God - The Truth -- The Lies: Thoughts on Truth, Peace, Human Rights and the Value of Human Life

Sagan

Chapter 1: Truth and Lies

There is an eternal conflict between the truth and the non-truth. Particularly with reference to the lack of Peace in this world, it is obvious that non-truths drive deceitful and dangerous conflict-causing religious and governmental agendas. Both truthful and non-truthful means are often used to secure wealth and power. However, the non-truth is intentionally used as the primary means to acquire wealth and powers that cannot realistically be achieved through truthful, honest, or Peaceful means.

Much of what we learned and will discuss in this book is referenced to the book "Right is Might" at www.alphapub.com written by the late author, Richard W. Wetherill.

Wetherill writes:

"There are two kinds of law; nature’s law of creation and man-made law. Man-made law requires human enforcement, is easily violated, and must be prosecuted by man to remain valid. Nature’s laws when not obeyed do their own punishing. He called the natural laws the laws of absolute right and states that right actions get right results while wrong actions get wrong results. When human behavior fails to meet nature’s laws the situations are unresolved and remain troublesome and chaotic. Man’s violations of nature’s law are why there is on-going warfare, political and economic chaos, and the eroding of human rights and freedoms".

(We highly recommend taking the time to read Right is Might. The information in his book is important for anyone that is seeking to learn more about what drives their own thoughts and behavior.)

Scientific research is based on the idea that everything that takes place is determined by, laws of nature, and therefore this holds for the action of people. For this reason, a research scientist will hardly be inclined to believe that events could be influenced by a prayer, i.e. by a wish addressed to a Supernatural Being.--

Albert Einstein, 1936, The Human Side.

Since no person knows for a fact who or what type of entity (if any) created the universe and especially the earth and the life that inhabits it, we will refer to that unknown entity as our creator or unknown creator. The word creator seems to be the proper word to use for our purpose. We will not claim there is a creator because that would mean we know that for a fact, and we don’t. However, we simply conclude that there was a creator of some sort because of the known physical evidence we are presented with. We will use the word creator as being the unknown, yet responsible element for our existence and survival, and not in relation to a God like being. We realize this is the huge difference between that totally unknown creator of life and the totally known fantasy-based mythological Gods revealed by man’s religions. We will be examining these obvious differences throughout this book.

By design, the laws of nature apply to all people at all times without exception and apply to the basic functions of all things at all times. The laws of nature cannot be considered an accidental occurrence, therefore must be considered a predesigned plan for how all things are to function and survive.

Where did these natural laws come from? Clearly, the laws of nature were not created by man’s religions or the known religious Gods because the many different and conflicting religious laws and ideologies do not all align with or obey the right and wrong action laws of nature. When understanding these laws of nature it can only be concluded that there was or is some form of unknown higher power or creator beyond what the human mind can comprehend. However, it is not hard or impossible to learn about, know and understand the laws of nature and learn how to apply those laws of nature to our everyday personal and social existence.

With the mysteries of how all life on earth came into existence still unsolved, it logically makes sense to assume that some form of unknown high power or creator is responsible for the existence of all life on earth.

If people accept the fact that some form of unknown creator created all human life, people must also accept the fact that as part of their human makeup the unknown creator inserted the conscience knowledge of and the natural instinctive obedience to those laws of nature into the instincts and consciences of all people.

If what is instinctively known to be right is always right for all people and what is instinctively known to be wrong is always wrong for all people, then people must assume those instinctively known right and wrong laws of nature were intended to be the primary guiding force for how all people should think and behave in order to reach their common and instinctive goal of a safe, prosperous and Peaceful existence.

All people have been given an instinctive responsibility along with all of the instinctive knowledge and natural abilities necessary to overcome their own self inflicted obstacles created by their wrong actions. Overcoming wrong actions requires doing away with all of the wrongful things people do, believe and support that keeps people from reaching their common and instinctive goals of living together with all others in a safe, prosperous and Peaceful world.

