We Have It Backwards

 Liberals, atheists, intellectuals and secular humanists often sneer at Christians and other believers, looking down upon them as pathetic, big children that believe in Santa Claus-like deities that do not even exist.

They dismiss theology as mere, crude attempts to attribute to nonexistent deities, personality and other anthropomorphic features that merely reflect back upon the childish inventors of such deities.

What if--I assert that it is so--it is the other way around? What if divine entities, our creators, gave us thousands of years slowly to evolve a culture and ethos that would make us strong enough to stand the truth about God while knowing properly how to behave towards, to worship and to love God?

We started off with nature worship, and some two thousand years ago the Buddhists and Eastern religions provided the world with religions without much personality attributed to the deity worshipped.

Now, I believe the Mother and the Father are full-fledged gender-specific deities with pronounced, tangible personalities, visages and ways about t hem.

I believe they are now orienting us, through Mavellonialism, to accept that they are the flesh-and-blood and spiritually real Mom and Pop of the universe, residing in heaven as the ultimate in individuating individualists.

They now view us as ready to adopt, what the skeptics refer to as deified, anthropomorphic traits, which are actually divine traits, now to be emulated by devout human believers.
