I Am A Neonaturalist (Part 6)

It is an assumed fact that God is the Creator. So He rules His creatures. Neonaturalism believes in it, sans religion, sans money, sans pious fraud.

As I have said, I am a neonaturalist; and neo-naturalism has nothing to do with any organized religion. Being a neonaturalist, I have no desire to enrich myself at the people’s expense. When I spoke of God, I did not intend to touch on religion; and I know that real God is not the property of organized religion except a human god. Mythical or human god and religion are man’s creatures who owe their existence to true God, the Creator. Man, the creator of a human god, catapults his creature into its throne in the santuary of a church held sacred by the fanatics who, in their mental darkness, believes in God, the Creator, and in god, the creature; but their chief religious belief in human god and have only very faint belief in true God.

As a consequence, the fanatics as followers have become milking cows. Where does the gullibility of these people start? It sprouts from their peccant concept of nature as a force itself which theism and deism, together with natural science, call such force as “natural law” to which neonaturalism has cautioned the theists to be consistent and logical.

Theism believes in one God as the “creator of all things.” In the phrase “all things,” nature, which is a thing, is included. It means, therefore, that all the “natural laws” pour forth from God, the Creator or First Cause. He is self-existing and ruler of the universe. Hence, He has placed everything under His design, pattern and whatever force under His rule needed to put into effect His governance. So God need not be reduced to a mere “mediator,” the belief of the ancient Hebrews and the Egyptians, because God who is almost all-knowing and all-powerful can make two opposing parties understand with each other without the need of personal presence to mediate.

The so-called miracle is not the product of God’s mediation, but it is an act of God. It is the outcome of what God wants. A claim of mediation is an implied rejection of God’s omniscience and omnipotence; and any being without these attributes are but God’s creatures, according to the views held by neonaturalism.