Obviously, the people’s conscience and instincts are part of the elements of the human mind that is necessary to insure the survival of the entire human species. Since the instincts and conscience of all people were injected, so to speak, with the same exact knowledge of the creators’ laws of nature, all people will always instinctively respond the same way to those laws of nature unless people consciously or knowingly choose not to obey those laws of nature and take the chance there will be no consequence. Since all people have been pre-programmed with the same instinctive knowledge of the laws of nature people must assume that there is a natural common bond all people share that makes all people want to pursue the same common things while attempting to reach the same common goals.

Man’s religions want people to believe that the connection to God is through a belief in that particular religion’s fantasy driven ideologies that require strict obedience to the man-made laws of that religion. The confusing aspect of religious belief is each different religion has its own individual ideas on what people need to believe and do in order to be connected to their fantasy-based mythological God. How can there be any truth to religious beliefs if those religious beliefs are all based on different speculated interpretations of the real creator of life?

Obviously, man’s religions do recognize the natural laws of creation. This is evident by the fact that man’s religions need to create their own religious laws that the religions want people to believe supersede those natural laws. Man’s religions want people to believe that their fantasy-based religious Gods hold a higher position than our creator and their religious laws hold a higher position than the natural laws of creation. This clearly indicates that man’s religions and religious laws are in direct competition with our creator and nature’s laws. This competition shows that man’s religious Gods and our creator are not the same and are two different things.

The question is: what is the truth and what is the lie?

We believe all people are internally connected to their creator in the same exact way through the human instincts because the human instincts are always guided by the laws of nature that influence the thoughts and behavior of all people at all times. It was early mans lack of understanding of his own instincts and how those instincts were designed to automatically respond to the laws of nature that lead to the creation of the fantasies man’s religions have adopted to formulate their God mythologies.

It comes as no surprise that all people are confused or lost when trying to understand where they came from or who was responsible for their existence leading man to speculate and develop God-like theories as a way to satisfy man’s common instinctive need for a spiritual connection to his real creator. Early man simply looked to the religious fantasies to find his creator rather than looking within himself to find his real connection to his creator. Sadly, even today, religious people do the same exact thing. If early man had really discovered a real true God, early man would not have needed to develop any religions or fantasy-based God mythologies. There is no need to believe in fantasy when the truth is known. Believing in any type of fantasy simply means believing in something that is not real or known for a fact.

The religious confusion continues when one religion teaches that their God created people to be one particular way and another religion teaches the opposite. This type of religious thinking does not even attach to the simplest form of logic or common sense where as our creator created all people to be the equals with the same common desires and same instinctive knowledge of the natural laws.

Either there is one true God - or man’s religions have created their own individual Gods to suit their own religious ideologies and agendas.

If a religion needs to create its own God and God mythologies than logically that religion has no knowledge of any real God.

Man’s religions segregate and divide the human race, whereas our creator made people to be part of one human race with the one set of common and equal laws of nature and one set of common goals that all people instinctively want to reach. Division creates conflict and unity creates Peace, just as knowing the truth creates unity and believing the lie causes division and conflict. Human logic should play some part when people choose between following their creators’ laws of nature based on the truth or following man’s religious laws based on fantasy driven mythological deceptions.

There is a two choice dilemma the laws of nature create. One choice comes from choosing the truth and doing things the right way by living within the limits of the laws of nature that will provide people a Peaceful and prosperous existence on this earth. The opposite choice is choosing to live by the lie and doing things the wrong way that creates a chaotic and conflict filled human existence. Humans are the only animal species that has been given the free choice as to how they want to exist on this earth. Basically, people always have the opportunity to choose the right way or the wrong way of doing things. The end results will always be determined by the choices people make.

Clearly, man did not create the laws of nature nor does man have any powers or authority to change or control any of our creators’ laws of nature. People can violate nature’s laws but will always instinctively know or feel they will suffer some consequence for doing so. These natural feelings indicate that those laws of nature are always known and being enforced. Man has no powers or authority to forgive him or others for any violations of our creators’ laws of nature without first receiving forgiveness from those that were harmed by a violation of the laws of nature.

