Quote by Steve Maraboli
It is surprising to me that one of the great crimes of history has gone unnoticed; the abduction of god by religions. This slight-of-hand has been the cause of countless blood-shed and has been found at the root of innumerable acts of evil. The argument continues today, as to which religion the true god belongs, when what would be most healing and empowering is to free god from the shackles of religious limitation and judgment. It is by emancipating god from the ignorance of our ancestors that we become empowered to explore and express our own relationship with what god may or may not be.
Summary
This quote suggests that religions have mistakenly claimed ownership over the concept of God, leading to conflicts and harm throughout history. The author argues that rather than arguing over which religion possesses the true understanding of God, it would be more beneficial to liberate God from the confines of religious dogma and embrace a personal, individual exploration of spirituality. By breaking free from the limitations imposed by religious interpretations, individuals can develop a more authentic and meaningful relationship with their understanding of God.
