Why Jesus isn't important to believe in

Jesus is not the first and only person in literature or stories that has had that particular existence. Did you know that?
Oedipus, Theseus, Jesus, Romulus, Hercules, Perseus, Zeus, Jason, Robin Hood, Apollo- they all share the same existence. It's a "hero's story" and it's generally the same. Lord Raglan wrote about The Hero and created a hero score card made up of 22 points. 13 of which Jesus meets.
1. Hero's mother is a royal virgin;
2. His father is a king, and
3. Often a near relative of his mother, but
4. The circumstances of his conception are unusual, and
5. He is also reputed to be the son of a god.
6. At birth an attempt is made, usually by his father or his maternal grand father to kill him, but
7. he is spirited away, and
8. Reared by foster -parents in a far country.
9. We are told nothing of his childhood, but
10. On reaching manhood he returns or goes to his future Kingdom.
11. After a victory over the king and/or a giant, dragon, or wild beast,
12. He marries a princess, often the daughter of his predecessor and
13. And becomes king.
14. For a time he reigns uneventfully and
15. Prescribes laws, but
16. Later he loses favor with the gods and/or his subjects, and
17. Is driven from the throne and city, after which
18. He meets with a mysterious death,
19. Often at the top of a hill,
20. His children, if any do not succeed him.
21. His body is not buried, but nevertheless
22. He has one or more holy sepulchers.



Stories are great for explaining things we don't really understand. Facts are there as proof, sometimes finding facts to prove what we think is hard, especially if what we believe is an abstract concept.
Isn't it time for people to realize that God isn't a hateful, vengeful entity but an all loving and accepting entity? Why would God want us to destroy each other? Why would God want us to hate one another?
 so what happens to us when we die?  Where does reincarnation fall into? Why not believe in mythical creatures, mother nature and father time?
Do you really think God intended for the bible to be a literal, factual book or truth, that every single person on earth must follow and abide by because that would be centuries of cultures filling up "hell" while the rest of the "God fearing Christians" get to go to Heaven but only if they've accepted another human being who claims to be able to perform magical illusions and is a child of God, yet he says we are all children of God.. contradictory right? The catholic religion states that a person must believe in Jesus Christ and that when Pagans pointed out that the story of Jesus has been told by many cultures throughout time with mostly the name changing (hero story) and why must we accept that this one time, this one story, this one man is the one true adaptation? Oh, because the devil told those stories so that the Christians would be disproved.. Oh. that makes sense.
Read this: Is this the kind of God we should be worshiping and thankful for? Really?

I don't feel it is true. I believe in a Loving, Caring God who provides us with the knowledge to exist and do what is right. Live life in all it's glory, good and bad. To experience, to help one another, to learn about the human existence. Namaste

What the #$*! is God anyway?

