THE RELIGION OF THE LIVING PUPPETS

1. There is at least one higher power called God.
   A human being is not able to see if there are
   more than one higher powers or gods. But the
   dogma here is that the highest power(s) or God(s)
   is absolutely loving and absolutely merciful
   towards the life of this planet. After this
   I will talk about only one God even if there might be
   many of them.

2. The God is all-knowing and everything that
   happens in this universe goes completely
   according to God's plan. For example, the
   animals and the human beings living on earth
   do not have any sort of free will. Our
   brains falsely have given us the illusion that
   we would have some sort of free will, but we don't.
   There is no need to pray anything. But if You
   want to pray, say for example: "Let the God's
   will happen!" You may also want to pray for
   forgiveness, if you feel, you may do so.
   The God is merciful.

3. Why there are suffering and "evil" in this world?
   This is because we have been created directly
   to "heaven". A human life is called a trip from
   heaven to this world. And after we die, our souls will
   be returned to "heaven" where there is no suffering.
   It is the purpose to live this life as good as possible,
   not escape it. One of our mission is to experience what it is
   to suffer.

4. The "salvation" is not depended whether a person
   believes in God or not in any way. Everyone is saved.

5. Holy texts of this religion are all holy and sacred texts
   of this world. However, the myths of the holy texts
   must pass the critique of religions by atheists, agnostics
   and skeptics. There is no meaning if the texts are
   historically true or not. The texts and myths must live
   this moment and the future, not the past.

6. How to find the God or the higher power? One commonly
   used method is to live the myths true in your everyday
   life. Many have experienced the existence of God by
   this way. However, others may experience the existence
   of God by some other methods. But if don't find the
   existence of higher power, do not worry. According
   to this religion you will be saved anyway.

7. I, the founder of this religion, strongly believe
   in God, to God's love ja mercifulness. But I am not
   sure if this religion is completely true. But
   I have been told that God is absolutely loving,
   absolutely merciful and all-knowing. I did not
   find any other paths to fullfill these demands.
