God is no man at all. God is a spirit. A force. An indefinable and indescribable intelligence which is solely responsible for the creation of the universe - and everything in it. Religion got it all wrong from the moment it began referring to God by the personal pronouns of He and Him. God is no Him or He. God is a spirit, and spirit has no gender. Therefore, God should not be referred to by any personal pronoun. Religion is to be blamed for initiating that misunderstanding.

To be spiritual, we must be willing - and courageous enough - to think outside of the proverbial box. Have you ever asked yourself: If there is such a thing as a devil or a Satan, as religion purports, and if it is true that God is love, why then would God put the human race and Satan/the devil on the same planet! Is the universe so small that God could have made a mistake in doing this? Or, is it that God is really not love at all and, thus, does not care about whether or not Satan/the devil and the human race inhabit the same planet?

But - what if - neither of these two possibilities are correct or true. What if, instead, what is not true is that there is no...Satan or devil to begin with? Wouldn't that make more sense? And wouldn't it make even more sense that, actually, the only one to benefit from the existence of a Satan or the devil is...religion? For, in creating this Satan or devil, the churches, the religions, of the world would swell with the presence of men and women fearful of winding up in an everlasting Hell. I smell a lie in the religious air.

Do you?
