Religious Armageddon

So with things heating up back in the Middle East, where is this New World Order one world religion to save us all from our own stupidity?

Jerusalem use to have a reputation where Judaism, Muslims and Christians could talk out their issues. Now it looks like the Muslims have been kicked out and Christians are second class citizens. With Trump recently moving the state department there, hmm.

I guess some of this comes down to the religions beliefs in action. The main chunk of religion is good, common sense stuff that helps community work. There are lots of variations around, with some parts more hostile than others on varying issues.

Christianity is the one I know most about. Jesus seams like he had some pretty revolutionary ideas at the time going on about things like acceptance and forgiveness. I don't see myself living in such a world as I do without it. We all fall over learning to walk, but as we can learn from it eventually we can run. Being such an easy going bunch I guess that is why the Jews walk all over them.

Judaism is a much older religion from when the world was a harsher place. The Ten Commandants was a great start in building a strong community, But there are other books and beliefs as well. They play by more jungle rules against other cultures is my general impression at times.

The Muslims have a similar theme with their religion as well, be a good and decent member in your community, but when it comes to other communities you can play harder. A long history of war, conflict and the struggle for survival in a harsh area has help shape these beliefs. At time the Hindi religion got on well with the Muslims, then something happened and RA RA that conflict goes on.

One of the biggest divides I see between Jews and Muslims is on the issue of usury or interest. It has helped the Jews amass and grow massive wealth, but is/when this machine of national debt gonna pop? Then what, the Muslims still have a stable economy that is still growing as a slower, but stronger rate? Russia got the lead with a new BRICS economy. Time will tell how this plays out.

Religion is a diverse set of standards with many branches, interpretations and a long history. Like language, it has a natural tendency to fracture and fragment into many different local variations. For a one world religion to work we need a common understanding of what God is about.

In the mean time, these religions with a more competitive and predatory streak are going to peck at each other as they find self worth in dominating others. Will they wipe each other out or merge into some new kind of jungle rules approach? My first comprehension of Zionism is as a Jew - Nazi with their role to play in 9/11. A policy of apartheid in the Middle East is what stands out these days. In some ways it is good to see the worlds biggest prison is getting shut down. Giza has become a holding cell as many previously displaced from Israel expansion have gone there.

As for how Israel is going about this makes me wonder when it is my turn. When asked to pick a side I stand by the rule of law. Each case on its own merits. Every culture has a mix of good and bad people. To think evil can be eradicated by the elimination of a single culture is ignorant on the nature of evil and a victim of it.

With the gradual chipping away of god from our political institutions it has taken away something that keep us together. While there are many interpretations, there is something in it we all share. Now we have legalized bribery through lobbying and many in it for themselves protected by limited liability and hide from shame in non disclosure. The corruption of science and power of the media through covid is heads up of where this belief is going. The rise of Satanism and its variations is in the religious mix these days, quite a power bunch with some ruthless approaches.

In looking for a one world religion, it goes against then nature of diversity to find it. For a short answer, 'Don't Be An Asshole' is basically what all of them are about. For a long answer there are millions of pages of legislation trying to define it in the complexities of human nature. Maybe in time as the true nature and depth of life is defined a clearer picture of god does emerge. For now with the unresolved conflicts of our ancestors still on the table, take things one step at a time, try to do the right thing.

What situation awareness do you have on the religious battle front before us?

Not time for Armageddon

AntiChrist not in charge.

It is time for WWIII, then Antichrist, then Armageddon..

I am a highly spiritual, intuitive person, who remembers the other side and what you would call "god",
and so this issue is a very big gripe of mine. I HATED being lectured by religious people my whole life when I was the one who had died and come back, and remembered it. It really puts a bee in my bonnet and I find religion pretty disgusting.
Having said that, if religious people could actually resist the urge to try to actively convert people or make others fall in line with their own religious doctrines, then we probably wouldn't need a One World Religion. To be honest, the phrase itself causes me palpable pain and reminds me of the infuriating arrogance of humanity that keeps taking from me at every turn through the actions of one self righteous narcissist after the last.

Picture having died and crossed over and remembering it vividly, as well as remembering past lives and you know religion is BS and the whole point of Jesus was not to worship the guy and draw lines in the sand, but to realize he was trying to tell us we were all the son of God, and to realize we are one with all that is, and you have to sit there in a dark kitchen while your dad talks down to you about not being a Christian, and how you're going to "Hell" (a BS word that was stolen from Old Norse BTW, what they really mean is "Gehenna", and Gehenna isn't real either.

Look, it's really simple. The closest thing to a One World Religion we could have without it being a horrible idea,
would be for everyone to simply be spiritual, and abstain from setting any doctrines for other people, other than as you said, "Don't be a c^nt to people".

Honestly, the phrase "If it harms no one, do as you will" bears more useful relevance than any other faith-based precept these days.