Nature’s laws are unwritten yet instinctively known by all people, predetermined and fixed, ever present, always being enforced, impossible to ignore or amend, self punishing, apply equally to all people without exception and are all based on seeking, knowing and obeying the truth in order to survive, succeed and exist together in a civilized and Peaceful manner.

The primary and most dominant law of nature is called "the law of truth". The truth is pre-determined and fixed within the instinctive human makeup of all people allowing all people to know the difference between right and wrong. What is always right or always wrong within our human existence has already been pre-determined by our creator and inserted into the instincts and conscience of all people and this cannot be changed or ignored.

The truth is always instinctively known as being the right way and the primary component needed for doing all things the right way. It is easy to see that there is an infinite number of ways to do things the painful wrong way and a very limited number of ways to do things the rewarding right way. Doing things the right way is all about making the right choices. In order for a person to make the right choices that person must be guided more by the natural laws then they are guided by any wrong action driven man-made laws.

The solutions to all of the problems people face on this earth have already been pre-determined and waiting to be discovered. If people want to solve the problem of how to live together in a Peaceful world they must first discover the truth about all of the wrong things they are doing that keeps them from living together in Peace. This includes learning and accepting the truth about how and why man’s discriminatory, segregating and conflict-causing religions are the primary wrong action element keeping the people from living in a Peaceful world.

If the truth and being truthful is not the primary law of any God, real or imaginary than they are not Gods in relation to what Gods are perceived to be. Realistically, there can be no God without truth because without truth there will be no right way.

If people refuse to accept the truth about their religions and religious ideologies they will never experience the benefits of knowing their creator or living in a Peaceful world. Logically, and according to the truth and our creators’ laws of nature people cannot hold on to or embrace any of the wrongful things that create conflict and chaos in this world and at the same time be connected to their creator.

People cannot create truth; people can only discover their creators’ pre-determined and unchangeable truth when searching for the right way to do things. It is also predetermined that it is virtually impossible for any person to lie to themselves because the purpose of the lie is to intentionally distort or avoid a truth that is already known.

Because of our human makeup, it is virtually impossible for a person to know the truth about something and at the same time believe a lie about that very same thing. Those people or institutions that do purposely deceive other people by lying to them are already aware of what the real truth is but need to tell a lie in order to disguise or hide that truth for the purpose of advancing a self-serving agenda that would not be accepted if the real truth were known.

Sometimes what appears to be a lie can also result from a mistake or just plain ignorance. However, in those cases the truth will quickly clear up that mistake or ignorance. Basically, there is no reason for a person to lie unless they are attempting to avoid or distort a known truth. The only way people can lie or deceive themselves is by believing that imaginary or mythological concepts are real and true.

No lie will ever make perfect sense to an aware human mind because there will always be an instinctive feeling of doubt and caution when lying to deceive others or when being lied to or being deceived by others. When people are being deceived by someone’s intentional lie they either can question their internal instinctive feeling of doubt and try to learn the truth or faithfully, without question, accept that lie as being the truth. Those people that do faithfully accept religious lies and deceptions as truth without question will become part of that lie and carry some responsibility for the conflict, chaos and harm those lies cause.

What is instinctive for all people is what is considered normal for all people. What is both instinctive and normal for all people is also what is common with all people because all human instincts are guided by the same laws of nature. It is common, instinctive and normal for all people to want to survive, be safe, live in Peace and be loved, healthy, happy and successful. What is not common, instinctive or normal for all people are the things that people need to be taught and learned.

Most of what people need to learn from others becomes normal thinking and behavior in their personal everyday lives but will not be the instinctive or commonly normal thinking and behavior of all people. Religious and social ideologies are not instinctive, therefore not normal or common with all people. Religious and social ideologies need to be taught and learned while being taught in a way that always aligns with the ideological agendas of each different religion or social structure.

