Future of Religion

.
The world is shrinking, exclusive conclaves would become obsolete and people will be living together more harmoniously than ever before as the new society would define it as a necessity.

Religion will continue to be an important aspect of people’s life, but it will be the religion of justice that Moses taught, religion of love and forgiveness that Jesus taught, religion of humility and equality that Mohammad taught, religion of taking responsibility for one's good and bad that Zarthustra taught, religion for caring for others that so many earth based and indigenous traditions taught, religion of respect for every being that Krishna and Mahavir taught, religion of caring (even) for the enemies that Nanak taught and the idea of one humanity that Bahaullah taught… and all the goodness that every peace maker in the world has contributed to.

Despite the issues of the world, we will be living in a better tomorrow.

exclusive to inclusive societies

.

As the societies evolve,
exclusive conclaves of groups by faith,
race, ethnicity or culture will fade.

A more inclusive society would evolve.

We created God

.
Mike Ghouse

Whether we are theists or atheists,
we humans find our own balance.
I would rather say “we have created God in our own image
and every image works for the follower.”

Responsible Capitalism

.
Mike Ghouse Wisdom;

I believe in responsible capitalism, where one's short term self interest blends in with her/his long term self interest. Meaning, you don't take advantage of any, if you do, you will pay it in terms of tension and insecurity, and perhaps get used to walking on needles. If you base your life on justness in all your dealings be it with your family members, friends, your shareholders and your customers you cannot go wrong. You cannot be safe and secure, when others around you aren't.

Pluralism

Pluralism is an attitude of accepting the otherness of other and respecting the God given uniqueness of each one of the seven billion of us - Mike Ghouse

#

Religious

To be religious (and to be spiritual) is to mitigate conflicts and nurture goodwill for peaceful co-existence of life and matter; indeed that is the will of God, an overall balance - Mike Ghouse

Otherness of Other

If we can learn to accept the otherness of other, and respect the God given uniqueness of each one of the seven billion of us, then conflicts fade and solutions emerge. - Mike Ghouse
