“If God was not, He would have to be invented” by MM
These are the words of Voltaire the French philosopher. And as we look at the death and destruction globally, the hate and hypocrisy in religions, the greed of the world’s billionaires, the wannabe billionaire leaders, and the poor, the weak who are always among us, where else can man and woman get solace in these times?
As HIH Haile Selassie said, “Religions are all made by man” and time controlled, hence like the times they must evolve. The time has come to realize that our technology-controlled youth of the world demand more than wordy speeches. Religion has got to be active and reach out to help people in physical need. Religion must evolve with the people, especially now, as our future generation rejects the basic activities of the Church, now reduced to the once a week preaching and collection of the widow’s mite.
When the Son of Man declared, “Peter on which I build my church’ his words were clearly mis interpreted, as Peter means ‘rock’ of which the churches are built. But it is man, flesh and blood on which the real church is built, and the devil continues to prevail against man.
Over the past two thousands years, the proliferation of rock churches throughout the world gave rise to religious ceremonies, which for the most part fed the spirit but left the poor and hungry, still poor and unfed. The rock called for clearly was not a stone building but mankind being the Church. The people, the rock on which the Church is built are expected to care for the sick, feed the hungry, visit the imprisoned, help the helpless, and care for the children.
The Basilica is erected in Rome on its own land and commands authority as an independent country, with its own laws and constitution. The Church of England is headed by the Throne, the King or Queen, and the people of God pay tithes and collection, to maintain the service of the church buildings and the clergy who live and maintain the rock churches. Had mankind listened beyond the word ’rock’ they may have heard, “Feed my lambs!”
Today rock churches all over the world are empty, some have been turned into places of entertainment where young people disco instead of giving praise. Those antiquated and misinterpreted commands of the ‘church’ are now ignored by the youth, whose moral platform has shifted to technology, without spirituality.
If mankind does not consider the teachings of love, and kindness, and personal responsibility for each other as the ‘Church,’ the next generation will continue to praise technology, instead of giving thanks for the use of technology to make life easier for the poor and dejected to rise as they are entitled.
The Church needs to reinvent God for mankind.

I happened, to mention the Church of England and the Catholic Church, as two of the holy, entities which have caused and are responsible for the destruction of HUEmanity, through said processes and indoctrinations, of religion and why, some of today’s behaviors and thought processes which are destroying HUEmanity can be attributed to these Centuries old religions institutions.
I have no idea what got into “MM’s” head, thought process over her lifetime, but I can feel where you came from, went with and would like to go with this piece.

Philippians 1:15-18
Whatever agenda they may have I am for the defense of the gospel.
Make sure Christ is preached.
Well said makada …. I wonder if these people know that money can’t but they way into heaven, but then again most of them don’t believe in God …the greed of mankind have left this world so messed up.. the new beliefs that I must accept two opposite sex as the norm …
Nearing the end, the wicked pretend they invented morality.
My dear friend Makeda God was indeed invented since the human mind had to find a simple explanation for everything that exist.
I would advise young people to investigate for themselves the origins of the different religions of the world. Some were manmade while others consider themselves to be revealed truth. God, himself, revealed to persons who he was and what he wanted us to do. Each person looks at the evidence and decides for himself or herself which path to follow, and we should respect one another’s choices once they are peaceful, as most religions are. As for what religions should do today… If a religious path was revealed by God then the sensible thing to do would be to follow what he says not what a random internet writer says. If you believe your religion to be manmade but you want to follow it then naturally you would be following the rules of the religion. So, if an internet writer believes religions should do this or that perhaps they should invent their own religions and stop telling other people what to do. Stop trying to interpret other people’s scriptures for them since if you don’t believe them then you don’t really understand what they are saying. Let’s just agree to disagree respectfully. If a person thinks the young people need help they are free to start their own religious or non-religious organization to help out. The young people causing most of the trouble are not normally the ones regularly attending religious ceremonies. So, perhaps non-religious persons should figure out how to get their non-religious youth to do the “right” thing without religion if that is at all possible instead of spending their time telling churches that they don’t believe in what to do?
Now you’re broke you mind set has changed as you seek sympathy.. you can only fool some of the people some of the time MM..
The so-called “Devil” have no power over me, so therefore I cannot speak to what powers this “Devil” may have, but I can speak to the powers of the creator(God), and I can speak to his power, despite not putting a foot in a church building in over 13 yrs, and about two times in the last 23 years.
All I can say is this..
Live is for the living, so live, not just follow, but also live..God can certainly appreciate that, because at the end of the day, every man has to give account for his own actions..and no matter how we disagree which each other from time to time, that fact cannot be disputed…we all have give account for our own actions.
*life is for the living*
Careful who you follow. The bible says God will return…in a time when they look not for him. Makeda will have to answer for herself. You consider your own soul.
My friend Makeda turns spiritual or religious. Means it is time to take stock and repent. For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
Matthew 16:13-19
21st Century King James Version
13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”
14 And they said, “Some say that Thou art John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, “Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father who is in Heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven.”
There are many interputations of this one chapter and that what makes religion so difficult. Why did Jesus spoke in parables.
I have heard this preached by many different priests and pastors and bishops and all interpret this different. And yet all spoke in one way or another to my heart.
What then should I do. Take the one that touches the heart the most? It is all Revelation.
Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” 14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.”[a] And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I am has sent me to you.
Do you know the 100 names of GOD?
