of men. Religion is necessity.
