I have been reading this forum and the argument between if there is God or if there isnt one.
Here is the biggest question for all the people who do not believe in God -
Is your understanding of God limited to what Christians, Muslims and Jews have to say?
Because it seems to me it is.
Whenever there is a discussion about if there is a God, everyone reference Bible and question divinity of Christ - what does Bible have to do with your view of God?
Is to you God only what Christians happen to say it is? Is it only limited to what Jews and Muslims are fighting about?
What if God is Universe, and it has created us from itself? What if God is Mother Nature? What if God is everything we see, including ourselves?
There is no such argument in any of the threads around - all everyone argues about is how Christians are wrong - do you not see divinity and mysticism beyond Christianity?
Isn't that frighting?
And a question for you who do believe in Judeo-Christian-Allah -
Do you find it absolutely fulfilling to believe what people tell you about god? Do you not believe you yourself should experience God in your own way, or is it absolutely fine with you to believe what other men have told you to believe?
If you believe God has sent you, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad to speak to you, at only one time in History, why has your God stopped speaking to you? Has he got nothing else to say apart from Torah, Bible and Quran?

My knowledge is not limited to what popular religions have to say, in fact, all that they know is based on other(more interesting) religions, and cultures. I study these other cultures, trying to find common points between them, and trying to find the origin of certain myths, and beliefs.
It is said that all religions, and cultures came from the ancient people called Aryans, their religion resembles hinduism is many aspects, and hinduism itself originated from it. Buddhism, and Jainism descended from hinduism, thats why they have so many elements in common with hinduism. Other religions like celtic religion, greek, many other european religions are believe to have originated from Aryan religion too. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are religions that decended from other ancient religions that decended from Aryans. So this aryan religion could be the base of all modern religion, and mysticism that exist today.
Thats what I like to do, search for the origin of all modern beliefs, and its original meaning, like Satanīs meaning that originally was a good thing, but christianity misundertand it(probably intentionally by political reasons).
I tend to think of god as something we are apart of, and I see it in everything...you can work with this and access this also....and it's true, yes...why would anyone think that god only spoke in a book that is thousands of years old and would stop speaking today....Strange isn't it?
As far as "A gods or goddesses"...to me those may be representations of many aspects, parts, or qualities of the whole of what is all around us as in forces of the negatives and positives, and nature at work.....For a single god only...to me this is making of man for control, or also could be a whole entity, but was twisted by man for control by attaching many rules for acceptance by this god....living a life of guilt because you will never measure up.....To me the idea of god is much larger.

I believe there is no such thing as an original belief - because every religion springs and feeds on one another. No religion is on its own, by itself and original - it has been borrowing from all others, and this includes Hinduism.
But the interesting thing, that most of those religions claim that they are ''the one true religion''
