There are many religions all over the world. They all have their own Holy Book. They will all tell you, they know what God wants and claim to have His very words. Since all the Holy Books are different, they can not be all right. If God were to hold you to the contents of any one book, it would only be fair if everyone had their personal copy. If God told me to guaranty everyone a copy then told me how to fund the project, I would be more than happy to deliver. GOD DOES NOT DO THIS!!! I've always said that actions speak louder than words. So what is it God is really doing?? God puts all the secrets of the universe right before our eyes. It is all up to us to discover them. Example: We could of had electricity 4000 years ago if we could SEE!!! There was lightning back then. God has the sum of all knowledge. I find when you discover one thing that it just opens doors to more. The more we learn, the closer we get to God and the more we have in common. For those who insist their book is the total word of God and that it is all God is and wants, don't you see???? You are putting God in a nice neat little box. Memorize the book, follow the rules, that's it. What will you miss that is outside your box?? God is so much more than you can find in any one book!! We are meant to Think, to Discover, to Learn, to Grow!! There is an unendless supply of knowledge just waiting to be discovered. People of the Earth can be so controlling. So many want to rule and yet can not see that we are all special in our own way. No one needs to be confined in a box!. Free yourself to explore. You are very capable of discovery and just as special as those who claim to know all the answers. You only need yourself with a sense of discovery to find the real truth. Everything about God will always add up. If it doesn't it's either man or you just do not understand GodYet. God is unconditional love with wisdom and knowledge uncomparable to any man or book!! Why go anywhere else??What do you think???

I think that it was beutiful what you wrote about God and opening our eyes. I respect all religios and do not judge any body for their belifes as I would like others to respect my belifes. I do belive that God eccist but I don't go to church every Sunday I just don't think that we have to be in a room with other people to be able to let God into my heart.

I have to agree with you. I know you touch every life you contact will love and kindness. You are just what the people in your life need. Never be afraid to interact even when there is drama for that is when most of the learning takes place. Thanks for your comments!!!

You are very right that God has put every thing in front of our eyes and mind so that we may learn and explore, gain more and more knowledge and become enlightened by it.
BUT you have a wrong cocept when you say that religion has confined us to seek knowledge other than our Holy Book, at least in Islam there is no such rule.
The Quran tells about God that
He is the One and Only
He is Eternal and Absolute
He does not have a parent nor any offsprings
And there is nothing comparable to Him.
Now I can't see how it confines God. Further more it is obligatory for all muslims to acquire as much knowledge so as to see the wonders and secrets God created so that we marvel at all God's creativity and so that we understand Him more.

So then you are ready to put the books down and go see what God wants from youRight? Or do you hide in your holy book in fear that you might not have answers or your book might be wrong because it was written by man. Whom or what do you seek or follow??? Why are you not already there?