Here's how I see it.
I see lots of people writing about how unhappy they are in life, no money, no cars, bad health, shitty situations, death or loss of something important. I see people say this a LOT: Let God handle it, pray to God, God will take care of you...
and you know what? It's partly true. But people see to misunderstand what God is.
God is not a human being, God does not have human emotions. God does not work the same way human beings work, therefore scriptures written by humans are often subject to human emotions.
God is infinite wisdom.
God is hatred, murder and disease, God is life, love, understanding and compassion.
God is all the good and all the bad in the world. 
God is everything and in everyone. This does not mean everyone is a God. God is within everyone because we are capable of being good or bad and since God is both, Ying and Yang, God is within us all.
God is the universe.
Without the good there would be no bad. 
Without the bad, there would be no good.
How would we know what is good if we didn't experience the bad. How would we know bad things exists if we didn't know what was good?
If you pray to God for patience, you will get more situations in your life win which to display patience. You will not be given the ability to be completely patient in every situation.. it is up to you to display patience when it is needed. Life is full of tests, what you want most you ask for and it is up to you to make the change within yourself to achieve true happiness.
If you pray for success, you will be given a chance to act upon it, it is NOT up to God to supply you with things directly, but with the knowledge (intuition) to make it so. It is up to you to act upon the circumstances when they arrive. You have to trust your intuition because that is God giving you hints, whispering to your soul, the answers that you seek. Trust your gut- if it seems like a bad idea, it probably is, if you feel an urge, listen to it, try to understand it.
heaven and Hell are human beings creation- some people need something to visualize. Heaven and Hell are the beautiful and ugly parts of human life. There is no actual place of damnation like hell. It is a manifestation of all bad things, feelings, actions. There are good and bad forces out there,however people are easily confused and easily convinced or manipulated so it is important to understand God. 
That is why there is good and bad in the world, that is why God "allows" bad things to happen to good people and bad people to help weigh the balance of good people in the world. It is about balance, it is about coexisting, it is about allowing life to live. There has to be evil in this world so that good has something to compare to. 
God comes in many forms, as a human being such as Krishna, Jesus, Mohamed, Saints... God is within everyone, as I said before God is both Good and bad, Ying and Yang. The sun and Moon, Good people and bad people. This does not mean we are all gods, but that we are all connected, we are all one, we are all one with God. We are here on earth to experience life, we are here to experience good and bad. We are meant to touch peoples lives whether it be for better or worse. 
God comes to us in abstract ways also.
Sunshine
Beautiful landscapes
Strangers who know just what to say
Funny quotes that inspire, infuriate and explain
Children's perceptions of what life is and how it works
We are all here with a purpose, we all touch lives whether or not we are aware of it, we all touch lives even when we don't know we're doing it. It's the human connection. God working within us. 
We as human beings, are not perfect and we never will be. There are amazing people who accomplish great feats, however we all die. God is an infinite being with no beginning and no end.
Humans need stories to be able to grasp abstract concepts such as consciousness, understanding, and tolerance of differences.
It blows me away that people will call themselves Godly or put labels on religion such as Christianity or Buddhism, yet they feel contempt and hatred for such things as silly as a boy wearing girls cloths or people getting tattoos- because God is within all of us and within everything we should always try first to love and accept differences rather than persecute people for having feelings or thoughts that differ from their own!
Another thing, God has come in many forms, people, animal, plants, water, air, fire... 
 God gave us earth and God can take it away. Be appreciative of life. Coexist is the main message.

Wake up and smell the change

I've been feeling a strong pull to raise the consciousness of the human race. I've been questioning my own existence as to why I am here when I hate it so much. Why do I have to go through these tough emotional conflicts in my relationships with people. Why do I have to be a mom and what does that mean? Why did I have to choose to be a female in this lifetime, I feel emotions to heavily, I have little control over my hormones, I go through a period of time that is often times so unbearable I wish I was a man, ie. my period duh! Why do I continually feel compelled to help others even though I rarely receive the same compassion when I need help? It's all starting to come together, but with out a solid answer- I think because the answer lies within ourselves- What do we really want for ourselves? Do we all want to be happy with a full belly, able to have a career that is soul satisfying and have a relationship we don't have to hide from others? What would bring all of us to this point? What keeps us from it? how do we change for the better?

Which brings me to the point of 2012. A social, emotional, shift in consciousness, what does this have to do with God, what is God & why do we care? In all mythology's and religions God(s) want to be worshiped, they created humans in order to receive praise & the want to be loved and appreciated. Other God(s) have made it quite clear that they will use force if necessary to make sure humans know they do exist and that they desire worship as well- Clash of the Titans anyone? There are multitudes of stories confirming the existence of extraterrestrials of which hold great power, who offer a great wealth but who also bring a great wrath for unappreciative species of humans. 

