Capitalism,- everyone holds onto security and fear; once people becomes old, they become deeply afraid of the young brats and teens

chrisitianity- what do they worship? the statue of the man who was crucified? or that man’s teachings and principles of living?

Buddhaism- don’t they worship asceticisim; sitting in the corner and believe all of their problems will go away. But I do love the Lotus Sutra, Sutra of hui Neng, and Won Buddhism.

taoism- last time I check, they wear weird clothing who believes they can excorist; but the natural taoist the founder is a question

hinduism- I like their concept of brahman other then that nothing more

muslim- I like their imagination but I don’t like their routines

Shinto- I love the founder’s book, nothing more

ILP - I don’t know about this one.

Thats all folks. So what do you worship? Is it not fear and secuirty, pleasure, and desire? Spoken by the confused KRishnamurti. The end.

I worship God. The idea of worshipping my own emotions seems odd to me, and not the kind of thing I could do without realizing it.

Worship is a man made idea, a projection of what our selfish desires seek. We want to be worshiped, God does not. God wants fellowship of like willed individuals and that’s why he made us and why the purpose of our existence is Love.

Indeed, not once has God even remotely indicated that he wanted me to worship him.

I can’t agree. The proper response when confronted with God is worship, when one understands what worship, what a god is, and what humans are. If God wanted fellowship with like-minds, He presumably would have made us much different than we are.
I agree with the idea of fellowship loosely enough defined to just mean a relationship, but worship defines the relationship.

Maybe your definition of worship is different then mine. I see not productivity or fruit in constant static praise from such a lower class individual. Nor do I recall any words of Jesus himself that claims we are meant to worship God. Could be wrong though.

The ‘Greatest’ ( I have been seeking in ILP) worship is to worship others.

Everyone is considered a god, and is to be worshiped, respected, honor, and loved. Helping them to gain wisdom, freedom, and total maturity. Evolution. So it is not donating money to the church, means you worship god, but donating money to those who is in need, is the worship of God.

And attaining angel wings. I hope everything I have posted is not confusing you.
