Religious belief

By God is here ment the "force" which set everything in motion.
By Creation is here ment all perceivable and not (yet) perceivable dimensions of being.

Any religion or philosophy recognizing God separate from Creation will be the root indirect cause of conflicts. This is because these religions do not recognize that any act through Creation also is an act through God. If it is believed that the act is separate from God, it is believed that the act per se is only an act of the free will of Man, for which he may be held accountable only to those upon which the act fell. Any act through Creation is an act through God, or else you end up with a disconnectedness paradox (which can be rationalized, though not in a few sentences). Any act through Creation affects or catalyzes processes that may not be tangible in the time frame of the act, but whose web will unravel chain reactions, that unless the interconnectedness is understood will seem irrational or erradic. Since an act through Creation is an act through God, the question "where is God?" fails to have any meaning, as does the idea that God will somehow be mercyful and "rescue" His believers. It is up to Man's free will whether he chooses to recognize God through Creation and consequently act in accordance to this recognition. Any other recognition seeds the potential for conflict because the response will be either reflexive or at best reflective within the boundaries set by the belief, which in it's disconnectedness will be irrational. To recognize God through Creation is to embrace its interconnectedness, through which all is One. No man is an island to himself as God suffuses it all (or else you end up in a paradox through which nothing can be perceived, as there would be no motion).
