Read a book the other day called “Conversations with God.” The premise of the book is that God came to the author and had a long conversation about everything in the world. I don’t know if God really came to the author or not, but the book had some very interesting thought provokers. The one that really made me think was the concept that God isn’t judging our activities, He is simply observing them. If you consider that God has “unconditional love” toward the creation, then this thought makes a lot more sense than the professions of our highly judgmental religions.
If we took judgement out of the concept of God, then we would have avoided:
1. Bloody crusades in which millions of “heathen” were killed.
2. Bloody inquisitions in which millions of “heretics” were killed.
3. Hundreds of bloody wars fought in the name of God.
4. Bloody battles in the middle east over God’s holy land.
5. The distruction of life on 9/11
6. Etc. etc.
Heck we might even see 5000 Christian denominations actually get along with each other.
If God is only observing our actions, I hope he has a way to change the channel. Just Say'n
