What does GOD want?

****************************************************

Lots of things that were true 5000 years ago may not be true today. Times change and conditions change.

Take for example, the concept of religion.

Religion started not to make people worship GOD or to gain followers. It was started with a motive, a motive that was noble enough at that point of time. It was towards the early phases of the start of society. The motive was to make living in society a better experience. It was to instill fear of unknown in the hearts to strengthen the concept of good and bad. It was to make people understand that some things are right and others are not so right and that one should refrain from doing those things being a part of the society where lives of people depended on each other.
It was to make them believe that they will get punished if they did the wrong things.
People at that time were not supposed to think as they were not capable enough. Thinkers and philosophers could influence people but all that was to make the life better.

Later on, the same concept was used by some people to gain power by having followers. People were asked not to think too much but rather to believe otherwise bad things would happen to them.
At this time, there were some people who really believed that a better way of life existed and they soon started having followers as people liked their ideas. But overall, the decline had begun.

Today, when most of the wars are being fought for religion.
Isn't it the time when people should wake up, open their minds to truth and see that following the preachings and teaching blindly that may have seemed like a right thing to be done 1000 years ago is not "the right thing" today.

If one believes in GOD, then the one thing to understand is that GOD did not make religion. Religions are just "ways of life". GOD does not want wars. GOD does not preach violence. GOD loves peace. GOD wants us all to use the ultimate gift HE has given to us. The gift is mind. Think on our own as to what is right and what is wrong.

If one believes in GOD truly, then they must understand that the biggest sin one can commit is not to use the gifts given by GOD. A heart full of love, a mind full of ideas.
Mind for creativity and development to make life easy. And a heart to love others and understand that giving love is finding GOD.

Everyone understand that GOD wants us to do the right thing. What is the right thing? GOD has given us brains to find the right thing.
