"How he went into the house of God" - The End of Satan's World



Very Humble Tokyo Downtown Streets


The End of Satan's World


The end of the world is a concept that is familiar to Muslims, too.
Last Judgment in the Qur'an 
The Qur'an describes the Last Judgment, with a number of interpretations of its verses. There are specific aspects: 
The time is known only to Allah.[14]
Muhammad cannot bring it forward.[15]
Those who have been dead will believe that a short time has passed between birth and death.[16]
 
Nothing will remain except Allah.[17]
God will resurrect all, even if they have turned to stone or iron.[18]
Those that have accepted false deities will suffer in the afterlife.[19]
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_eschatology#cite_note-14
Even in the Bible, Christ Jesus said that only God, the Father in Heaven, knows when the end will come.

So, this concept of the end of the world is commonly familiar to Christians and Muslims.

But, why, in the first place, must the end of the world come?  Why?  Why cannot they be assured that the world will continue forever with people or believers happy and enjoying life?

Even followers of Christ Jesus, 2,000 years ago, asked Him when the end would come.  They were so confident that the end of the whole human society would come.  But why?

In my theory, it is Satan that is the most afraid of the end of the world.  He must want to know when it will come.  But, as for human beings, whether or not the end of the world should come, they must die someday definitely.  It is the secondary matter for men when the end of the world should come.

Therefore, I think, this is a great game between Satan and the Angels.  Satan was given a time in which he was allowed to exert his evil influences on mankind.  But, when it is expired, the era of Satan should be terminated.  But, Satan must not have been given a specific number of years for his survival.   So, Satan is always worried about if the end of his time is near.

God must have charged some Angels with this matter of the end of the world, since it is so ugly, mean, and indecent that God probably would not like to soil His hands.  The end of the world is so horrible, but it must be also ugly, mean, and indecent, since it is the time when Satan is finished.

So, you had better think that the end of the world is more relevant to Satan and devils than to you.

And, from the beginning, we, mankind, had nothing to do with the beginning of the world.  It must be, in my opinion, a matter between God and Satan.  

Nonetheless, Christ Jesus and Allah issued some advice and warnings to believers about the end of the world.  It is probably because mankind will be involved in the last battle between Satan and God's Angels.  We had better run and hide in the case, though there would be no place to run to and hide in if, say, the moon should fall on the ground on the last day.

"the Holy Ghost was upon him" - Value of Iraq



Around Imperial Palace Plaza, Tokyo (though several years ago)


Value of Iraq

Today the Judaists or the Jewish people in the US (where more Judaists live than in any other countries) speak English but not Hebrew.  So, if a visitor from another solar system comes to the earth, he would naturally think that Judaists are a kind of Anglo-Saxons.  It is a big mistake, since the origin of Jewish people is ancient-day Iraq.

Likewise, you cannot tell that the origin of Hebrews is not Sumerians since Hebrews spoke non-Sumerian language, namely Hebrew.

From the beginning, Abraham had lived around Ur, one of major cities in the ancient Sumerian Kingdom located in southern Iraq of today.  If Abraham had not been of the Sumerian origin, there was no need to specifically write in The Old Testament that he, his father, and his clan had once lived around Ur.  There must be an important reason for that description.  And the reason must be that Abraham was originally a Sumerian.

Then, the story and the history of Judaists or Jewish People go back for further 1,500 years, since it was around the 35th century BC that Sumerians built their kingdom in Mesopotamia.


It also means that all the Sumerian documents should be regarded as holy books preceding The Old Testament.  All the Sumerian myths should be regarded as holy myths for Judaists and Christians as well as Muslims.

And if you accept this theory, you would pay more attentions to and respect for Iraq of today.  Even in this context, the present issue of ISIL is important.  Conversely, ISIL is destroying this historical holiness in Mesopotamia.