It seems logical to assume that if there was a real God that God would have made it instinctive, normal and common for all people to be instinctively driven to belong to one single religion that was totally aligned with the truth and the natural laws of nature. Strangely, the people’s instinctive obedience to our creators’ laws of nature is normal and common with all people.

However, man’s taught fantasy-based religious ideologies and laws are not a naturally normal, common or instinctive part of the human makeup. Therefore, it is logical to conclude that man’s religions are simply man-created enterprises that sell fantasy-based Gods as if those Gods were absolute true and real Gods, which would obviously be a lie and wrong action under the laws of nature.

Nature’s laws can be called the natural laws of creation as all people, no matter what position a person holds, are equally accountable under those natural laws at all times without exception. Again, nature’s laws or the natural laws of creation came from the same creator that created human life. Nature’s laws are the dominant part of the people’s natural instinctive makeup providing all people with an internal guiding force that allows all people to know the difference between the truth and a lie and what is right and what is wrong. All human existence is governed by the truth because there is always a law of nature consequence to pay for not being truthful.

It is obvious that the natural laws of creation did not come from any of the man-created religions or man’s religious Gods as the man-made religious laws and ideologies themselves are not naturally or instinctively known by any person. Also, in most cases man’s religious laws do not recognize or align with the truth or require people to always obey the truth and our creators’ natural laws.

All people, with a few exceptions, are born with exactly the same instinctive knowledge of the natural laws along with other common and natural abilities. All of the people’s instincts and abilities are influenced by a natural inbred obedience to the natural laws of creation. It is obvious that all people do have the ability to disobey the natural laws of creation as long as those people are willing to pay the instant consequence for doing so.

Our creator given natural instincts do not instinctively require people to belong to any one of man’s religions or believe in religious lies or other things that do not obey or abide by what is instinctively known as the truth or the instinctively known natural laws of creation. Therefore, it is clear that man’s religions are separate entities all to themselves and are not associated in any way with our real creator, the natural laws of creation or aligned with the people’s natural instincts.

Logic, like the truth, is also pre-determined and is part of the natural human thinking process needed for discovering the truth and how to do things the right way. Again, if our creator had intended for people to be a natural part of man’s religions our creator would have made that requirement part of the instinctive human makeup.

If our creator had intended for all people to be a natural part of man’s religions; all of man’s religions would be locked into one single truth-based ideology with religious obedience to our creators’ natural laws making all religions exactly the same with exactly the same single ideology, laws and message. Since no person is instinctively obligated by the natural laws of creation to belong to any of man’s many different and conflicting religions it is obvious that man’s religions and their religious Gods are separate man-created entities not connected to or aligned with our real creator, the natural laws of creation or part of the people’s natural instincts.

All of man’s religious laws are designed to serve each of man’s many different religious ideologies where as the natural laws of creation were designed by our creator to serve the good of all people equally regardless of any person’s position or religious affiliation. Under no circumstance is it possible for any of man’s religious laws to supersede any of our creator’s natural laws. Example, if discrimination is instinctively understood by all people to be a wrong action under our creators’ natural laws then religious discrimination cannot be something that is somehow a right thing under the man-created religious laws.

It should be understandable that man only has control over the things he creates or imagines. The things man has no control over like creating life, the human instincts, the truth and the natural laws came from man’s creator. All people were designed by their creator to instinctively know right from wrong with a free will and the natural abilities to have total control of their own thoughts and behavior while also being personally responsible for all of their thoughts and behavior.

When people belong to religions they must forgo their free wills and creator provided instinctive abilities to think and reason in order to faithfully serve and follow, without question, the lie-driven ideologies and laws of their religion even when those religious ideologies and laws contradict what their own personal natural instincts tells them. Man’s religions cannot possibly improve on what our creator provided for all people especially when religious ideologies require people to discriminate and become segregated while participating with conflict causing beliefs and behavior that violate our creators’ instinctively known natural laws.

