Ding Ding Ding, that’s my commons sense meter going off,
sorry about that! The above statement is of course a
regurgitated mantra of most all religions depending of course
on the name of the savior in that area of the world. The
statement is of course written in the book of reference for
each religion.
Why why why must humanity need someone to follow, or
chase as the case may be. Watching 5 minutes of any news
broadcast will make this point obviously clear, be that of
Brittney Spears or Nichole Richie who have already taken
way too much time out of my life in these mini news casts.
And why does the media address such insignificant people
and events in the first place? Because most people like to
chase someone, it is a painful truth but a truth nonetheless. .
Could it be that in the history of man there have been some
exceptionally spiritual people who really stood out from the
crowd? Well of course my common sense says YES. And
then could it be human nature to turn these people in to
something more than what they were? My common sense
says yes.
Is it possible that these few people had a better
understanding of God and life than most people? Is it
possible they were only trying to impart to the rest of us that
which they knew? Were they trying to bridge the perceived
gap between God and
man, or were they trying to persuade us to follow only them?
My common sense says they were trying to bridge the
perceived gap between God and man.
Common sense tells me that God must be everywhere, if he
created everything. In fact he must be EVERYTHING. How
could God create things out of something that was not him?
How could there be any substance in the universe that was
not him? My common sense says he could not. It is only the
worlds religions insistence that we are separate from God
that even raises a question.
If God is all things, all people and all creatures would it pass
the common sense test to create a hierarchy of people one
must follow to reach God? Or would the littlest biological cell
on earth to the most worshiped man on earth have the same
potential connection to this source?
Men have created hierarchies; this is a basic function of man.
This principle determines who eats first. This determines
which man gets the ladies, or at least in the olden days it did.
My common sense tells me that men project their own sense
of hierarchy onto their God. In this way, there are men who
get the best of what ever is offered as they are farther up the
line. Of course this hierarchy only works because the lower
stones of the pyramid hold the upper stones.
You must give your life to Jesus or Ala or well I forget?
You Must Follow the Leader