But there still remains an enigma: Where did Sumerians come from?  Probably they came to the Persian Gulf 5,500 years ago from around the Indian Ocean.  In my theory, a big earthquake and a tsunami destroyed their original domain 5,500 years ago, so that they moved westward to the estuaries of the River Euphrates to build the Mesopotamia Civilization.

Put extremely, it is possible that ancestors of Sumerians had lived around the Sumatra Island, though its beyond every commonsense of today.
This was Mesopotamia (Greek for "between two rivers"). It was around 4000 BCE that a people called Sumerians moved into Mesopotamia, perhaps from around the Caspian Sea. By 3800 BCE the Sumerians had supplanted the Ubaidians and Semites in southern Mesopotamia. They built better canals for irrigating crops and for transporting crops by boat to village centers. They improved their roads, over which their donkeys trod, some of their donkeys pulling wheeled carts. And the Sumerians grew in number, the increase in population the key element in creating what we call civilization -- a word derived from an ancient word for city.

"because he knew all men" - The Buddha and Christ Jesus Equally



Mt. Fuji and Mt. Tsukuba observed from the Tokyo Suburbs


The Buddha and Christ Jesus Equally


The Buddha was travelling and preaching when he became 80 years old.

In a village he taught truth to a son of a blacksmith, Cunda.  Cunda was so glad as to prepare meals for the Buddha and his followers.  But mushrooms he cooked eventually killed the Buddha.

However, the Buddha knew, before eating the meal, the mushroom was too strong for his aged body.  But he would not reject the food, though he suggested to Cunda that he should not offer the mushrooms to his followers.

Accordingly, the Buddha came to suffer acutely when his band reached a certain river.  So the Buddha laid down and called the highest disciple, saying, "Do not blame Cunda.  I chose his meal as a means with which I leave this world to enter Nirvana (the world for those who conquered all the evil, desire, and karmic laws in the nature, the human world and the spiritual world).  Rather, Cunda should be blessed as he helped me complete my life in this world."

The Buddha continued, "I have taken two excellent meals in my life time: the milk porridge provided by Sujata 45 years ago with which I could reach enlightenment after extreme acetic training and this meal provided by Cunda as my life is approaching the end."
    
We may be allowed to infer that if the Buddha had achieved the great enlightenment without milk porridge Sujata, a decent and pious girl, gave to him, he would not have died from inappropriate foods or specifically some kind of mushrooms (which look like a familiar ingredient for porridge).


Then why did Christ Jesus have to die on a cross?  Had He become the Son of God on a cross long before the fatal incident triggered by the betrayal of Judas?  What relevance was there between His fate and a cross?

Only I can think of is that the worldly father of Christ Jesus was a carpenter.  And, this father on the earth probably made and assembled some crosses for Roman troops to earn money.  And with the money, baby Jesus must have been bred to be a young man who became and worked as a carpenter, too, for some time till He started His holy mission.

So, we may be allowed to believe that we have solved one of enigmas of the Bible with reference to the story of the Buddha.


But who made and assembled the cross on which Jesus provisionally died?  Another secret might lie in it.

"and she repented not" - Half Material and Half Spiritual, Once




Mt. Fuji, Japan



Half Material and Half Spiritual, Once

The human mind itself is an enigma for human beings.

It is not a natural consequence of physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms working in the brain.  It works in connection with the spiritual world, since the mind senses spiritual phenomena.  For example, a man may feel something familiar with him beyond time and space, which cannot be explained in a scientific manner.

Before the development of the modern science, people were living in environment they perceived as a kind of a mixture of the sear natural domain and the spiritual domain.  They sometimes felt a spirit, a phantom, or an angel in it

In The Old Testament, angels sometimes appeared to Abraham, Issac, and Jacob.  Spiritual figures must have been familiar around them in their daily lives.

