RELIGION (6) - Is anybody there? (2)

2.1 In religions only God is INFINITE.

Everything apart from God has an end. The expanding space had a beginning, and so had the substance. Before the Big Bang there was the absolute Nothing, which means there was zero energy. This scientific approach seems to get closer to the religious way of thinking, that is, God created the world from nothing. The world started with the Logos. In the religious world view there are sacred and profane spaces.

Spaces becoming sacred through Revelations or Recognition (and even by human consecration). In general, people love to live near to sacred places, and they also love religious feasts. In fact, civil people created sacred places for themselves too. For instance, sacred are the place of birth, the schools, their home, and the most sacred is their bed. It requires great emotional proximity to get somebody else into your bed. Similarly, there are national commemorations, festivals and there are profane celebrations such as birthdays, name days.


2.2 TIME comes from the infinity and goes to the infinity. There are 2 theories; we can speak about circular time and linear time. The first is a characteristic of Far Eastern cultures. For instance, in Buddhism there is an era of water, fire, earth and air. In the Old Testament, however, the linear time theory comes back, but in this case the time has an end.



There is the God's plan, in what and for the realization of the Humankind joins forces with God.


Anyway, God's given us the freedom of choice. Such a freedom is the core point of the Existentialism too. However, according to this philosophy there is a passion for freedom, and this passion emerged through choices and decisions, and when people are free to choose, they choose themselves, and they are fighting to the death for this property.
