GOD, RELIGION AND EARTH, THE REALITY PART 2

RELIGION



This is a sensitive issue all over the world, and I don't know why?



This is just my personal opinion, as someone who believes in the existence of god but have not experience it. I always had bizarre imagination and out of this world kind of explanation. I trust my heart, feelings and instinct with facts and logic but there is also an element of Faith, without that nothing will be achieved.



We need to go back in time to see how it would have begun.



6 – 7 million years ago



Human evolution started somewhere in-between 6 – 7 million years ago. Let's not talk about Adam & Eve because there isn't much studies done except for some scriptures in the holy books and I have no clue about them and better to stay away from that subject.. Science had made a lot of breakthrough in Human Evolution, the transformation of human from ape but even that is not proven 100%.



Anyway, from what we have, we can say that a fully developed human (Homo sapiens), which is what we are now started exploring the world somewhere between 50,000 – 100,000 years ago from Africa. There were other species such as Homo erectus in Asia and Homo Neanderthalensis in Europe but they all went extinct and replaced by Homo sapiens who probably had a better developed brain to survive.



How did they live?



They were nomads, living in small colonies, hunt for food and had their own dialect to communicate. The strongest man is the leader, he is the Alpha Male. Well, their ancestors have seen Ice Age, Stone Age and Bronze Age so they have mastered the art of making weapons to kill for food "only". Their brain was developing fast, thanks to a new diet of cooked food with various nutrients and minerals to help them grow stronger and think faster.



They become more innovative, rearing livestock, digging wells for continuous water supply, planting various vegetation's and learning the art of sustaining themselves in one place. Once they have mastered the art of sustaining, they were not nomads anymore. They don't need to move every now and then to look for food and water. They start settling down in one place.



What did they worship and why?



The early humans were just another species in par with the animals but due to the new diet and their natural ability to be curious (development of the brain), they soon become the dominion species. During this period of learning, they were very superstitious and started worshipping anything that could threaten their lives. They worship animals, mountains, sun, moon or even fire. What makes them worship these things in the early stages of their life is "FEAR".



They were no match to a lion, tiger, crocodile or an elephant with their primitive weapon. Their greatest innovation came one day and they ruled the world from then on. It's "Teamwork" and "Planning" that gave them superiority over every living thing on this planet. They hunted in groups and strategies their attack; soon they started killing all the animals that deemed superior than them and their fear of these animals vanished for good.



That's when they stop worshipping all these animals but they went on to worship the sun, moon, sea and mountain. Their fear over a volcano eruption, sun's heat that causes fire, a raging seas and a bright planet that only appears in the night. As generations passed, they studied the pattern and were at ease with them because its destruction were not frequent and they believe by worshipping and giving sacrifices, they have made peace with them.



There was no more fear but just something beyond their control and better off to worship and make peace with this natural wonders. Humans natural tendencies is to be in control of everything, when something that is beyond their control, FEAR of what might happen creeps in.



Which comes first, Politics or Religion?



Once these nomads settled down in a place, their population grew very rapidly. Other colonies join in and of course the strongest is the ruler and they were more organised, designating certain people for a particular work and being more systematic. The basic rules were being implemented to reduce social problems and food distributions. Now they are building permanent homes and start collecting valuables as their possession.



There is a price for everything now and the coveted prize is to be the Alpha male. The fight for the throne went on and the toughest ruled the land. The weaker realizes that they will always be a slave to the leader because they can never beat him in a fight. They started to think collectedly and decided to form a team and plan an attack on the leader.



They realize that if they can kill an elephant, why they cannot kill an Alpha male. The team started plotting their attack, but then everyone in the team need to be pleased by position and possession. The obvious leader will be the one with the intelligence to plan this attack and the rest will be assured of a luxury life. They discussed, they planned, they attack and they killed the leader and that's the birth of "POLITICS".



That is when; intelligence took over muscles in order to lead. What you need is a bunch of loyal followers who will be the last line of defense to the leader. In return, they will be given all the luxury to just be loyal to the leader.



It sounds very similar to the present politics but let's explore.



How they rule the people?



