MY RATIONAL RELIGION:
I believe in nature, humanity, and my own mind.
In order to survive and thrive, I have to learn and obey the laws of nature.
To get along well with other good and fair people, I engage responsibly in good and fair social agreements.
I must persistently use my own mind to learn and improve in order to be healthy, happy and wholesome.
To put my rational religion into the best operative perspective for myself, I have chosen to believe that my God is a trinity--nature, humanity and my own mind.
Unlike most people who use the name, 'God,' I have a rational definition for the concept.
I define 'god' to mean ruler.
When I write the name 'God' with a capital 'G,' I am referring to each one of the elements in my trinity working together in harmony.
Thus, for me: (1) NATURE is god of this universe. (2) HUMANITY is god of this planet. (3) MY OWN MIND is god of my own body.
About Me
- PERMAN WILSON
- MY BELIEF IN GOD IS NATURALISTIC: Unlike most people who use the name, God, I have a rational definition for the concept: I define 'god' to mean 'ruler'. When I write the name 'God' with a capital "G," I am referring to each one of the elements in my trinity working together in harmony. Thus, for me: (1) Nature is god of the Universe. (2) Humanity is god of the planet Earth. (3) My own mind is god of my own body. I SERVE NATURE BEST BY KNOWING AND OBEYING THE LAWS OF NATURE AS MUCH AS I CAN DETERMINE WITH SCIENCE AND MY SCIENTIFIC THINKING. I SERVE HUMANITY BE BEING HUMANE. I SERVE MY OWN MIND BY CONTINUOUSLY LEARNING AS MUCH AS I REASONABLY CAN, AND THINKING OPTIMISTICALLY, HEALTHFULLY, AND WHOLESOMELY WHILE ENJOYING EVERY MOMENT.