But today, the science could explain every phenomenon of the nature.  People know that it is not angels or devils but the natural laws and force that move and change the nature.  Today, even some priests, monks, and other religious professionals take spiritual matters just as items of knowledge.  They don't feel any spiritual force working in the human world.   For them, Christ Jesus, the Buddha, etc. are all strange people who believed the spiritual world they cannot feel or believe.   But as knowledge they learn words of Christ Jesus, the Buddha, etc. to be priests or monks as professions for better living in this world.

But such unfaithful people might like to think if this universe is finite or infinite, since they are essentially material people who believe only the value of material things and matters.

So, one of followers of the Buddha asked his teacher as to whether this universe was finite or infinite.  The Buddha answered that he would not discuss whether this universe was finite or infinite because such knowledge never saved people.  

The Buddha said, "If somebody was shot by an arrow, you would not discuss material aspects, features, and value of the arrow, but you should give him medical treatment as soon as possible."

And the Buddha made it clear, "That is why I do not discuss if this universe is finite or infinite.  So you must remember that I do not teach if this universe is finite or infinite."

Indeed, Christ Jesus did not discuss if this universe was finite or infinite.  Rather, Christ Jesus behaved just one of those people who were living in the world without knowing the modern science, that is, in the world half material and half spiritual.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam were all born and established in the eras when people perceived the world as half material and half spiritual.  Accordingly, people today are losing close connectivity between their daily livings and contents of the holy books of these religions.

So, we need a new religion or a new holy book that even mentions whether this universe is finite or infinite to revive connectivity between minds of people of today, who have knowledge of the modern science, and contents of the holy religion.

The Buddha, living 2,500 years ago, could see no use in primitive scientific knowledge.  Christ Jesus, living 2,000 years ago, could see no use in primitive scientific knowledge.  The founder of Islam, living 1,500 years or so ago, could see no use in primitive scientific knowledge. 

But today, we see some or significant use in the advanced scientific knowledge, since mad scientists and evil politicians and business leaders could abuse the modern science to satisfy their sinful desire.  We have to deal with even future science to prevent future disasters caused by irresponsible science and evil spirits.  

But, as you know, this infinite universe is expanding to infinity at an accelerated pace.  Even evil spirits will be finally lost there forever.

Rev 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

"I have broken thy yoke" - The Buddha and a Cattleman



Haneda Airport on Tokyo Bay



The Buddha and a Cattleman


A man in charge of taking care of cattle for a owner of them was listening to the Buddha.

The Buddha said that one should not be trapped by desire generated in his mind or toward material riches and he should live avoiding every evil act to reach enlightenment like a tree flowing in a big river to finally reach the sea without being carried out to a shore or being rotten while floating.

The Buddha concluded that one should leave all the worldly matters behind to attain the Buddhahood.  Otherwise, the Buddha added, you would be bound by all the yokes of this world.

So, the cattleman asked to the Buddha to accept him as his disciple.  The Buddha agreed but said, "First, you have to take the cattle back to the owner of them."

But the cattleman said, "Allow me to leave them as they are, since they will go back by themselves to calves kept in the owner's farm."

However, the Buddha insisted: "Yet, you must bring them back to the owner by yourself."

So, the cattleman obeyed the word of the Buddha to lead the cattle to the owner's farm, and then he became a follower of the Buddha.

Later this man left the group of followers of the Buddha to pursue his way to enlightenment to be eventually counted as one of major Arhats, namely those who reached higher spiritual status just behind the Buddha.

I suppose that the owner of the cattle would not help demons attack and destroy the cattleman during his ascetic training to finally become an Arhat.

  
In addition, even today cattle are regarded as holy animals in India.

"go into the land of Israel" - The Richest Man in the World vs. an Angel



Tokyo Haneda International Airport



The Richest Man in the World vs. an Angel

There are no rich men in the world who live in the sky.

You may design and produce your own air plane that can stay in the air for 24 hours a day, seven days per week.  Your plane can be refueled in the air.  Foods and other supplies can be delivered to your plane by other small planes or helicopters.  Then you can live in the air 24 hours a day, seven days per week, if you are rich and able to pay necessary costs.

