The Only Religion Is The Revelation Of The Creator

Dr. Michael LaitmanQuestion: Throughout history, lots of people have done terrible things in the name of God, and the question is: Was it their immorality that did it, or was it a correct interpretation of immoral scriptures that commanded it?

Invariably however, despite it being completely unrelated to the question, people will point to the terrible atheists throughout history, such as Stalin, Pol Pot, and Mao, and erroneously, Hitler.

Hitler certainly didn’t like Catholicism, and he certainly did toss priests and Catholics into camps. He tried several times to impose his type of Christianity on the country during his regime, he thought of himself as doing God’s work (according to Mein Kampf and several speeches), his soldiers had to take an oath to God of allegiance and many featured the phrase “Gott Mit Uns” (God with us) prominently on their uniforms. His regime even banned books that “belittled” the faith or God, or that advocated Darwinism.

The question is: “Are there fundamental elements of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, that result in such events, even (or especially) when correctly applied?”

Answer: According to Kabbalah, the only religion in the world is the firsthand revelation of the Creator to all people in the world as the sole controlling force. We can disclose the force only in its material manifestation. This matter is us ourselves.

If we try to change ourselves from egoism to bestowal and love, then according to the law of equivalence of form, the upper force of nature is revealed, which is called “Boreh,” from the words “Bo” or “come” (reach) and “Reh” or “see” (discover). All the rest are human inventions, and thus, there are so many of them, and they are not based on a study of the world or nature.

  1. This is true, if we study religions and thought processes like Atheism, we can clearly see that none of them studies the reality of nature as Kabbalah does. I think a lot of people over the centuries have justified doing horrible things to other humans in the name of God. To make the bad act look like it is a good one. Which is impossible. It is as they say, “it is impossible for a cruel person to be religious” Doesn’t matter if he goes to church or doesn’t go to church, it isn’t bestowal if it isn’t authentic altruism. Justifying hatred in the name of God is a “fake” sense of altruism. It isn’t real. We see God and good around us not when we are hating and killing each other in the name of God, but when we are loving others in the true sense because we have changed our inner selves. Then we see the change in the world and we see God and goodness in everything. It cannot be seen through outside actions or hatred as Hitler had.
