I believe all churches and houses of worship, regardless of denomination or variant of other religions, should work together on positive, most beneficial messages from God. Therefore, I do not believe in continuing to create separate segmented religions. On the other hand, we must all work together towards transitioning our planet Earth to a more sustainable planet Earth. I believe we all should be able to attend any house of God (maybe “home” sounds better because it includes the love from people who are part of God and the church). Therefore, I recommend that those more knowledgeable about religion and differences begin to focus on similarities that all faiths have while striving to understand the differences so we can spend more time learning about them. Once we become more knowledgeable about what causes divisiveness and differences, maybe we can overcome them and create an Earth church, removing the extreme anthropocentric philosophy while integrating nature concepts and knowledge. Spiritual ecology should also be a part of every church because it incorporates concepts about nature, which I believe is divine. Wouldn’t it be great if we could go to any church, whether it be the closest (least environmentally impacting and more integral community forming) or any other church we would like to attend anywhere on Earth, so we can all feel more comfortable knowing that our extended families are everyone on Earth? Likewise, there is a comfort in knowing that any house of God will be lovingly similar to every other church on Earth.
Imagine the comfort, joy, love, and hope associated with that concept. It is a more unifying concept than exists today. Doesn’t it also get rid of the division, divisiveness, complexity, and confusion as well? It also gets us moving towards a sustainable striving planet Earth by working together in a more unified functioning that brings our hearts and minds together towards a more suitable purpose and functioning. Freedom of religion really should be about knowledge transference and education. Understandably, each individual may believe something different, and it is healthy to worship or pray in their own way. These differences that people may believe ought to be discussed, and quite possibly, the churches may continually learn and adapt through time as we know more. Every individual can contribute to learning about God and Nature together. If we integrate this continual learning concept, the church will not get stagnant with solely out-of-context and often outdated philosophy, especially when the context may have been when the Romans were fighting the Israelites. Much suffering was occurring during that period. The temporal notion of changing times is an important one, and the way I look at it, we will begin continuously making the world a better place all the time in a continually improving way. The less we focus on the negative, the less chance that religion will contribute to extreme perspectives that may harm our society and planet directly or indirectly. Any spirituality should be an entirely positive impacting experience. We must focus and learn more about these positive, broader context things God tried to communicate with us and know as much about nature and knowledge of everything. We will be better off if we transform into a continual improvement sustainable striving context. Imagine a world without end.
