There are four winds, four elements, and there are four creatures, a mammal, a reptile, an amphibian, and a bird. Even though we sometimes look down upon cultures and religious beliefs that we might consider primal and ignorant, they sometimes contain truer elements than our own cultured and refined houses of worship. If God exists and created everything as we know it, then we must except everything as His creation. If we deny anyone their own perception of the Divine, then it is only right that they would in turn do the same to us. Casting them into hell if they don’t accept our viewpoint is not a valid option. Who are we to judge what God has created? It is not for any man or woman to consign anyone or anything to eternal damnation, and if we do, then perhaps we can expect the same from them and from the one who controls the universe and all it contains. |