But how much does it cost?  In addition to such a super plane, you must have your own air port and dedicated personnel for services you need in the air.  The costs must be enormous.

But how wonderful it is to live in a flying residence!  Under your feet, you can check the White House, Paris, and even the Vatican while you are practicing putting.

But how much does it cost to live like an angel in the sky till your death?

Living in the International Space Station is not practical, since you will lose muscles and receive too much radiation from cosmic rays.  Probably 9,000 meters high should be suitable as Mt. Everest is 8,850 meters high.

Anyway you cannot be an angel if you are the richest man in the world today.

"but thy disciples fast not?" - What the Buddha Said and What Jesus Said




Tokyo Bay


What the Buddha Said and What Jesus Said


The Buddha said that there were four type of people.

The first type of people are born poor and lowly but do many sinful things and hate holy beggars to fall into the hell after their death.

The second type of people are born poor and lowly but do many righteous things and respect holy beggars to enter the paradise after their death.

The third type of people are born rich and decently but do many sinful things and hate holy beggars to fall into the hell after their death.

The fourth type of people are born rich and decently but do many righteous things and respect holy beggars to enter the paradise after their death.

However, Christ Jesus said that the rich cannot enter Heaven but poor people are accepted by Heaven.


If a man born poor did many sinful things, he would most probably become rich.  If a man born rich did many righteous things, he would most probably become poor.

Righteous things include an act of giving all (or some) of his money to the poor and accumulating wealth in Heaven.

So, I once indicated an equation for conservation of wealth:

One's total wealth =  One's wealth in this world + One's wealth accumulated in Heaven


And when you die, all your wealth in this world vanishes away and you have only wealth accumulated in Heave.  If you have no wealth in Heave, you cannot enter Heaven.

Mar 2:17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Mar 2:18 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
Mar 2:19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

"concerning this child" - Heaven Exists



Tokyo


Heaven Exists


What does Isalm teach about Heven or the paradise in the other world?
Jannah (Arabic: جنّة‎ Jannah), an eternal place for Muslims, is the Islamic conception of paradise. The Arabic word Jannah is a shortened version meaning simply "Garden". According to Islamic eschatology, after death, one will reside in the grave until the appointed resurrection on Yawm al-Qiyāmah. Muslims believe that the treatment of the individual in the life of the grave will be according to his or her deeds in the worldly life. Jannah is often compared to Christian concepts of Heaven. According to Muslim belief, everything one longs for in this world will be there in Paradise. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jannah

What does Judaism teach about Heven or the paradise in the other world?
Shamayim (שמים), the Hebrew word for "heaven", denotes a component of the cosmos, the other elements being the earth (erets) and the underworld (sheol). Shamayim is the dwelling place of God and other heavenly beings and, in post-Hebrew Bible literature (including the Christian New Testament), the abode of the righteous dead. 
The Biblical authors pictured the earth as a flat disk floating in water, with the heavens above and the underworld below.[2] The raqiya (firmament), a solid inverted bowl above the earth, coloured blue by the cosmic ocean, kept the waters above the earth from flooding the world.[3] From about 300 BCE the three-tiered cosmos was largely replaced by a newer Greek model which saw the earth as a sphere at the centre of a set of seven concentric heavens, one for each visible planet plus the sun and moon, with the realm of God in an eighth and highest heaven, but although several Jewish works from this period have multiple heavens, as do some New Testament works, none has exactly the formal Greek system. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven_in_Judaism

How did Christ Jesus refer to Heaven?
Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 
Mark 11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 
Mark 11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. 
Mark 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. 
Mark 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. 
Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 
Mark 16:19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

So, if you respect these religions, you would naturally believe existence of Heaven.

But we cannot enter Heaven as a living man.  Only our soul can.  Heaven is not a material world consisting of elemental particles, atoms, molecules, etc.  We have to leave our physical bodies in this world to be accepted in Heaven.

"Mary, and Joseph, and the babe" - God is Miracle



Tokyo


God is Miracle

It is apparent that God exists.

