Annoyingly Progressive Since 2006
But, hasn't humanity always been involved in God's dealings? I mean, isn't religion about a relationship between humanity and Divinity? And, as far as Xy goes, hasn't that relationship mostly been equitable -- that is to say, humanity has always been given a voice in how that relationship proceeds?Not that I can see. And I'm not just talking about Christians. The same goes for Muslims too. Man has gotten his dirty hands into all of Gods messages and altered them. I think it's more about an individual and his or her personal relationship with God. I believe in seeking the truth and I believe I have found it. But I've also found that the truth is lonely. None of the existing major religions are following it. They're all set in their ways and unwilling to question why they believe what they believe.
Consider that God's messages aren't meant to be static, nor heard in a vacuum. Perhaps they are meant more as fertile soil for humanity to work and grow spiritual fruit in.
Perhaps loneliness isn't truth. Perhaps God created humanity in God's image, to allay loneliness. Perhaps truth is more companionable and malleable than you're giving it credit for.
