(The) biggest fallacies about God are:
- God needs something.
- God can fail to get what God needs.
- God has separated you from God because you have not given God what God needs.
- God still needs what God needs so badly that God now requires you, from your separated position, to provide it.
- God will destroy you if you do not meet God's requirements.
These fallacies about God are destructive enough, but they completely overwhelm humanity when combined with the fallacies about Life to which they have given birth. Many human beings--most, actually--believe that:
- Human beings are separate from each other.
- There is not enough of what human beings need to be happy.
- To get the stuff of which there is not enough, human beings must compete with each other.
- Some human beings are better than other human beings.
- It is appropriate for human beings to resolve severe differences created by all the other fallacies by killing each other.
Humanity's major fallacies about God and about Life make for a deadly litany of error that has created, and continues to create to this very moment, a world of deep anger, brutal violence, terrible loss, unrelenting sorrow, and unremitting terror.
You think you are being terrorized by other people, but in truth you are being terrorized by your own beliefs.
~from Tomorrow's God by Neale Donald Walsch