There is no doubt about existence of God who created this universe and more, including the spiritual world.

But why must God exist?  If God did not exist, of course, this universe doesn't exist and hence we, mankind, don't exist.

This is the last question for mankind.  Why must God exist, though without God there would be nothing?  In the case, there is no space and time.  Even no spirits exist.  No angels and devils should exist.  It is total naught.

We cannot even imagine the world without God, since the world doesn't exist and we don't exist.  No stars, no sun, and no moon are in the sky.  And there would be no sky at all.

In addition, though God exists, this world looks incomplete.  Among human beings created by God, there are many bad guys.  In the spiritual world, there are evil spirits.  What God has created actually includes such horrible negative factors.  But, if God does not exist, even no bad guys and no devils exist.  Then it looks like it is more perfect without God.

So, the answer is that the existence of God is beyond our understanding.  We cannot know why God must exist.  And further, we cannot understand why God has created this incomplete world.



By the way, this evening I saw three cars at one location of a narrow path in a city.  One was going to enter a garage of a house on the path; another is going out from a small parking lot to the path; and the other is slowly passing by me.

All these cars have two "0"s on their license plates that have four-digit numbers on them explicitly except that the fourth digit with 0 is not indicated (ex. 67-89 or 1-23).

These three cars have such numbers as 11-00, 50-50, and 6-00.

The probability of XX-00 is 9/10,000; the probability of Y0-Y0 is 9/10,000, and (0)Z-00 is 9/10,000.

And, all the cases happened one time at one location: 27/1,000,000,000,000 or 27 per trillion, or one in 37 billion.

If I see 1,000 cars per day, 37 billion cars need 37 million days, which means 100,000 years.  

Therefore, this evening an event that would occur once in 100 thousand years in Japan has really happened just before my eyes without being known by anybody, including drivers of those cars, since I was only at a position where I could read all these licence plates of the cars.

And if God did not exist, there would be no probability and no possibilities of anything.  Conversely, God exists with all the probabilities covering 100% perfect to 0% of total incompleteness.  I may be positioned at 0.000000001%.

"Jesus went up to Jerusalem" - Every 10 Years after 1945



Tokyo



Every 10 Years after 1945

Every 10 years after 1945, when WWII ended, Japan faced some grave incidents even in its relation to the world.

I think it is necessary just to make a note about the following incidents:

In 1945, the Empire of Japan surrrendred to the US and other allied forces after Hirsohima/Nagasaki atmic bomb attacks and the invasion of the Soviet Union to Manchuria.

In 1955, Sony luanched its first tarnsisitor radio.

Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd. caused an arsenic poisoning incident as its milk products contained arsenic, harminng 13,000 children, including 130 deaths.

In 1965, anti-Vietnam War movement was started with establishment of Beheiren by young liberalists.

Japan and South Korea normalized their relationship.

In 1975, Queeen Elizabeth II visited Japan.

The Emperor and Empress visited the US.

In 1985, Japan Airlines Flight 123, a Boeing 747SR, crashed on Osutaka Ridge, 150 km northwest of Tokyo with 15 crew members and 505 of the 509 passengers on board dead.  It was the world largest air accident as an accident involving only one airplane.

A criminal group intimidated food companies such as Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd. and Morinaga Milk Industry by poisoning their foods in convenience stores mainly around Osaka.

In 1995, the Hanshin-Kobe earthquake killed 6,000 residents in regions adjacent to Osaka, the largest city in western Japan.

The Aum Shinrikyo cult launched sarin gas attacks in Tokyo subway lines, killing a score of people and damaging 6,000 commuters.

In 2001, Al Qaeda attacked New York and Washington DC with hijacked commercial airpalnes, killing 3,000 people, including 24 Japanese.

In 2004, the off-Sumatra earthquake caused a big tsunami to kill 220,000 people.

In 2005, Pope John Paul II died.

