Is it time to replace this God with a new God ?

No, we need to dump religion entirely. It’s the cause of an inordinate amount of the world’s problems.

I have said for many years that organized religion is the single greatest evil in the world today.

Sounds like the Anti Christ…

Think we elected him 2016 and 2024. Well… we elected a weird dude that is acting the part.

Not sure I agree. I don’t trust the religious to interpret what is meaningful.

I guess, like everything else, it's on a scale. Some do, some don't.

One of the more surprising bits of data I've pondered over the last decade or so is the fact that 70% or so of Christians believe that other faiths can lead to God. Many Americans Say Other Faiths Can Lead to Eternal Life

I think that in this, like in so many other examples, the tradition as a whole gets characterized by its critics according to its worst elements.

I agree, and … I just don’t trust humans to not consistently interpret mythology in a self serving, self centering, exclusionary, and potentially violent manner. The baseline of humans for humans, bc we’re social creatures, seems enough of a principle vs complex and frequently contradictory mythologies that inevitably center the believer as righteous and/or on the path.

This is good for sure
