THE RELIGION OF THE LIVING PUPPETS
Jarmo Manninen
1. There is at least one higher power called God.
A human being is not able to see if there are
more than one higher powers or gods. But the
dogma here is that the highest power(s) or God(s)
is absolutely loving and absolutely merciful
towards the life of this planet. After this
I will talk about only one God even if there might be
many of them.
2. The God is all-knowing and everything that
happens in this universe goes completely
according to God's plan. For example, the
animals and the human beings living on earth
do not have any sort of free will. Our
brains falsely have given us the illusion that
we would have some sort of free will, but we don't.
There is no need to pray anything. But if You
want to pray, say for example: "Let the God's
will happen!" You may also want to pray for
forgiveness, if you feel, you may do so.
The God is merciful.
3. Why there are suffering and "evil" in this world?
This is because we have been created directly
to "heaven". A human life is called a trip from
heaven to this world. And after we die, our souls will
be returned to "heaven" where there is no suffering.
It is the purpose to live this life as good as possible,
not escape it. One of our mission is to experience what it is
to suffer.
4. The "salvation" is not depended whether a person
believes in God or not in any way. Everyone is saved.
5. Holy texts of this religion are all holy and sacred texts
of this world. However, the myths of the holy texts
must pass the critique of religions by atheists, agnostics
and skeptics. There is no meaning if the texts are
historically true or not. The texts and myths must live
this moment and the future, not the past.
6. How to find the God or the higher power? One commonly
used method is to live the myths true in your everyday
life. Many have experienced the existence of God by
this way. However, others may experience the existence
of God by some other methods. But if don't find the
existence of higher power, do not worry. According
to this religion you will be saved anyway.
7. I, the founder of this religion, strongly believe
in God, to God's love ja mercifulness. But I am not
sure if this religion is completely true. But
I have been told that God is absolutely loving,
absolutely merciful and all-knowing. I did not
find any other paths to fullfill these demands.
