What Is God? By : George Wallace When I was in college in New Mexico, I first encountered the idea of a spider as a God. I was trying to learn something about the local culture and state history. There were several tribes in that state that had stories about Grandmother Spider, the Creator. By way of comparison, a spider might very well be a cute, cuddly critter when compared to God. God does not have a heart, in either sense of the word. God is pure intellect. God is only concerned about investigating His Questions. Behind Closed Doors By : George Wallace Don't ignore history. To think to do otherwise admits an ignorance of the behavior of many religions. Especially that of their leaders in the past. Please consider what is demanded in return. You have to be domesticated like goats and sheep. You have to be prepared to be shorn regularly. The answer to these all too common perversions of religion is to go underground. Being a martyr is not a necessary part of the requirements of God. The Big Lie of Creationism & Intelligent Design By : George Wallace Your soul does not die. Your soul is a part of God, immortal and everlasting. We are all part of the Eternal Whole, God. We all return to God. We are the carriers of God’s knowledge. God is not all knowing. He even questions Himself. He wants to learn. He is curious. He has set up His Plan of the universe. He has set up His His system of evolution. He lets competition to survive create His versatile tools. You are a part of that Plan. God's Plan is the only Intelligent Design. Burn This Book: The Church, Women, and Celibacy By : George Wallace If you do not have it within you to question yourself. Burn This Book. If all you want is comfort. Burn This Book. If all you want is to be left alone in your unconsidered beliefs. Burn This Book. If for you, the Bible is the actual words of God, and must be taken literally. Burn This Book. If you don’t understand the word version, at the top, where it says, The King James version of the Bible, then stop. Burn This Book. Burning The Dumb & Domesticated By : George Wallace The strength of your faith is not the question. I tend to believe that your faith is already strong. Faith can be more powerful than any other emotion. Organized religion has purposefully committed unnumbered acts of sacrilege. False religious leaders hold out their hands expecting you to place your money in their hands. You dutifully look on like a dumb domesticated food animal. It is your life. You must decide for yourself how to live it. Little Children Shall Lead Them By : George Wallace “What is God? Where is God? What does God do? How do I know God answers my prayers? What does God look like?" Answer as you would to a small child’s questions. Don't lie to your children. Children will test you and God. The straight forward answers are: We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. God doesn't answer our prayers. We don't know. “Beam Me Down” Creationism By : George Wallace This is the idea that suddenly God decided to Create Everything, and then took a week to do the job. It is quite literally telling God how to do His Work. It has the gall to put Him on a work schedule! It is as if there existed a penalty clause for late completion. If God Is All Powerful, why does He need a week ? Get the job done Now. The question is, why should He? Why would God be in a hurry? Does God have a deadline? Human beings made up the story. Nine Points about Organized Religion By : George Wallace Nothing about religion is simple. Some leaders of organized religions freely admit their own lack of faith. An organized religion is a formalization of conservatism designed to resist change. Organized religion is a pipeline and a connection. Organized religion provides a baby blanket for adults. Hatred and wars approved of by religion is the greatest of failures of organized religion. Organized religion has used “missionary work” as a weapon of mass destruction. Nine More Proper Behaviors By : George Wallace Proper behaviors are those behaviors derived from the evolutionary requirement for success. Ten proper behaviors have been discussed in another article. Proper behaviors are those behaviors derived from the evolutionary requirement for success: survive. We can infer some additional guidelines for proper behavior that follow the first ten. Eight Good Reasons for Birth Control By : George Wallace Intelligence has changed things. We now have better medicine. We live longer, far longer. Eaising children to the standard of success takes a lot more time, and money for every child. We simply cannot afford to have as many children as did our ancestors. To do so in today's world is not a good survival plan. Birth control is not just a whimsey, a choice for frivolity, it is an economic necessity for most, especially poor, families. Birth control is also a choice of free will. Six Similarities of a Priesthood and Organized Crime By : George Wallace How to recognize the “con game” of organized religion. 1. Similarity of purpose 2. Similarity of plan. 3. Similarity of actions. 4. Similarity of results. 5. Similarity of style. 6. Similarity of modus operandi Sages & Sinners, Perverts & Priests, Five Reasons We all go to Heaven By : George Wallace After our death, no one goes to Purgatory. Purgatory does not exist. No one goes to Hell. Hell does not exist. We all go to God. God exists. We all go to Heaven. God exists. God is. God's Plan is not about your accident of birth in a society, or a religion. God's Laws apply to everything and everyone. God's Plan includes every society and every religion on the planet. Five Reasons to Believe in God By : George Wallace It all starts with a belief in God. What logic and reason might we use to help us form our faith in God? What observable, logical reasons form and give definition to our belief? By what basis do we defend to ourselves our belief and our faith in God? What proofs of the existence of God are available? What might lead us to believe in the existence of a God. A God that created us as intelligent beings and all that is around us? 18 Reasons No One Needs an AK-47 to Kill Bambi By : George Wallace Right to life is a wonderful phrase from a wonderful document . The phrase has been applied inappropriately to issues not connected to the original intent and meaning. Originally it was propaganda. Now deliberately deceptive politicians are attempting to apply it to such diverse modern issures as abortion, dying of old age, stem cell research, or living in a brain-dead, vegetative state with the help of machines. We all need to see what the world as it really is, not what you want it to be. Twelve Reasons for a More Realistic Creationism By : George Wallace We humans are not alone in God's Universe. The results of Hubble telescope. The complexity