The presence of spirituality in my life has been increasing steadily and I spend quite a bit of time thinking about God and what God might be like.

In particular, the judgmental/punishing side of God has been on my mind.

I came recently across a few interesting articles, which have sparked my desire to share my thoughts.

I will not use the Bible for support for the following reasons:

1. I do not know it well enough

2. Reportedly it has been edited for the benefits of possessive humans

3. Being God's creation I hope I am connected with the Creator and with each of you so we in fact, one way, or another we know "what God thinks and feels and had said" without knowing the book itself.

The obedience to God is only through our existence; nothing more. If there was no 'us" there would be no God in the sense we think of Him.

But without us God would still exist in the very form of just being, just existing. He existed long before any human dared to breathe and he will exist long after the last drop of water on our planet has evaporated.

It would almost appear that God is not concerned with anything but his own existence. He does not want any interactions with humans, because he knows them to well. He created them. He knows, that if he had started the interactions, there would be claims for him to do more, questions why did He respond one way and not another. There would be countless complaints and eventually He would become one of the arguing factions on a Saturday market or in a Boardroom!

God does not want that. God has trust in us, because He loves us.

There are two main forces driving us: love and fear, where the latter is the resultant of the imaginary perception that God's love might stop one day and then what?! A fear is born! A fear is born out of an imaginary lack of love. Could love be born out of an imaginary lack of fear?! I don't think so!

Love does not need to be born. Love was, is and always will be.

Fear has been installed in most of us by other fellow humans, who feared that they would not be loved. How wrong they were! God loves us all, doesn't he? And God's love is all that matters.

Humans can not make other humans love them, but they can make others fear them; that's for sure! And why? Because our ego is aware of the illusory time and it wants to be worshipped now! Not later. The Ego does not love anybody, even itself. The ego sits in time and constantly fears that the time will pass and there will