But honestly, I genuinely don't think humans can handle "live and let live". They want to feel "right", "superior", and in control. I know this sounds really bleak, and trust me, I really wish I didn't mean what I'm about to say,
but here it is:

I think humans WANT to destroy humanity, because having the freedom to make life whatever you want and coexist in harmony and joy, means they won't get to feel like the main character all the time.
People don't want peace. They want to feel like the best; like the winner.
That's why it's all identity politics and "us vs. them" on every single issue now.
I think humans will wipe themselves out back to square one before they abandon that state of being.
I also think that's happened numerous times before, and we had to rebuild and start over.
We're stuck in a loop.
Only hope is that someone pulls the plug on this dopey simulation, because humans aren't gonna learn this lesson.
That's just all there is to it I think.

I'm past caring though, because frankly I MISS home, and I'm totally ready.
Let the arrogant monkeys blow it all sky high.
The physical world's only a deep dream anyway.
It could've been a pleasant dream, but it won't be,
so learn to let go and stop caring about the outcome,
otherwise you'll just be stuck in disappointment and pain.
Like Bill Hicks said, "It's just a ride."
Just think of it as a free in flight movie: a mind bending psychological drama, dark comedy, and apocalyptic thriller;
a parody of the worst, most solipsistic and divisive, self defeating elements of existence.
But hey, if you absolutely insist on a genuine new religion,
I could change my name to Brian.
I know an old Monty Python movie that would fit the bill quite nicely.

The Bible shows us that the only way to end human stupidity is to end human civilization. Only God himself can clean up this mess that the fallen angels have created by leading mankind astray. Be watching and pray that God/Jesus will show you how to escape it without interference from the deceiving fallen ones.

I'll jump into the most potentially controversial post in a while. I'm a Christian and a firm believer due to evidence I've observed. I've found that there are SOME Christians who are the worst people I've ever met, on par with other religious prople from other faiths.

On a personal and potentially off topic note: My problem with all religions (including that one world BS) is that the "leaders" seem to think that they're the only ones who know what's best. To wit: We're told to have a personal relationship with Jesus and then barked at about how to do it.

Yep. The kingdom is within us.

Death is one part of this world nature already has sorted out. To have an anxiety attack over it and be an agent of the reaper does leave a dark empty hole. I am a sinner, killed lots of things for many different reasons.

When killing with dignity and respect it is easier to live with. When killing with hate, rage and ignorance it is a mistake I have to live with.

a reply to: TheValeyard

It's only within us until human civilization ends and we are brought into the new heaven/earth in our new incorruptible heavenly bodies. God already told us that He would not deal with mankind on earth, the way we are now, forever. This battle of good and evil is finally going to come to an end.

Buddy, I already AM my soul.
Good luck with your religion.
I hope it works out alright for you.
Don't preach to me.

To some degree, there is a right way to do it. Practicing mysticism will only lead people astray from God/Jesus. Don't kid yourself, there are plenty of them here who claim that what Jesus told us not to do is exactly how you find him. There are a lot of people trying to drag paganism back into Christianity. So, beware.

YOU GUYS SEE HOW IT STARTS, RIGHT?
Please tell me you see it.

So, you're one of those who believes that you are God experiencing human life through your existence? I've got news for you, God Almighty doesn't need you to experience anything.

God is all that is.
It's you who claim to be cut off from that.


a reply to: Deetermined

judge the tree by the fruit.

Judaism has brought us Nobel Prize winners and an amazing historic record.
Christianity has brought us free public schools, hospitals, democracy, and Love One Another.
Islam has bought us suicide belts, roadside IEDs and Kill the Jews.

and no, Islam does NOT worship the same God.

I know, I know, the Christian west has a mixed historical record, but I'll match ours against anyone else's. sad fact of human history is that everybody abuses everybody else. Jews and Christians make some effort to live in peace.

God doesn't live in a state of corruption and evil. He plans on ending it. God doesn't contradict himself. You do.

I am on board with that. Give the vibe the borg wins and those remaining have a chip in their head motioning wrong think.

Yet there is something that connects us all. Live on this planet has been a head banger at times. but what if some deeper understanding of life emerges as the the UFO disclosure dams breaks? What if the Akashic Records are real and the full story of all our ancestors are there somewhere? How will this change beliefs as there is no where really we can hide.

Yep. That's why Jesus said He didn't come to bring peace but a sword. Get ready for the final showdown. God told us it was coming, but you refused to listen.

They are. Life on the other side is constant telepathy and feeling each other's energy. And endless spiritual Google searches.
You can know anything you wanna know instantly, and we are all connected, and even identity and names is a much looser concept there.
The greys apparently know this. That's why they refer to us as containers or vessels.
Life itself is actually a collective mind, and it's not just comprised of "humans".
If anyone wanted to know stuff about the other side I could tell ya, lol,
it's just that no one ever does.

a reply to: kwakakev

God's not the one forging swords, kiddo, nor was "he" the one who wrote that book you love to quote.
If you looked hard enough, you'd see that the sword in the path of Edin, was a symbol for humans deciding to fight over who was the bestest.

I'll just say it one more time, since you seem to be missing it:
I am not receptive to your religious preaching.
I've had more than one NDE.
You're barking up the wrong tree.
Give it a rest and stop preaching, and maybe reread my first comment again,
because it said enough for you to know not to go after me like this.

You are perfectly demonstrating exactly what I was complaining about,
and you're proving my point.

Live and let live.

UFO disclosure will end up being as mixed as religion. Some will believe aliens to be bringing truth and others will believe they are bringing nothing but more deceit and lies.