Anti-Japanese demonstration happened in Beijing, China, with 10,000 people.

A train accident occurred in Amagasaki, near Osaka, killing 107 passengers.  It greatly shocked metropolitan residents in Japan.

In 2011, the off-Norheast Japan earthquake caused a big tsunami to kill 18,000 people.

In the wake of the tsunami, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant ran into a big accident with explosion at three reactor buildings and a large scale radioactive contamination.

The leader of Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, was killed by US commandoes.

In 2015,...



The future is still unknown.  But, Japan has really entered a challenging period with all other nations in the world, since it is 2000 years after the emergence of Christ Jesus.

Uncontrolled Plane and Weapons


There was one case that a large commercial jet was hit by a surface-to-air missile fired by a terrorist to lose all the hydraulic control systems of wings, etc. but eventually land on without a loss of people, though it was a cargo plane.

It was over the Baghdad airport around 2003.

A French female journalist who happened to be with the terrorist group at the time of firing the missile said after the incident, "There are many weapons that have been not yet accounted for in Iraq."

Then more than a decade later, it has become clear that ISIL got them.

"Arise, and take up thy bed" - Capitalism vs. Islam





Tokyo



Capitalism vs. Islam


The evil of capitalism is that bad guys make big fortunes while good guys have to suffer poverty.

And these bad guys naturally bribe politicians and acquire friendships from bureaucrats.  They can expect that lawmakers who are financially supported by them would always act as their deputies in the parliament or congress.  And, civil servants whose major concern is career progress would not stand against capitalists and politicians who have financial and administrative power.

However, to be super rich or become a capitalist, you don't need to be honest, generous, pious, friendly, and responsible.  You just need luck and ability to make money more than others.

If you are not honest, generous, pious, friendly, and responsible, you can more concentrate on money making.  So, cold-blooded guys have more chances to be rich and capitalists than good guys.

Accordingly, the society ruled by capitalism is essentially not blessed.  It is a cursed society.  Because leaders lack virtues God wants a man to possess, such society would fall in a fatal tragedy sooner or later.

While they act rationally, their rule continues.  If they concede that democracy and social justice are necessary to avoid revolution and uprising of poor people and accept fairness and justice to a necessary degree, they can continue their rule.  But, if their greed and arrogance go beyond a certain level, any debacle such as the former Great Depression or subprime loan crisis could happen.

Capitalism is a system where bad, biased, arrogant, and foolish guys take power with their rich to control poor people.  Leaders in capitalistic society are not great guys in terms of morality, humanity, justice, a spirit of duty and responsibility, and true understanding of meanings of various factors in the human world and the nature.

Of course, mankind cannot manipulate well socialism and communism.  A society based on such ideology can be worse than capitalism, since leaders therein would suppress freedom of people.

As we cannot destroy capitalism by physical force, we have to cope with the evil of capitalism following holy teachings, since it is God that has created this universe after all.

Not a system or an organization of religion but a linkage with God can stop the evil of capitalism. And for an individual to link to God, he or she needs a holy book or the word of God.  And Islam is the religion that requests adherence to its holy book, the Koran, from its followers.

That is also why Muslims would not abandon their religion while they know if they convert to Christianity they can be richer like Europeans and Americans.

Conversely, without Muslims in the world, capitalists would exert more evil in the world.

"the angel said unto them, Fear not" - Too Foolish Capitalism




Venus in the west sky near Mt. Fuji  and Jupiter in the east sky at dusk.  
Under the line connecting the two stars exists a notable shinto shrine that is also on the line connecting Mt. Fuji and Mt. Tsukuba.  Now a wonder on the ground has matched another wonder in the sky. A great thing should happen in Japan.  



Too Foolish Capitalism


Capitalism means producing goods and providing services only for the purpose of earning money.

As this mode of economic activities was accepted or looked accepted by the public, most of rich people justified their cold-blood business and private behaviors referring to capitalism as if capitalism allowed them to neglect humanity in their business and private lives.

