4000 years

According to historical accounts, mankind has been practicing religion for approximately 4000 years now and we still don't have it right.

Please understand that evil is a problem of awareness and GOD is a design. The Grand Organizing Design. We come to know the design by studying reality not scripture. All the material in the universe, including ourselves, is a part of creation or the production of God. Every single human being is a child of God.

Both Islam and Christianity are man made. If God is the source of all things, then any information from God would work to unite creation, not divide it. Common sense should make it clear that the destruction of one human being by another is against nature. If the Bible or the Koran says that God permits this or encourages it, we should recognize that as a sign of deliberate minipulation of the scripture by those who penned it, designed to deceive the faithful and cause division amongst the human family. This planet is for everyone that lives on it, and although we do not know the complete plan for us all, one thing is clear. We are to learn, move forward and evolve. Lift our awareness by absorbing the truth bringing us closer to God and the Kingdom of Heaven. I believe that now is the time.

So to my fellow human beings, let's get it together and love one another. I'll start it off first by loving you.
