Why Did God Die?

Hello Readers, it has been way too long... Life has be a laundry list of busyness for while. I had a great topic come to mind and want to write about it! So here we go... Enjoy!

Why did God die when life on other planets became

accepted by the majority? Let me give you a foreword... I am talking about monotheist religions specifically and with a Buddhist perspective. I was part of Judeo-Christendom for 23 years, as I have said that too many times in my blog. So I have a really good understanding of both and in-between religions of said belief. I am not sure if my conversion to Buddhism 4 years ago as my core beliefs that have me seeing the possibility of life out there among the stars. Do I think there is intelligent life on other planets? Of course, there is too high of probability of it and I totally didn’t rule it out in those 23 years either.

Since the monotheist religions formed there hadn’t been thought of what was outside of Earth. Once modern

astronomy, started less than 1,000 years ago, the thought probably started popping into people’s heads then, at least a little. However, it was not until the 19th century until other worldly people possibility became common place mention by many, constantly increasing through the years. Now there is the Ancient Astronaut theory. Is that true? I cannot say yes or no. We have seen some interesting stuff that can point to it, going back millennia, and it is thought provoking stuff... I just need a little more proof. Like fossils or aircraft that is definitely not ours dating way back, or something very significant.

Anyway, I noticed something that happening especially while growing up, monotheistics would not believe in aliens because God created life here, no where else, or something to that affect anyway. I never saw why life on other planets was a cancellation of God, more specifically a Creator God. The prophets of the Bible left out a lot to the imagination... like dinosaurs... not to be mention a ton of other details of Earthly existence. Why not leave out our brothers and sisters across the universe? The universe is so massive, and increasingly getting bigger, the elements of life landed to Earth and created the conditions of intelligent life’s beginning, why couldn’t it have happened somewhere else? Would seem like He or She wasted space, and a lot of it, if not.

Interestingly enough the thought in extraterrestrial life has now became a belief of the majority of the public, the Pope said there was a possibility of life on other planets, and so on. The Drake Equation points to them not being too far away. I just do not understand why religion rejected the idea so much so very. There are UFOs in famous Christian paintings, so really it is not ridiculous that there is intelligent somewhere. Now is they have been here? Who knows and it will be a very long time before that question could ever be answered. At least that is my thought.

In my own opinion, as a Buddhist, I think there are a lot

more people caught in the Samsara than just the beings on the planes on this planet that we as Buddhists know are here. Maybe the sightings of UFOs are just those of higher planes dropping in to say “hi”? Whatever may be the truth regarding intelligent life outside of Earth, or weird sightings of something, make no impact on my religious practice or beliefs.

Never Stop...

Hello Readers... It has been way too long. Life has been hectic, which is why you have not heard from me in many months. I hope to be posting a bit more frequently but we will see how that goes. I hope you enjoy...

So today is Easter... You know what that means to me? Nothing. Why? It has nothing to

do with me in any way shape or form. How many of you go yo Easter Dinner just because that is what you do? How many of you say “Thank God”, even though you have not held a Bible in years? What I am getting at is how much of your spirituality is just routine from your family’s traditions, none of which are your own? Why not search for answers that you what to find? Are you worried about what family members will have to say? If you are then you may have more problems than you think....

I was stuck for so long in what ever my family practiced is what I was. After 2+ decades I changed that paradigm. Now I am in constant pursuit of answers, and will never stop looking and evolving in some way shape or form. I am a Buddhist with a twist these days, and have been for several years now. I am trying to detach myself from labels as much as I possibly can, which is a huge switch from the past. I also have Jainism, Witchcraft, Chakra, and other influences that are all rolled up into things I believe. One thing I have said for years is there is no one single religion that is 100% correct, 90% would be a long shot in my opinion. So we have to look for what makes us the best person, helps us, helps others, and causes no harm to others. This is at a minimum. If you are reaching this goal you are doing great, I think. If your practice/faith makes you happy too, then you are definitely in great standing. It can be a Christian Faith too, it just didn’t work for me.

I am not in a frame of mind to write anything lengthy, but felt I needed to write something since it has been a long, actually I think the longest, gap in between posts. This I suppose is just an Easter reminder to always keep looking for your spiritually questions to be answered. Never stop until you are satisfied. If you are never satisfied, never stop. Never stop...