However, in old days or before capitalism became prevalent, humane factors were essential in any business and private lives of people.  People who produced any goods took care of consumers and the environment.  Their goods should be good to them.  Or those makers should follow rules set by a religion or communities.  They were requested to understand value consumers respected.  They produced and sold goods not only for money but for harmony with consumers and care for their lives.  If consumers became happy, they would be happy too regardless of an amount of profits.

But capitalists believe that essentially they are allowed to concentrate on their own profits and benefits.  The only measure they respect is market.  If their goods are accepted well in market, they think that they and their goods are good.   If their goods are not accepted well in market, they think that they and their goods are bad.  It has nothing to do with morality and ethics.

To check unrestricted selfish behaviors of capitalists, the public needs democracy.  Democracy allows citizens to fight capitalists who are neglecting people's lives, safety, health, and interest.  But, ordinary citizens have to work in companies, factories, plants, or shops run by capitalists or their deputies.  Most of citizens share interest and some part of profits with capitalists and candidates of capitalists.  Though they have voting right in the democratic society, they don't want lawmakers and other politicians they choose to act totally against capitalism.

So, currently, it is as if government were complementing capitalists who put little or no weight on and pay little or no respect to human values, humanity, social traditions, communities, human relationships, and justice and love.

Capitalists think that it is a justifiable act to produce and sell weapons to anybody, including terrorists, if the purpose is to make money.  But, capitalists might object against a claim that weapons should be sold for the purpose of pursuing justice.  Any act for making money should be allowed, according to their philosophy.  But an act for pursuing justice, freedom, or love is not supported by them, though they would keep silent if their goods are sold in a process of such an act.

Put simply goods should be produced and services should be provided for the purpose of making consumers happy but not for making money.

(Of course, capitalists pretend that they are making products to contribute to happiness and welfare of consumers and the public.  But it is a big lie in advertisement.  They are wolves in sheep's clothing.)

Capitalism should be avoided, since it is too cheap and frivolous.  Fools who cannot appreciate human values but can only understand power of money are promoting capitalism.

Put more simply, capitalism should be avoided, since capitalists are dangerously too foolish.

The world that does not allow capitalists to emerge is a good world.  In this context, the Islamic world seems better than the world occupied by present-day Christians and Judaists.


(As capitalists concentrate on making money while citizens, consumers and workers pay respect for other human and humane matters sacrificing money making, return on capital would be naturally and inherently larger than a growth rate of economy: r > g.)

"the tree of life also in the midst of the garden" - God Designed the Universe



Around Tokyo; Mt. Tsukuba (877 meters) 50 Km  Far



God Designed the Universe

When mankind did not know modern physics, they wondered what the moon, the sun, the galaxy, stars, and the whole universe were.

They could freely imagine that there was Heaven in the sky and the hell beneath the ground.

But today we know that the human body and all the living things as well as any inanimate matter in this universe are mainly built with three elemental particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons, though light is unique as it has no mass.

We also know that this whole universe was created 13.8 billion years ago as a very tiny entity with extraordinarily explosive energy.  And the universe is now expanding, being accelerated toward eternity.

So, we have to judge whether this universe was designed by God or by chance.

There are no random elements in this universe with the diameter of 46.5 billion light years and in the minute world within an atomic nucleus with the diameter of 1/10^16 cm that could cause collapse of an atom and the whole universe.  They are all built in an ordinary manner, though any random elements at any level of this structure from an atom to the whole universe could destroy them at any moment.

This universe was apparently designed by a super genius who must be God.

So, we have to think why God created these atoms and this great universe.  It is for mankind.  Then, we have to think about why God created these atoms and this great universe for mankind.

I think it is true religion.   We have to establish this religion by thinking why God wanted mankind in the material universe but not only in the spiritual universe.

Gen 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Gen 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Gen 2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
Gen 2:11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
Gen 2:12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
Gen 2:13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
Gen 2:14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
