The Road to Paradise
Chapter 45
A derailed perception of God
The situation becomes even more unloving when it is preached that living beings, and thereby also human beings, are "created" by God. But when people are created by God, they cannot be different from how He created them. If people are not perfect but are "sinners", the mistake must have been made by the Godhead who created them. The responsibility rests not with the creation but with the Creator, if what He creates is not perfect. How can there be any justice in God punishing the beings for not being perfect, when this is thus entirely His own doing? Ecclesiastical Christianity goes on to preach that only a very small group of people enter paradise, while the remaining majority of people end up in hell. When the majority of these people "created" by the Godhead end up in hell, it must be in accordance with the Godhead's wish to see people tortured in the eternal torment and anguish of this hell. Why should He otherwise "create" the majority for eternal torment and suffering, and only a small group for paradise? But being able to feel pleasure in seeing other beings being tortured by suffering and anguish is, as will be remembered, a mental derailment we know under the concept of "sadism". When the Godhead is said to be all-wise, almighty and all-loving, He must know in advance which beings will go to hell. If He does not know this, He is not all-wise. But if He knows this and does not want to prevent the beings from ending up in such an unfortunate state, which eternal hell must be, He is not all-loving. And if He is not able to save the beings from this hell, He is not almighty.
      Is it not obvious here that we are dealing with a derailed perception of the Godhead? It is not so surprising that such a perception of the Godhead, such an unreal world picture, cannot deliver people from war, sufferings and the fear of death.
