Faces in the Clouds: A New Theory of Religion

I’d wager that our problem is not a theology problem, though plenty of that exists. Further, our problem isn’t that we don’t have enough evangelism, church planting, or missional outreach initiatives. Our problem, at its core, is an identity problem. We have self-proclaimed Christians who lack clarity on what it means to be in Christ and for Christ to be in them. Worse yet, many lack the understanding of who Christ has invited them to become through the cross, resurrection, and the transformative power of His Spirit. There is an unhealthy fixation on what God must want us to do rather than on who God wants us to become.

I, too, know the science of building men
Out of fragments in a little light
Where I'll be damned if lightning don't

Strike as I forget one
May have a thief's thumb,

Another, a murderer's arm,
And watch the men I've made leave
Like an idea I meant to write down,

Like a vehicle stuck
In reverse, like the monster

God came to know the moment
Adam named animals and claimed
Eve, turning from heaven to her

As if she was his
To run. No word he said could be tamed.

No science. No design. Nothing taken
Gently into his hand or your hand or mine,
Nothing we erect is our own.

People build religions to silence mystery. But I believe mystery should be heard, not ignored. To be held, not solved.

In the beginning -i.e., before the beginning, there was NOTHING. And matter came out of nothing. And matter was CHAOS.

The initial intellect that created everything became a man and died, nailed t a wooden post, some two thousand years ago, before briefly returning to human life and then transferring back to His ethereal state somewhere outside of the physical world. This anthropoid interlude for this creator deity (many billions of years after the start of the Universe) is believed to compensate for the bad behavior of those people who accept this story as real, thereby ensuring a pleasant continuation of consciousness after their physical body has ceased to be alive.

Faith, he decided, was neither good nor evil. It was fire. In the right hands it warmed a child; in the wrong hands it burned a house. It was never the flame that decided men's fates... it was whose hand held the torch, and why.

As puny apes on an insignificant blue rock in a tiny backwater of the galaxy, we know nothing about the origin of the universe, but I can tell you one thing for a fact of earth biology, it has nothing to do with the anthropomorphic god of all the scriptures.

Saying yes to existence means surrendering to God. It means not living the isolated life of the ego. It means becoming one with the whole. It contains in essence the whole of religion.
Meditation is saying yes to existence. And then there is no fear. When you drop your ego all fear disappears. Then whatsoever God wills you do. You are no more responsible, because you are not. Then it is all up to God.
With this trust a great revolution in your life
happens. You don't exist as a separate entity
anymore. It is like a drop slipping into the ocean.
It means losing its limited definition, it means losing its identity, but it means to gain tremendously. It becomes the ocean. So the loss is not much, but the gain is infinite.

Christianity claims to hold the only path to salvation from eternal punishment. It creates a pathological fear of that punishment in adherents--a hell complex. It teaches subservience to your oppressors and provides a moral justification for ethnic cleansing, colonization, and genocide. It is a trillion-dollar pyramid scheme selling afterlife insurance! It is the opiate of the masses! It is the carceral--fucking-surveillance state of religions!

It's a lazy Saturday afternoon, there's a couple lying naked in bed reading Encyclopediea Brittannica to each other, and arguing about whether the Andromeda Galaxy is more 'numinous' than the Ressurection. Do they know how to have a good time, or don't they?
