Belief and non-belief are the same thing

Over the past 6 months I have had a drastic change in the way I see things and believe things spiritually. I will probably explain this in several different future posts. Basically at this point, I would consider myself an ardent, very sceptical, questioning, believer. All of this began while I was reading about UFO's earlier this year. I became very sceptical about the phenomenon and I saw many parallels to religion and other belief systems. I will also explain this later and in more detail.

Tonight, as I was doing dishes I had these thoughts. Why must we "believe" in God? Why is it so important in various texts that we declare him our Father and think about him and worship him? Why is it so important to other people and groups that we believe in God. If he truly is our father then does our belief in him keep him alive, is it all that makes him real? If no one recognized him as real and everyone lost their belief in him, what would happen? Would he disappear, would we? I think these are all really good questions to ask.

If he truly is our father, would he not love us, belief in him or not? Why would we expect any less of him. If he truly is our father, would he not send us off on our "Earthly" adventure and wish us well? Could we just be joyous that we will have a reunion and see him again someday instead of prostrating ourselves on Earth, being constantly divided up, and at odds with one another over this.

I truly hope he is our father and not just an appendage of our consciousness, it would be nice to continue on as spirits and not be alone but to have celestial family. If this is the case, then I trust that all he requires of us is the same thing he requires of himself, to love. Worship is not love, nor is division. Love is much much simpler than we realize and even more powerful.
