Isnt this Universe large enough for all the Gods and Goddesses?

Question

and peoples own personal beliefs? Why must some people become so militant if we do not believe the way they think we should. I dont care what your beliefs are and I wont judge you? So whats the problem?

Answer 1

Pride...the feeling of feeling right and others being wrong. I believe that every ones beliefs are right...when you die, your own belief in the afterlife becomes a reality, whether it's Heaven and Hell, or Reincarnation...or Nirvana...or whatever...Same with God(s) or Goddess(es)...whoever they believe exists...hate to say it but...every god might just exist...so suck it up Christians and Atheists....they all might be out there.

Answer 2

We limit the universe and all it contains when we limit our beliefs. Whatever God(s) or Goddess(es) someone believes in must certainly be greater than we can fathom. Those who have become so militant limit what can be accomplished through them because they have limited their belief.

Answer 3

I asked this same question the other day. I wonder if ppl would just learn a little tolerence, if we would even be at war today??? I totally agree with you the universe is certainly big enough for everyone and their beliefs. Can't we all just get along!!!

Answer 4

This universe is large enough for the whole of the Anunnaki, the triple Goddesses of all cultures, temporals, all otherworldly life, tachyonic and otherwise, dark matter, artron energy, and all the missing episodes of Doctor Who.

Answer 5

I don't care what your beliefs are and I won't judge you, there is only one God and yes the universes are big enough for him but alas God is so big there is not room for any other Gods or Goddesses.

Peace

Answer 6

sad isnt it. if we all agreed that we all had our beliefs this world would be a better place, but since 'everybody' believes that what they believe is the true and only way then there wil always be a problem

Answer 7

The universe is large enough for lots of gods and goddesses, but this planet is apparently not.

Answer 8

Because the one TRUE GOD is a jealous GOD......

and rightfully so, he made everything. Imagine if you spent a lot of time, say for example, training your dog and all of a sudden a complete stranger came and took all the credit and worship for it. That would hurt your feelings wouldn't it? Much, much more would it be then if you created all of humanity and earth and everything in it....... People try to create god's and theories and it hurts God.......

Isaiah 47: 10-11

10 You felt secure in your wickedness,
you said, “No one sees me”;
your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray,
and you said in your heart,
“I am, and there is no one besides me.”
11 But evil shall come upon you,
which you will not know how to charm away;
disaster shall fall upon you,
for which you will not be able to atone;
and ruin shall come upon you suddenly,
of which you know nothing.

It is important here to understand how the word jealous is used. How it used in Exodus 20:5 to describe God is different from how it is used to describe the sin of jealousy (Galatians 5:20). When we use the word jealous, we use it in the sense of being envious of someone who has something we don't have. A person might be jealous or envious of another person because he or she has a nice car or home (possessions). Or a person might be jealous or envious of another person because of some ability or skill that other person has (such as athletic ability). Another example would be that one person might be jealous or envious of another because of his or her beauty.

When we look at this verse, we find that it is not that God is jealous or envious because someone has something He wants that He does not possess. Exodus 20:4-5 says, "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God..." Notice that in this verse God is talking about being jealous if someone gives something that belongs to Him to another.

In these verses, God is speaking of people making idols and bowing down and worshiping those idols instead of giving God the worship that belongs to Him alone. God is possessive of the worship and service that belong to Him. It is a sin (as God points out in this commandment) to worship or serve anything other than Him. So, in summary, it is a sin when we desire, or we are envious, or we are jealous of someone because he has something that we do not have. It is a different use of the word jealous when God says He is jealous. What He is jealous for belongs to Him; worship and service belong to Him alone, and are to be given to Him alone.

Perhaps a practical example will help us to understand the difference. If a husband sees another man flirting with his wife, he is right to be jealous, for only he has the right to flirt with his wife. This type of jealousy is not sinful. Rather, it is entirely appropriate. Being jealous for something that belongs to you is good and appropriate. Jealousy is a sin when it is a desire for something that does not belong to you. Worship, praise, honor, and adoration belong to God alone, for only He is truly worthy of it. Therefore, God is rightly jealous when worship, praise, honor, or adoration is given to idols. This is precisely the jealousy the Apostle Paul described in 2 Corinthians 11:2, "I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy..."

I hope this sums it up from a CHRISTIAN prospective..... :-)

As you know, some famous religions involve(d) human sacrifice... Religion ultimately affects how we treat each other.
