September 17, 2185: The last five years had been a tumultuous time on
the Earth and on Mars. Both groups had new cultures to assimilate and new
technologies to master. The races were so computable that a male from either
race could father a child with a woman from the other race. On Earth there had
been no effort to segregate people by race. Inter marriage was commonplace.
December 25, 2185: As for religion, the human survivors had been
limited at the time of the holocaust to Christians, Jews, agnostics and atheists.
On Dedov religion had not played as important role as it had played on Earth.
Perhaps that is why the people of the planet Dedov did not share the violent
past that Earth had. The people of Dedov were taught one religious concept as
children which they retained throughout their lives. A Dedovian in conversation
with an Earth native gave the following description of the Dedovian religion:
“God was the product of evolution that had occurred on a planet long ago
and far away. The people of that planet had mastered the art of out of body
experience. When their planet had run it's cycle, lost it's orbit and was plunged
into its sun most of the population had left their physical bodies and stood
helplessly by as they lost their planet. Not knowing what else to do and having
no place to go these out of body beings merged into one being. And went in
search of a new home planet. Once a planet had been found the being took
stock of itself . The entity retained the spirits that had reached a state of
perfection and cast out the others. That central perfect spirit that remained is
what we think of as God.”
“The other spirits, the imperfect ones were to go to the new planet they
had found and seek perfection. Once that perfection had been achieved they
were told that they would be welcomed back to join that central spirit as perfect
beings.”
“The imperfect ones not knowing how to go about this task of becoming
perfect became bored and began to enter the physical bodies of the birds and
animals that lived on that planet for a few minutes or hours or days in order to
experience life in the physical flesh again for themselves. As time went by more
and more of these errant ones became trapped in the physical body of some
animal or bird. The central God seeing this said “This will not do, if these errant
ones want to enter a physical being then I shall create a being that I approve of
as the host animal. He chose a being that seemed to be at the top of the
evolutionary ladder and seemed to have more intelligence than the other
animals on the planet. God then told the errant spirits that this would be the
only animal they would be allowed to enter. They could only enter the body of
that animal as it drew it's first breath after leaving it's mothers womb. God also
decreed that once a spirit had entered such a body that it must remain with that
body until such time as that body was no longer capable of sustaining life.
Once that body had succumb the spirit would be free to rejoin the other errant
spirits. They could repeat this process as often as necessary until they
succeeded in living a perfect life in the flesh. None of the errant spirits ever
succeeded in doing this so they complained to God that it was impossible to
lead a perfect life in the flesh, the test was unfair.”
“God then sent one of the perfect spirits from his central Godhead to the
planet to enter a newborn body and live an explanatory perfect life to show the
errant ones that it could be done. The life of this perfect one has been written
about in history although he walked on Dedov more than a thousand Earth
years ago. His life has been recorded for us to emulate. He has been known
as the Son of God. Some of us still try and be like him and lead a perfect life
but others have given up trying and just enjoy the physical life that they have
been given for the time that they have it. Some have had doubts that there ever
was one who lived a perfect life. Yet others have come to believe that if they
put their faith in him and beg him for mercy they will be accepted into the
Godhead when they leave their physical body.”
“None of us have any way of knowing whether this is true or not, we are
taught that we must just accept it on faith. Once we make the decision to enter
the physical body of a newborn child we are not able to recall our lives before
that moment. When we depart that physical body it becomes impossible for us
to communicate with those who remain in a physical body. Thus it is a matter
for conjecture whether anyone has ever lived a perfect life on Dedov. It is also
conjecture as to whether those who have put their belief in he who did live a
perfect life has entitled any of us to return to the Godhead. There are endless
conversations and disagreements on this subject. We, the people of Dedov are
those errant spirits. There is now much controversy over whether or not us
moving to other planets and interbreeding with non believers from other races
will have any effect on our eternal lives.”
Our definition of a perfect life is to be able to actually love the most
despicable person you have ever met more than you love yourself. That does
not mean to give lip service to the concept it means that you must actually feel
that way deep down inside yourself. To my knowledge no one has ever
succeeded in doing that but it is what we are all taught to continue to strive for.
“At any rate that is the substance or our religious beliefs in capsule form.
I know that you Christians and Jews have a holey books that you read from and
you attend meetings in churches, sometimes weekly and sometimes even more
often than that. I am quite sure that your religion is far different from ours,
though I have never read one of your holy books.”
“Our religious beliefs may not be as different as you might think Aglgd,
Merry Christmas.”
