Not everyone views God the same way. As we know Meerabai viewed God Krishna as her Pati, Husband and behaved accordingly, as a wife should
We say, Mother Sita, Durga Ma - clearly indicating that we view God as Our Parent/Teacher (the latter because, well, our first teacher is our Mother & also in the Mahabharata, God Krishna makes that clear) - Mother Sita is well, our Mother and God Rama is our Father
That makes us Children of God
Science wise, we say everything we see was created by God - hence we are His creations, His progeny
.
But the top 2 religions of the day, Christianity & Islam do not view God in this manner - They view God as a Master, these are Master/Slave Religions
Ancient people living under Kings, Dictators used them as a template for God. Simple, primitive people envisioned an afterworld that was similar to the life they had back then, a King, Dictator like Putin sits on his THRONE in the Heavens, Heaven is his KINGDOM, and only those who profess to love, blindly believe, obey, support & sing his praises are allowed in. The rest kept out to suffer!
Take their Terminology - "Commandments, Submit(The word Islam means Submission), Beg, obey, judge, wrath, punish, mercy, forgive, Fear" - ALL Slave/Servant words totally absent in Hinduism/Buddhism!
The word Lord has crept into Hinduism - it is short for Lord & Master - a Slave word - we Hindus must stop using it
.
Would any Father ask his son to murder his OWN grandson and would any son hurry to obey? In Christianity & Islam Abraham is ordered by God to kill his son and Abraham hurries to obey
Would any Father Judge his own children?
Would any Father demand belief, loyalty, obedience & support?
Would any Father set apart his children based on that?
Would any Father torture his Children in Hell? Rape his own daughters?
But we know a Master, a Dictator like Putin will do ALL the above!
.
When we go visit our parents, we go right in, give them hugs, sit by their side, they ask what is new with us, are we well, have we made them Proud?
What son would get down on his knees, shaking with Fear, begging for mercy and awaits judgement?
That is not a son, that is a slave in fear of what his master will do to him!
.
It is sad to understand that ancient, simple, innocent people made Gods and Religions that fit their way of life back then
and these fools blindly keep following them
.
We see many prostitutes, gigolos, yes-men, sycophants, cronies surrounding rich, powerful men like Putin, blindly supporting them, singing their praises
At his behest they have tortured and killed innocent people - even children were not spared!
What is their motivation? Pleasures of the flesh! The easy lazy rich life that Putin can provide them
.
And we see Christians & Muslims behaving the same way - their history is one drenched in the blood of innocents - those who refused to believe as they did
and for that paid a terrible price - the Mayans, Hypatia, Giordano Bruno are just a few
We still see such murders going on in places like Pakistan - threats spewed at non-Muslims as Infidels
They control the media and hence OPENLY go around the world spewing threats - "Convert or else!"
A "God" who does not care for us as human beings, only cares whether we believe in him or not!
They warn us of dire consequences - the afterworld will be like being Jews in Nazi Germany
Back then in Nazi Germany or even before that going back for centuries, Jews were not seen as human beings - only their belief, religion mattered
And for the "crime" of being Jews they were sent to gas chambers!
That is what these people are telling us - that our morals, values, who we are as people does not matter - all that matters is belief, our faith
And since we don't measure up - we Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists, Sikhs, Jains and so many more - Entire families, women, children, even babies! -
Will be set apart and callously dumped into gas chambers in hell!
And these people will cheer!
And their motivation for all this hate is the same - pleasures of the flesh in Heaven - the promise of an easy lazy life in Heaven for eternity!
And for that they have sold their souls!
They Kneel down to a Putin! A Kim Jong Un!
These are their Gods!
.
Sometimes I pinch myself - am I really living in the 21st century? And these are the top 2 religions of the day?
Our silence also bothers me - Hinduism is far Superior as we can see
But our dark skin, centuries of colonization has imbibed in us a 2nd class mentality
We see their white skin and remain silent
We should not!
.
We remain True Children of God - we, along with - Buddhists, Jains, Sikhs, Jews - yes Jews because they lack the hate and division that these other 2 religions preach
Jews have never threatened anyone with dire consequences unless they convert - a characteristic of Master/Slave religions
And yes Atheists also are True Children of God - for a Father does not care for belief, blind obedience, loyalty
.
Our place is by the side of God, His arm around us
Christians and Muslims are down on their knees on the ground, shaking with fear
Their religions, their greed for the easy lazy life promised has reduced them to being our slaves/servants
