Personal philosophy of religion

[Jori]

Although I don’t have a religion, I have a personal philosophy of religion, expressed in the following poem, which acknowledges the existence of God and my relationship with God.

Most important of all for me
Is You, Lord, my necessity
Every gift I have comes from you
All the goodness and kindness too

Thank you, God, for every good thing
And every blessing that you bring
I may request but not demand
For I have received lots at hand

What I want is irrelevant
You don’t have to do what I want
It’s not right for me to complain
For you are Lord, and it’s that plain

I shall not seek what I prefer
Instead to your will I’ll refer
To obedience I look forward
For pleasing you, not for reward

I’m sorry for each transgression
And I accept Your correction
Your goodness I do not deserve
I’m just here to know, love, and serve

Do you have a personal philosophy of religion?

[Greatest I am]

I follow the Jewish view that puts man above God.

I think we all have a personal God that can be described as our highest ideal.

To some, God is cash as the highest ideal. Other go to the mental ideals of thinking morally.

Morality is my think and that is why I have rejected the genocidal Yahweh as a vialbe or good God.

[Immanuel Can]

Thank you, God, for every good thing
And every blessing that you bring
I may request but not demand

What I want is irrelevant
You don’t have to do what I want
It’s not right for me to complain
For you are Lord, and it’s that plain

I shall not seek what I prefer
Instead to your will I’ll refer
To obedience I look forward
For pleasing you, not for reward

I’m sorry for each transgression
And I accept Your correction
Your goodness I do not deserve
I’m just here to know, love, and serve

I like it.

Better to know God than to be "religious."

Will of God? Obeying God? Pleasing God? Serving God?

Seems not unlike the rhetoric tossed around by many Christians. The vast majority of Christians create God in their own image whereby, for all intents and purposes, the "will of God" and their own will are one and the same. They then don a cloak of false humility, whereby they pretend to be serving something other than themselves. How are you not the same in that regard?

Better to know God than to be "religious."

Thus the saying, 'Know thy Self'.

Also, let 'us' not forget that "immanuel can" religiously believes that God has a penis. Which is, obviously, being 'religious', and, just as obviously not knowing God, at all.

[Eodnhoj7]

Religion is a vehicle of interpretation. Some misuse it and place it at the level of God. Religion is neither good nor evil, use determines whether it is good or evil.

It is through the Mother that we can truly embrace the Father.

Mother Nature/Father Spirit. Together infused as both the mind/ body duality. The holy matrimony where two become one.
You as Mother Nature ( receiving) cannot exist without I the Father ( giver )

I cannot exist without You. You cannot exist without I

‘And the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.’ Ecclesiastes 12:7

And, the One, Universe, is, at the most fundamental level, made up of two things, only. They are, 'matter' (visible body), and, 'space' (invisible, like Mind).

And, to know thy 'Self', 'all-there-is', is to just use Mind, over matter.

Also, every thing, including the Universe, Itself, is because two things, prior, came-together. Like when a mother, and, father come-together, which then creates one. Every thing needs at least two things, prior, to come together, or to interact. Except, of course, for the two things of 'matter', and, 'space', which have both always co-existed together, and are eternally interacting, creating the One, and only, Universe, Itself.
