The universal question who is and what is God?
Men have killed and died for God.
We project our life experience and others beliefs to what God is.
Religious institutions gave us facts and made us memorize passages from the Bible, Koran and the Torah.
We are taught who God is through a Priest, Minister, Imam and a Rabbi.
We were simply to accept their facts as fact. We were not allowed to ask questions and if we did....we were punished.
We are taught that God is outside of us, looking down and judging every little thing we do.
Religious teachers taught us that God was a vengeful God.
Remember the movie "OH GOD" with George Burns and John Denver? It was made in the late 70's or early 80's and you can rent it out. It was a comedy about God (George Burns) who is looking for someone to spread his message (John Denver).
You should rent it out....the message is simple and truthful. God is LOVE. I always say spiritual truth will resonate within and this movie had plenty to say.
I learned that God is NO religion and simply IS. The Divine is in each of us, all living creatures and this planet. You can see God when you see a simple act of kindness or something magnificent that has been created. You will feel your heart start to swell up and maybe tears will come from joy. It is a feeling of awe and wonderment. It is a powerful emotion and makes you want to share it with others.
That my friends...is God~