Man does have full control of his religions, religious Gods and God mythologies man created that attempt to tell people about what man’s religious God says and wants because man created those things. Man’s religious Gods did not create the universe, the earth, all life on earth, the human instincts, the truth, what is right and wrong and the natural laws of creation because man nor man’s religions have any control over those things. If by chance any one of man’s religious Gods did actually have control over all of these things why are there so many different and conflicting religions, religious ideologies, religious laws and religious beliefs that do not even recognize or align with the truth or our creators’ natural laws?

It is an absolute wrong belief for any person to think or believe that man’s religions, man’s religious Gods or man’s religious laws can replace our creator, the natural laws of creation or any of the other natural things our creator provided for all of mankind. It is not remotely possible for religious people to become immune from their instinctive obedience to their creators’ natural laws of creation simply because those religious people have personally chosen to place man’s religious laws above their creators’ natural laws.

Religious people, no matter how deeply their minds have been conditioned by man’s religions, are always accountable for their obedience under the natural laws of creation. There are no religious exceptions to the natural laws of creation and no religious forgiveness for violating the natural laws.

Obviously, the pre-determined natural law consequence or punishment for man’s wrong actions of attempting to replace our creator and the natural laws of creation with man’s religious Gods and religious laws has forced the human race to become infested with doubt, confusion, discrimination, hatred, conflict, chaos, constant human suffering while forcing people to live within a godless like state of existence on this earth.

If people are to assume that life is a miracle than people must also assume those pre-determined, unwritten, instinctively known, always being enforced natural laws of creation that influence the thoughts and behavior of all human life is also part of that same life miracle. Therefore, people must assume that their creator or whoever or whatever created all human life also provided a pre-designed instinctively known plan within those natural laws of creation for how people where intended to exist together truthfully and the right way in a Peaceful and civilized manner under that one primary set of unchangeable natural laws.

Questions must be asked.

Why is it that all people instinctively know right from wrong and will eventually discover the right way to do all things?

Who or what was it that designed all people to instinctively know the right way and the wrong way?

Why is it that doing things the right way is always known to be something that is good, safe and successful?

Why is it that doing things the wrong way is always known to be something bad, dangerous or a failure?

Why do people instinctively know they need to run and hide when they commit a crime or other wrong action?

Who was it that predetermined that the truth is always the right way and the lie is always the wrong way? It certainly was not man because man has no control over what is always right or always wrong.

Why is it that man can never change something that is wrong into something that is right, such as attempting to make man’s religious laws more dominating than our creators’ natural laws?

Why are the laws of nature the only laws that affect all people equally without exception?

Is it possible for man to make any laws that are instinctive and equal for all people?

Why is it that all stories told are always based on good overcoming evil or right overcoming wrong? Why were all humans designed to follow this exact same pre-determined script of good overcoming evil and why do people naturally refuse to accept evil winning out over good?

Will one of the greatest stories that has not yet been written be a story about how the good people using the truth overcame the evils of man’s religions and created a more Peaceful world for all people to live in?

Why do all religions, governments and other institutions always claim to be the so called good guys working to overcome the evils of others, yet are themselves the perpetrators of wrong and evil?

Why is it that no person, religion, government or institution will openly and proudly claim to be wrong or the evil ones?

Why does wrong or evil always need to be disguised and presented as something that is good?

Why does man always attempt to make his lies appear to be the truth? Is it because people instinctively will not accept or support things that are known lies?

Is it remotely possible for religions, governments and other institutions all with different and conflict-causing ideologies and agendas to all be the good guys at the same time? It is obvious that lies, deceptions or non-truths have multiple purposes designed to promote multiple self-serving ideologies and agendas. The truth only has one purpose and that is to identify and do away with all of the destructive and self-serving lies, deceptions and non-truths that harm people.

With the Truth Element always being the primary component for doing all things the right way under our creators’ natural laws, then obviously the opposite Lie Element or deception must be the primary component for doing things the wrong way. The power of the truth comes from the fact that the truth can only be used by the good meaning people or organizations that are doing things the right way for the right reasons. The lie or deception is always used by people or organizations that are seeking to gain things that cannot be acquired by being truthful.

