You Are Alone

You are responsible for your own personal, mature relationship with God. In other words, you must put aside the fairy tale of God hovering somewhere above your shoulder.

Put aside the idea of a warm, fuzzy, loving, constantly observing God. Put aside the idea of a constantly guiding God. Put aside the idea of a constantly directing God.

Put aside the idea of a bribable, appeasable God. Put aside the idea of a capricious and constantly meddling God. A God that will save you from yourself. A God that will save you from current events. You are only a resource to God when you are dead.

You must put aside the idea that God is walking down the street appearing to be human. That was the ancient Roman idea of Godlike behavior. They got a lot of their ideas from the Greeks.

In the first and second centuries of Christianity, a more remote, distant form of monotheism was created. This was through influence from the Greek philosophies of Asia Minor and Greece itself. Both of which had been influenced by philosophies from Persia and India, during the time of Alexander the Great.

I think you must accept that your relationship with God is a one way street until you die.

The hardest idea to accept is, that God does not care about you while you are alive.

God does not think about you while you are alive.

Giving up that old comfortable idea is hard. Do you think about, or care about the skin cells that constantly detach and fall from your body on a daily basis?

God only gives you a part of His soul when you have passed out of your mother’s body. God only gives you a part of His soul when your life-force is quickened by your first breath of air.

After that, you are on your own. Only with whatever protections your parents can provide, until you are a self-sustaining being.

His pithy comments and suggestions for a return to a God-centered personal religion will interest everyone.
