      The Foundations of Religious Faith

      Paper 102:0.1 (1118.1) Introduces us to the understanding of Foundations of Religious Faith among belivers.

      It says, "To the unbelieving materialist, man is simply an evolutionary accident. His hopes of survival are strung on a figment of mortal imagination; his fears, loves, longings, and beliefs are but the reaction of the incidental juxtaposition of certain lifeless atoms of matter. No display of energy nor expression of trust can carry him beyond the grave. The devotional labors and inspirational genius of the best of men are doomed to be extinguished by death, the long and lonely night of eternal oblivion and soul extinction. Nameless despair is man’s only reward for living and toiling under the temporal sun of mortal existence. Each day of life slowly and surely tightens the grasp of a pitiless doom which a hostile and relentless universe of matter has decreed shall be the crowning insult to everything in human desire which is beautiful, noble, lofty, and good." - Urantia Book

        Stated from another viewpoint "Though human beings differ in many ways, the one from another, before God and in the spiritual world all mortals stand on an equal footing. There are only two groups of mortals in the eyes of God: those who desire to do his will and those who do not. As the universe looks upon an inhabited world, it likewise discerns two great classes: those who know God and those who do not. Those who cannot know God are reckoned among the animals of any given realm. Mankind can appropriately be divided into many classes in accordance with differing qualifications, as they may be viewed physically, mentally, socially, vocationally, or morally, but as these different classes of mortals appear before the judgment bar of God, they stand on an equal footing; God is truly no respecter of persons. Although you cannot escape the recognition of differential human abilities and endowments in matters intellectual, social, and moral, you should make no such distinctions in the spiritual brotherhood of men when assembled for worship in the presence of God."

        The moment when, after many years
        of hard work and a long voyage
        you stand in the centre of your room,
        house, half-acre, square mile, island, country,
        knowing at last how you got there,
        and say, I own this,

        is the same moment when the trees unloose
        their soft arms from around you,
        the birds take back their language,
        the cliffs fissure and collapse,
        the air moves back from you like a wave
        and you can't breathe.

        No, they whisper. You own nothing.
        You were a visitor, time after time
        climbing the hill, planting the flag, proclaiming.
        We never belonged to you.
        You never found us.
        It was always the other way round.

          LOVE BEGINS TO SHINE

          I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn’t touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.-Mother Teresa

              A CHILD'S SMILE IS EVERYTHING - Poem by HORVATH CHILDRENS FOUNDATION UGANDA

              Only in a world of freedom,
              Can a child unfold and bloom.

              Only with the Sun piercing right through the dark hut,
              Can a child see the wonderful sights of this world.

              Only in an ocean of unprejudiced love,
              Can a child speak to its heart's content.

              Only through the eyes of soft empathy,
              Can a child see its true reflection.

              Only in surroundings of unadulterated society,
              Can a child open its mind wholesomely and dream.

              Only when applauded at its tiniest achievement,
              Can a child come to know its hidden potential.

              Only in lanes without propagation of caste,
              Can a child recognize its own identity.

              Only in the cradle of happiness,
              Can a child fantasize and create.

              Only in vicinity of the learned,
              Can a child imbibe the essentials of life.

              Only in the pages of medieval history,
              Can a child understand its ancestors better.

              Only in unpolluted waters of the Ganges,
              Can a child splash its hands and wholeheartedly swim.

              Only without discrimination of gender and status,
              Can a child flourish to achieve its goal.

              Only in the gentle hands of its mother,
              Can a child shield its eyes and sob.

              And Only in an atmosphere of complete equality,
              Can a child stimulate his urge for learning, prosper and smile

                What makes lives a better place to live in is when we see a child smiling for a reason, but because of the current situation in most of our nations, things have changed our smiles into tears that need to wiped out by good and God-caring people without tribalism or gender