A new constitution of Awareness shall be created- it is time for change!
-No more diff religions, we are all one with God(s) in our hearts, everyone needs to get along and believe that God exists, created the earth, created human form so that we shall experience all that there is in life on earth. Right now we are unable to full fill our destinies because of a dependance on something as stupid and non existent as money. It was created from nothing, with no value behind it, created out of nothing with a false pretense that it is worth something. without money we shall not have power, food, water, clothing, basic human needs. This is wrong! These things need to be free in order for humans to survive. Who are you to control population through the force of money. If you have none you shall not get the medical help you need, you shall not be able to buy food for your family creating greed and criminal activity. Water is free, it should be kept that way, water conservation, preservation, it is used everywhere and needs to be free for all who need it. Clothing created by humans living in 3rd world conditions, worn by people who have too many cloths for just themselves. A need has been created to consume more than your fair share, to horde, to obtain the best, the most, do not share... this needs to stop. Only take what you need to survive. 
-Because we are all one with God(s) we are all connected, we are all essentially the same- we all bleed the same blood, we all die, we all eat and poop in the same way. If we are all from God and we are all connected, If you love yourself, why do you kill others.. that is like killing yourself? If you love your children, why do you control your child's emotions, likes, dislikes, friends, lovers.. why not educate them that it is OK to be who you are, it is OK to like things that are different from other people. It is OK to be different. 
-Love one another despite all differences
-Erase hate from our lives
-Help one another
-Get rid of money, get rid of greed and corruption
-Use earths natural resources to supply each other with heat, energy, good life!
share it with people all around the world. 
-Have jobs, people need to work because it is better for us as a whole, not because it will make money so they can buy things corrupt people are trying to sell them.
-Education should not be standardized, yes it is important to know how to read, write and do math.. those things are how we communicate, how we solve problems.. however they are forcefully being taught to our children even if they are not ready to accept those lessons. Let children learn at their own pace, teach those subjects to all ages instead of aged categories. Instill a love of learning and we will create a new generation that will help one another, create harmony within this world. Allow everyone to go to school, do not put a price on education, this is something all human beings should be allowed to do, learn. Allow more advanced classes for people who show an earnest love and passion about a particular subject. Do not put a price tag on an education when there are people who are born into poor countries who would excel in mathematics, science, art, politics.. People of all walks of life have made differences in this world and should be allowed to learn no matter what the money situation is. 
-Work with one another- Unite instead of Divide. United Nations instead of a Divided Nations which is what we are right now. There is an I am better than you and it should be how can I help you be a better person, how can you help me be a better person and together we can create happiness and success for everyone. Become a truly United Nations means supporting one another, helping, sharing, caring about ourselves and others because we are all one- connected to God(s).
-Look for God within ourselves and others
-Work together to help animals, the earth, and human existence THRIVE not DIE!

So what do we do about human population with mental illness, retardation, massive injuries- sustaining life that cannot enjoy life! Look at the woman who was an advocate for acid burns, from the middle east, she couldn't take it any longer- what do we do about medical achievements like creating and controlling the outcome of life? In India, there is medicinal ways of healing our bodies from cancers, diseases, health issues that control our lives. In the Western civilization we try to control people with those conditions, using health problems to control populations. Allowing only so many people who have influential popularity to continue living while those who are poor die.   Why are we not allowing everyone to be healed through medicinal help? Why are we poisoning humanity with controlled substances which are made from engineered chemicals instead of using what God(s) have placed here on earth? You really think that God(s) created the earth with all it's plant life and animals so that we could bio-engineer chemicals to combat the human condition? You really think that God(s) want us to kill each other, to control one another? Is that why we have all the amazing plant life that can sustain and improve our health? 

How are we to change things for the better?
Expecting that someone will come down from above giving us answers, changing life as we know it, saving us from ourselves is ludicrous. We are releasing ourselves from responsibility. We need to take responsibility for what we have done to this planet, what we have done to animal populations, what we have done to our own population. War, disease, famine, destruction of everything we know. It's time to wake up and realize that there is no messiah that will come down from heaven to release us from this "hell on earth".. we must make the change, we must make the changes ourselves.. destiny is not created for us, it is we who create our own destiny. Do we want to fail or succeed? 
Expecting that a messiah will come down and release us from our responsibility is cowardly, we must take control of the existence of humanity and help one another. New laws, new justice, educate instead of condemn. Accept and tolerate differences instead of subjugation and control one another. How do we do this? Awareness of the problems, accepting of change and realize that what we have been doing, hasn't actually been working for everyone.

It is a cry for help, from the earth, from people everywhere. Some of us are becoming aware. it is our job to teach others. Is it possible to change without the presence of God(s)? Is it possible to have God(s) speak through humans, would that be enough to create the change in humanity to create a Utopia of happiness and prosperity for all humanity and to coexist with the animal kingdom and create an all knowing, appreciative God(s) worshiping society in which we all essentially live happily ever after? 
I think so.