question and the need for plenty of time. The Big Bang Theory. A more God-like Plan. God's goal is the result, not the process. God's toy soldiers. People are not toys. They are complicated and intricacate. People are driven by impulses. People are full of good and evil thoughts. People have desires. People have internal conflicts. People are blessed with free will . People are cursed with fr Ten Proper Behaviors By : George Wallace Proper behaviors are those behaviors derived from the evolutionary requirement for success. See through the camouflage. Fail this vision test and die. Be honest. Experience life. Be bold enough. Learn all the time. Think before you leap. Be observant and courageous. Play with friends and have fun. Get along with others. Modify our environment. Look Out for "Sin" Land Mines By : George Wallace Repetition is the final step of learning. God doesn't deliberately set out "sin" land mines. Land mines for you step on and set off. You most often do it to yourself. The Bible was written at a time when theocracy was the general rule. The Constitution of the United States of America was the first written government document to almost totally separate civil law and religion. We are still not comfortable with the arrangement. God’s Expectations and the Good Life By : George Wallace Question: How do we know how to live the Good Life? Answer: We don’t. Survival is God’s only unwritten rule. Survival is Good. Remember these subsequent rules: 1. the predator evolves, getting smarter, faster, sneakier, and more adept at camouflage. 2. the prey also must adapt and change to every one of these abilities. 3. the prey must counter and defeat every new predator ability. Getting A Soul By : George Wallace When does God attach a soul? First, please remember that we’re trying to use straight line steps of thought. Second, that I stated previously that the whole question of “soul” was an unknown. I agree that the whole question as to whether we even have a soul is an assumption. I believe that we do “get a soul” at some point. I just don’t know at what age. Biggest Slapstick Joke Since Vaudeville By : George Wallace Humans have souls. This may be the biggest slapstick joke since vaudeville. This egocentric idea allows us to lie to ourselves. It gives us a sanctioned license to “seek dominion over all of the earth”. We humans want desperately to believe that we are important. We want it so much that we could have invented the idea of soul. As as an after thought, we may have invented “God” to “create” our souls. A falsehood nested inside a falsehood. Lies can grow and grow with each telling. Are You More Than Organic Fertilizer ? By : George Wallace You must make choices. Your mistakes are as important as correct choices. You learn from both. God will learn from you about both your good choices and your bad choices. The enslaved can make slavery so much work that it becomes too expensive to continue. A dead slave is useless except as a few pounds of organic fertilizer. Organic fertilizer is easy and cheap to gather at stables. All life on Earth is a short term condition. Our unique task is to bring God new knowledge. Are You An Insect? By : Gecko 67 Your soul does not die. Your soul is a part of God, immortal and everlasting. We are all part of the Eternal Whole, God. We all return to God. A person is one of God’s tools. We are the carriers of God’s knowledge. God is not all knowing. He even questions Himself. He wants to learn. He is curious. He has set up His Plan of the universe. He has set up His His system of evolution. He lets competition to survive create His versatile tools. God's Plan is the only Intelligent Design. An Image of God? By : George Wallace If someone tells you that he knows what God looks like, run away as fast as possible. We humans seem to desire above all else to have an image of God. Our imagination is limitless. Many things have been chosen, or created, as images of God. Here is one of the more unusual choices. The spider. It turns out that this choice is not a new one at all. In its own way, the choice is logical, if not very heart warming. Abortion By : George Wallace God gives us all free will. God does not discriminate against women. Attempts to limit a woman’s ability to exercise her free will to choose an abortion is not a part of God’s Plan. God will tell us all when He changes His Plan. No child should ever come into the world without at least a loving, caring mother. Women instinctively know that they are not fit mothers. I believe these women are right. There should be no limit on a woman’s ability to exercise her free will. A Droplet in the Ocean By : George Wallace There is a viable alternative to these patterns of corruption of religion. It is for each individual to accept personal responsibility for their connection to God. It is time to see through the camouflage to the truth of leadership of organized religion. It is time to see that absolute power corrupts absolutely. God will judge your actions when He calls you home to Him. He will savor your essence. You will once again be a droplet in the Ocean of God. You will have returned to God. A Celibate Cleric & A Blind, Deaf, and Numb Medical Doctor? By : George Wallace What is really required to be an adequate priest, minister, or cleric? At the present time most clerics are about as useful as skin warts. It simply is not important whether or not clerics are men. It simply is not important whether or not clerics are women. A priest, minister, or cleric must regularly experience the transcendence, the ecstatic state, the strong spiritual part of the sexual embrace. A celibate priest is like a blind, deaf, and numb medical doctor. Bikini Churches, Part 2 Suffering Christians Depart Mega-Churches By : George Wallace In a small church you are not overwhelmed by the press of bodies, noise, glitz, nor inattention to your personal needs. Your contacts and your interactions are limited. Generally, it is a difference for which we are willing, if we have the resources, to pay a premium. A religious event is no place to be swallowed by the whale of anonymity. A religious event is no place to be “lost” in the crowd. All that is left at some churches is to add sales of peanuts, hot dogs, and beer. Bikini Churches, Part 1 Suffering Christians Depart Mega-Churches By : George Wallace If the title describes your feelings after you get home from Sunday services, you are not alone. More and more Americans are returning home after canned religious experiences feeling vaguely dissatisfied. Their ears are “tinned” and their livers are liquified jelly. The “good vibrations” flowing through the internal organs have drowned the simple message of goodness. This has led to the rapid growth and development of Bikini churches that cover the essentials of religion.