Well, the leader is the one with the brain and could think better than the rest. Of course he has to fulfill his pledge to his friends as promised and will give them position, power, wealth and control over territory. The distribution of power is the start of the first "GOVERNMENT" and then it's a never ending struggle.



The leader will have sleepless night thinking about the 9 guys plotting against him, therefore he will hire a few guys to stand guard outside his room, and then he will get more people to stand at the entrance and later to watch the entire land. His insecurity will eventually create a group of people to keep watch on him wherever he goes in the city. These people will form the first "ARMY" and their job is to protect the leader.



With his army around him, he fears no one and executes all the 9 guys who could be a threat to his position. He is now a King and with his army protecting him and creating fear to others, he declares himself an Alpha Male.It is like going into a fist fight with a gun and then demands everyone to cheer and celebrate his victory



The king will use any means to get what he wants, then came rules, regulations, law, punishments and job description. The city took its first step in becoming a country.



Who is God?



The King is now so powerful because he has an army and they have successfully instilled fear in the people. Humans evolved over time, conquered their fear by killing the very beast that they worshipped and now they face their biggest fear. A human with equal intelligence and ability like any other people, how are they going to overcome this fear?



Humans are back to where they started and the very weapons and teamwork that they learned to hunt for food is being used on them. They are now looking at the king as though they are looking at a beast they could never kill. They will start worshipping the king as what they have been doing in the past to overcome their fear.



ANIMALS RULED, HUMANS EVOLVED, ANIMALS KILL HUMANS, HUMANS KILLS ANIMALS, HUMANS RULES, HUMANS KILLS HUMANS, WHO IS GOING TO KILL ALL HUMANS, let's wait and see.



The King, once being worshipped by the people was elevated to the God status. He will make statues of himself and place it everywhere and some statues will have a lion head just to bring fear in people. They ruled for centuries as gods and they have convinced the people that only their bloodline are gods, so the role of being god is passed on from the father to the son.



Greed, Lust and Fame



While his Kingdom grew in prosper, there are other kingdoms emerging everywhere and pose a threat to his kingdom. The fear of losing his kingdom, the greed of worldly wealth, lust for a woman and intention to spread his religion are the only cause to start a war. Now, the humans enemy is another human and animals are used as part of their accessories in war.



We have perfected the art of killing and we keep killing in the name of god, country and leaders. The victorious king will soon be an emperor and his fame will spread as far as the land he invades.



Ask anybody in a military who had seen war, why he kill so many people. To protect my President & country's sovereignty.This is at present but 10,000 years ago, when rulers are god and government, they killed for him.



What is a Religion?



When the king is in his small colony, and being worshipped as god, it's more like a cult. His colony grew and becomes a kingdom and his god status takes a bigger leap and becomes a teaching with proper rituals and written texts. When he starts invading another land and introduce his teachings and belief's it becomes a religion.



They will destroy everything that could be a threat to his status as god and build new sculptures to be worshipped by the people. The people, after seeing their kingdom torn apart and greater fear for their lives will accept their new god without much hesitation.



Why they need to introduce their religion upon invading?



It's the best method to bring in order and fear. The moment their god or their religion is introduced, they are systematically training the people to follow order's. How to rule people from a different culture, society and religion? We have to work the other way around, bring in Religion, than Government and later Politics but this time the Human God controls everything. The moment people accustomed to the religion, you have successfully invaded the country.



What happened?



This Human Gods ruled for thousands of years, captured kingdom after kingdom, spreading and forcing people to accept their faith and bloodied the land with innocent people's blood. Now they are just artifacts, kept in museum and preserved as remainders from the past.



They were wiped out within a short period of time because there was no truth about them. It was the end of that era, where Politics, Government and Religion were under one man's control and from then on these three position's were kept separate to show a more democratic system in a country.



The Light of the Universe



The people who stood up and oppose these human gods, bring clarity to the people, shown a better way to lead a life, spoke only the truth, shown the path to experience god and sacrifice their own life in order for us to live in harmony are the religions of today.



The fact was, none of them claimed to be god, and they all acknowledged that there is god and he is the creator of heaven and earth and protector of every living organism in the universe.



The "Unknown Force" that made all these possible with his miracle touch within that 1 second after The Big Bang approximately 13.9 billion years ago could well be GOD.
