God, Religious Conflict, Terrorism and ReligionGod speaks to us. It is the inner voice of love that talks to us and tries to guide us, if we are only willing to listen. This inner voice of God is called by some people the conscience, some call it the higher self, some call it the Holy Spirit, Jesus called it the Spirit of truth. God's Voice is always with us, but so often because of our ego, self-righteousness, or false pride, we are not willing to listen. God sees our free-will errors, and grieves over both our false pride and self-righteous. So God cries out for us to listen and correct our errors, but it is our choice. God does not make demands of us,
for love makes no demands, it is only acceptance as we are, and
forgiveness of our errors. God gave us a
free-will, to do good or evil, but as a loving father God tries to
guide us. God's crying out is the expression of
the infinite Love of a father for His confused and fearful children. As
the fear of religious conflict and terrorism grows and engulfs the world, it is only
our loving Father who can guide and comfort us. Religious Conflict and Terrorism - We Must Listen To God Now

martyrdom of the early Christians and the Inquisition. Religious conflict
does not honor God.with its
killing, destruction and terror. God has been
used by men seeking political power to justify many acts of evil,
terrorism, and war. Religious conflict has never been of God. It is God's
will that someday religious conflict will end, for it only
saddens a loving father while dishonoring Him. Any
religious belief system can be invoked or used for benevolent
or evil purposes. People in times of trouble pray to God (by whatever name
they know Him) for protection and help. But they also pray for justice and
revenge. God is both our master and servant, and His will is subject to our
interpretation. In the Islamic holy book the Qur'an (5: 48) it is stated: |
