RELIGION DEDICATED TO MYLES MUNROE AND THE WORLD

Religion!
What is Religion?
Religion is defined as the adherence to a set of beliefs that regulate the moral, social and ritualistic behaviour of the individual in the society. It includes the atheist, communist, secularist, humanist, socialist or agonistic.. (Myles Munroe)

Every major problem in history and in our contemporary world can be traced to some religious foundation. Religion has motivated the massacre of millions over the years in such horrific events..

Perhaps this is one reason millions have turned away from all forms of institutionalised religions and embraced such philosophies as humanism, communism and agnosticism..

Our desire to worship and serve some deity which are claimed to be benevolent and loving, while at the same time demonstrating a destructive zeal motivated by our allegiance to this same deity..

Along the way I almost lost faith in the concept of religion and in a real sense had to seek for something beyond and superior to these defective practices created by man..

It is now an inherent hunger in the human spirit that man cannot define yet must seek to satisfy..
Generations of humans have attempted to satisfy this hunger through superstitions, sophisticated rituals, customs and even practices that often seem to defy human logic and reasoning..

Most human religious activities attempt to deal with the questions of mankinds existence and purpose as life after death and the unknown spiritual world.
Many of these religions are attractive because they promise there adherents power to control the circumstances or their daily lives, whether or not they can deliver on this promise is another matter..

Every one is searching for things in life: Power and Purpose - meaning for our existence and the power to control our lives and circumstances; power to determine the future and predict the unknown; power over death and life:
We seek this purpose and power in many ways: Religion, Politics, Money, Fame, Notoriety, Recognition and Influence..

All religions are the same in the sense that they attempt to answer the questions of power and meaning. They all promise power to control life and circumstances and to explain life and death. They all claim to have the truth. They all claim superiority over each other. They all compare and compete with each other..

All Religions seem to glory in a spirit of segregation rather than uniting humanity with common power and knowledge of purpose, Religion has proven itself instead to be the great divider of mankind which ought not to be so..
