What is known as the meeting place for the worship of God has rather become a kingdom of fool-some idiocy where the most dunderheaded things happen. The church, the mosque, the shrine, or the synagogue are all the places where extreme foolhardiness takes place under the guise that members are worshipping God. Here, there is singing or drumming or chanting or screaming or rolling or bowing or howling or scraping or flogging or confession or fake miracles or kissing of the ground or speaking in tongues or preaching nonsense or witch hunting or performing many other plain fooleries.
So the space for the worship of God is now nothing more than a place where ignorant and obsequious humans gather to perpetrate madness or stupidity in their worship of God without any fear that they will be confined in a mental asylum. Outside of the holy space of their worship, no place else exists anywhere where the conduct of these people could be tolerated without attracting psychiatric sanction. To wit, if one were to perform outside of the church or mosque or synagogue or shrine any of the stupid activities that these devotees freely perform within the church, one would risk being sent straight into confinement in an asylum, or even prison: These holy places are places where someone could stump on the stomach of a pregnant woman and go scot-free. The temple of God is where you are asked to pay tithes to your pastor on the promise of future prosperity, and when this future prosperity fails to materialize, one repeats the act over and over again without results and yet continues to pay notwithstanding the absence of results. The sanctuary of God is where the pastors insult their fellow pastors and curse out the enemies and boast of how much more money they have than their fellow pastors. The holy space is where rituals of fakery are performed to achieve empty-headed results; where your mother is characterized as a witch causing your failure in life, and where your own foolish behavior is asported or ascribed to spiritual attack. The church is the place for the substitution of reasoning with an ancient and archaic writings by people you don’t know and who don’t know you. In the church, a book is presented to you of vain and wicked characters, so that you can walk their walk in vainglorious life and copy their character to become wicked in character.
And here you are being told to sell your brain by faith in order to substitute it with the trash and filth emanating from the pulpit, where your songs of praise are equally for the church leaders as much as to an egotistic God. Where the nonsense emanating from the preacher is to be construed for the voice of God.
It follows conclusively that where two or three or any group of people are met in the name of God, there, stupidity is freely churning out through the gutter of their mental filth. And the worship of God truly becomes nothing more than a competition amongst those striving to reach the apogee of insanity.
And to understand all these, one must imagine himself to be God, and to ask himself whose worship is most acceptable: The one fasting or praying or singing or rolling on the ground or bowing and speaking in tongues; or the person daily engaged in righteous living: extending kindness to his fellow men, extolling honesty and integrity, promoting the wellbeing of others and showing compassion to the needy?
And if the choice of the righteous is evident to you, why not proceed on that path? What are you doing in the holy place while you have been told the story of the two groups; one on the right side of the Christ, clothing and feeding people, and being admitted into the kingdom of God, while the second group on the left are being scandalized for being mean?
So now choose what you will do, whether in your wisdom, you will engage in this hopeless and useless exercise that brings you nothing but grief. Choose between carrying out acts of mere faith and belief that will make you substitute your reasoning and logic to the faith without receiving anything back ……Choose to perform those actions with no use to your life and team up with the screaming folks, the dancing and shouting folks engaged in generally useless activities which take so much of your time….
Or choose the path of integration of your worship with the creation of human civilization, human welfare, human well-being, human happiness…..love, honesty, integrity, humility, dignity, and righteousness and faithfulness. Choose those things that will make you an architect of human civilization. Choose to preserve the environment, to ensure the quality of life for other people…….for the widows, for the orphans…... Choose to teach the ignorant of the ways of life….of the promotion of human dignity. And choose as your worship of God what concerns those people he regarded as those in need; feed the hungry, cloth the naked, visit the miserable in prison and provide water to those who are thirsty. Choose those who were on the right side of Jesus Christ! Also, choose the work of the Good Samaritan, the one that helped the needy and chose faith in action. Choose love of your neighbor as yourself and choose the service to man as your service to God.
For the true worship of God has nothing to do with the church or the mosque or the synagogue or the shrine. The true worship of God consists in doing all the good things that you know how to do, and refraining from all the bad things that you must refrain from, and searching constantly to know all that you must know to live right.
