Modern life is foolish and devoid of respect for life. The common man apparently cares more deeply about having five hundred channels and high-def sporting events then with life which burns into his retinas from every direction only to be ignored for the phosphorescent glow of illusions of predatory minds. This Christian nation has done more then then Satin every would do to destroy the souls of men. If such an being could exist, it would have nothing more to do then to sit back and let the priests and profits of this world send their pawns against each other. Nobody respects life who gives it so cheaply as the truly religious do.
I'm not talking about your Sunday driver going to a church for a sense of community. That it what is beautiful about them, they let the words of the poets who write this trip drift through their mind with little interaction with the true life's blood of their spirituality. The man who lives without fervent regard for his or her religion is not the subject of this discussion beyond the sins of neglect and words not said against the true problem child of religion, the fundamentalist.
The fundamentalist is something that is not understood by the Sunday driver. A person who actual believes every word that they are told is part of their religion has many land minds to contend with. All the western religions, except for most Jewish traditions, tells it's followers that this life is not where it's at. That life is just a temporary hardship that will one day be lifted or in certain cases of misconduct be magnified beyond all earthly description. This cheapens life.
There is no good reason to believe in a life after this. Furthermore there is good reason to believe that even if it should seem a near certitude that there is something beyond this life that we should not take the leap of faith and act on that assumption. The moment we find ourselves living is sacred beyond all other moments. Here and now is all we ever have. The past and the future do not exist.
Living outside the moment is a mistake we all make more then we need to. It always seems to lead to our receiving less out of life then what we could archive from worshiping the present tense. To constantly live in the future is to miss the point; which is remember to live.
I leave you with this good Christian theologians.
"Without God there is still All(ah). All there is is All, ah. God, if he exists, is part of All. I am not God. You are not God. But I am part of All; We are part of All; And All is more then God."
Allah Akbar might best be translated with an assumed being verb. "There is no God but All is (exists)". There is reason that Islam is a more advanced religion: more defensible then Christianity that is. It's newer and so has not gotten past it's love of martyrdom like Christianity has to some degree and like Buddhism has to a much larger degree (kamikaze anyone).
