Luther placed the Bible, a poor secondary source for God, into the hands of the people. Here we want the people to see that everything they see and experience is God, the primary source.

natural theology.net ground to a halt over technical problems bt now I feel that these have been overcome in a sufficiently plausible manner to be worth publishing and so the time is right to revise and extend the site, which, like many things I wriote, looks better a few years later than at the time I wrote it.
After centuries of thought, use lower case god and Universe, and God when referring to some specific God other than the Universe.

Most religions are founded on the basis of visions or insights by various persons often called prophets. In natural religion we are all prophets experience of god all the time and expressing our experience through all the channels available to us.
The reality of god embraces both heaven and hell. The natural god can be a bad god as we know when we experience errors of various kinds ranging
[page 2]
from fatal accidents to wars and back to minor injuries and disappointments, The bliss and pain of love are orthogonal elements of the divinity.
Agatha Passenger to Frankfurt page 126: 'What's gone wrong with the world?' Wrong, maybe, from the point of view of the ruling class but right maybe for those escaping from under the ruling class thumb. Christie
Agatha the conspiracy theorist; although the fight for liberation is a natural part of the global creative tendency.
Thomas explained everything by potency and act. Here we do it all with a layered computer communication network.
Hard god: we cannot turn back time.
The Universe is the elephant in the religious room.
Lenin: 'Away with softness' (?)
The golden future: absolutism or democracy.
Peace requires construction, it does not just happen.
A tree is a network connecting disparate points in the environment into a living unit, ie the tree is deriving its life through roots and leaves.
The tree of life.
The idea is to be the nucleus for a phase change in

religion space.
Natural theology is in effect my memoirs [with most of the personal stuff left out]
Speech or expression in general requires a person to transform a body of information from an idiosyncratic internal representation to a socially accepted external representation.
The idea is to start a chain reaction whose endpoint is natural religion and whose drive comes from the energy released by the transition from low entropy to high entropy systems.
I appear to have reached a point of relaxed contentment with the whole story worked out in my mind, the only thing left to do being to write it out, and once the writing is complete, to publicize it and watch the phase change spread. No prophetic fire, no life changing visions, just sure knowledge, faith in the Universe that bore me, my dual, my god. I am a stationary point,
A key to natural religion is to accept the conditional reality of death, until such time as we have sufficient memory to store a representation of my internal reality in a permanent way. So the portrait of the abstract person.
This whole project may be seen as simply the wishful thoughts of a pacifist seeking power, or, on the other hand, they may contain valuable grains of truth which could revolutionize the theology and religion
industries.

Curing the religious cancer: a cure for religious cancer. The current religions are riddled with cancer because they are internally and between one another inconsistent.
