I'm not going to concern myself today with many , though a very valid consideration , but only with three gods , creators of the three monotheistic religions , or so they claim . AS all three faiths insist on answering to the same divine power and creator .
Many Musslems think of others as prophet killers (Jews ) and Jesus worshipers (Christians ) , while Jews in their homeland look upon Christian and musslems cohabitants as animals , and look forward to expunge them all from their Jewish domains . The Christian old and new history of wars , aggressions and cruelty against members of both other religions are innumerable .
Some still believe and maintain that one god created the three religions and graced them with his blessings . The whole concept of religions and gods , prophets , messengers with their teachings throughout the times have turned out to be such a disappointment , ethically and aesthetically totally mediocre when not downright evil .
Having more than one god enable us at least , to compare and grade , we can judge which one would pass for the all good , the good or the less good . If it is one god for all then might we ask ourselves ; why couldn't the divine being get everyone into a right balance ? Or is it somehow that gods in their interactions can only result in affairs that don't always work so well . Gods must and cannot be detached from us nor from what's happening down here .
Why have religions and their creators throughout history , been largely unable to expand upon an act of human equality and embrace all of humanity regardless of religious differences , every god in history wanted all or annihilate all . Even the idea of love one's neighbors , all religions and certainly the three monotheistic ones , only mean that one is primarily to love only his fellow coreligionists , not someone from another religion .
The Musslem god is principally about will , his creation is purely will and force and never thought or reason . The Christian god is almost too philosophical with his trinity and the original sin et all . The Jewish god is a loose mix of both , often ignored and hidden due to his ambiguities and in many instances his cruelties .
Gods are a product of the mind , to have one or many , is the creation and fabrication of our weaknesses , needs and fears , of our imagination for our defenses and aggressiveness .
We can safely assume the existence of at least three different divine beings , each creator in his own way and responsible for his words , messages , and followers . Gods did not attempt to create the most perfect possible world , but rather they've created a world in their own image , at least looking at our world , maybe other worlds are more perfectly created , we cannot tell .
Could we assume then , that the evil we perpetrate here on earth , is a reflection of the divine's nature in some way ?? Historically people of different faiths gave the impression of maturing , then collapsed back into cruelty and barbarism , maybe gods mature as well .....
Some innocent reflections on the nature of things , my usual many thanks for your time and minds.
