Once I had the attention of everyone on the planet (I'm assuming here that ALL religions would recognise me in the way they expect me to appear - athiests would see me as simply as a list of common sense ideals)-  I would ask that they all make just two tiny amendments to their interpretation of what I expect ....

1. Do not be so arrogant to assume that how YOU see me is the ONLY option. ALL other religions see me differently, and you know what.... that is OK.  You no longer have to despise those with different views or try to convert them. You are all right to perceive me as you do (AND SO IS EVERYBODY ELSE).

2. You, as a species, are part of the earth, you don't own it. Leave it as you you would wish to find it.

The problem with religions is they make God into a cartoon character, and deliver a kindergarten level of understanding of good and evil. Because, simply, bronze age barbarians of any race were unable to conceptualise anything more complex and involved. The occult sciences give a proper understanding of the nature of God etc, but are extremely difficult to understand. Modern man is far more intellectual than his ancestors, and understandably scoffs at the fairy tail, but has not yet developed the humility and wisdom to see the truths behind it. Some have an intuitive grasp of the truth and keep religion alive, but it's painful for them, both mentally and socially. The new age philosophies are various kinds of watered down "sanitised" versions of the real truth, and are dangerously misleading in their own way.

I suppose the obvious thing for a benign God to do would be to create a heaven full of love and understanding and sustainability and skip the Earthly bit.

Oh yes I would not create a Devil either.

But Bill, you have to ! Its a fundamental for humans, Prof. Petersen said so ! K
