The Almighty and Mother Earth

Sometimes those that leave organized religion have a hard time at first. I believe it may be because it's so efficient in indoctrinating its followers with falsehoods and incorrect notions. Remember, a lot of what it is taught from the pulpits of the world are not taken from the scriptures. That in itself is hypocritical. Evil things.

It is also hypocritical to teach one thing, but do another. I don't have to go into the specifics, but you know you see it every day on the news. Bible thumpers leave their congregations and do their own thing.

Let's not forget the Christianity's history with stirring up wars on our Mother's surfaces. She has nearly drowned in the blood of her inhabitants.

As a Deist, I do believe in the Almighty. One can see the accuracy (like a clock) of our Universe's movements. I do believe it was created. Do I believe though, that He has a hand in earth's affairs? Clearly not. Examples:

1. A car accident involving two vehicles. All survive in one, but the driver in the other car dies. The survivors say that God was with them and saved them. Why wouldn't he logically save ALL the people in the accident if he had a hand in guiding the event in the first place?

2. Two friends are expecting babies. One survives to term. The other baby passes away at birth. Someone proclaims, "God needed an angel so he took the baby!" One, God can create his own angels. How unloving it would be to give a baby to someone only to take it away. Two, that portrays the Almighty as a very unloving being. Do you really believe that?

People live and die every single day. The scriptures in Ecclesiastes even say that "time and the thing unseen befall all people." There you go.

One thing that we can be assured of though, is that the Universe runs things very well. If He created it, why wouldn't it? I've written about how things are managed and taken care of by the Universe. Whatever good thing you send out, you receive good things in return, but sending out evil and negative only result in it returned in two, sometimes three-fold. We call it Karma. Grandma always said, what goes around comes around. The Bible calls it reaping what we sow. See? Everything is connected. Similar teachings run like thread through all faiths, believers, non-believers, Pagans, Wiccans, and even Atheists.

We should treat our earth as our Mother. She indeed does care for all of our needs. She stands placed by the Creator to do exactly as she does.

And doesn't that make perfect sense? He created, She continues with the task of attending to her inhabitants.

Not only does Earth provide for our needs, she holds hands with the Universe. From that we gain protection, power and strength from the Elements: Air, Earth, Fire, Water, and Spirit.

It's all pretty easy to understand if you remove the cloak of untruth seen in organized religion and dwell on these very simple to understand facts. There is an Almighty. We live in accord with the Earth Mother. The Universe runs it all like clockwork.

Amen and Blessed Be