When studying the causes of all personal, religious and governmental chaos and conflict in this world it is easy to see that all chaos and conflict in this world is the direct result of intentionally told lies and deceptions or intentional wrong actions. Under the natural laws all of man’s truth avoiding intentional lies or non-truthful deceptions are pre-determined to be wrong actions thus violations of our creators’ natural laws.

When learning about the primary causes of chaos and conflict in this world it is easy to see that man’s religions with their conflict-causing discriminations, segregations, hatreds, deceptions and lack of truthfulness are all wrong actions. These religious wrong actions make the religions the greatest contributors to the worldwide chaos and conflict that has and continues to cause internal conflict, confusion and harm along with worldwide human suffering.

Man’s confusing and conflicting religious ideologies and laws are the perfect example for why our creator made it so man has no control over the natural laws of creation. If man did have control over our creator’s natural laws, man would make up his own laws to suit his own self-serving agendas just like man’s religions have attempted to do.

If people fully understood the purpose and powers of our creators’ natural laws, would people be willing to intentionally violate those natural laws in order to support natural law violating things like man’s religions?

If man’s religions did fully understand the purpose and powers of the natural laws of creation, why would man’s religions not adhere too and follow those natural laws?

Is it possible for people to continue to believe in the wrongful, conflict-causing false God prophecies of man’s religions and at the same time live together in Peace?

No doubt it would be much better for the human race to live under that one set of pre-determined unchangeable natural laws that equally apply to all people without exception then it is for people to make up their own individual laws as they see fit. It is obvious our creator understood the simple concept of having one set of equal laws for all people; now only if the people and their religions could understand this simple but extremely important concept.

Our approach to explaining what we believe to be true about Peace in this world in relation to man’s religious Gods, man’s religious laws and man’s God mythologies are not based on any extensive studies of man’s purposely written meaningless ancient documents and scriptures that talk about myths and imaginary concepts. Our beliefs about truth, Peace, religions and mythological Gods is simply based on what we consider to be today’s logical common sense, rational thought, reasoning and observed human behavior while studying only the obvious physical evidence available to us through our understanding of how the natural laws of creation are designed to work.

Asking questions and seeking answers is a natural part of all people’s curiosity instinct. There are no, and will never be any, factual answers to all of the questions ask about man’s imaginary religious God myths or all of man’s different religious mythologies. Without those factual answers nothing claimed by man’s religions to be known as the absolute truth about any God mythologies of any kind can be considered true or real. Above all, asking for evidence or proof about anything that is claimed to be real is the natural process for discovering the truth.

When asking questions about what makes all people the same we discovered that there are many common things that all people naturally or instinctively believe, think about and do that are exactly the same as all other people and all of these things are guided by our creators’ natural laws. We then discovered the natural laws of creation and learned that those natural laws are an instinctive part of the human make up connecting all people with a natural common bond and a common pre-determined direction for all people to follow.

It is not like our creator needs to tap each person on the shoulder and remind them what to think or how to behave at all times. The human instincts our creator provided all people are kind of like having a pre-programmed computer chip that is programmed with the natural law guidelines all people need to know to survive, know right from wrong and how live together with others in a Peaceful manner.

It is clear the instincts of all people have been pre-programmed with exactly the same natural law guidance information that the human mind continually uses to guide the people’s thoughts and behavior. Obviously, the message and direction our creator wants all people to know and follow can easily be found when learning about the natural laws of creation and how those natural laws are the common instinctive guide that continually influence the thoughts and behavior of all people.

The next questions were, where did these natural laws come from, why are those natural laws the dominant and equal part of all human instinctive makeup and what purpose do those natural laws serve. The only obvious answer to these questions is the natural laws of creation obviously came from some unknown creator and were intended to be a natural guiding force that will eventually, when the truth becomes obvious, dominate and obeyed will lead all people to a truth-based, Peaceful, successful and
