Post #57 "Reality /Non-reality and Religion"

In the Unfolding of Reality/non-reality.....what about religion?
Do we not turn to religion to find God and the keys to God's kingdom? Has religion not always been that which named, identified, and thereby possessed God and the 'way to God'? We seek Perfection. Is Perfection, therefore, found in and through religion? Is Godship found through religion? If not, why? Has religion not always been seen as the dispenser of God's punishment and God's benevolence? So then, does religion hold the key to God and through God to Reality? Is religion the keeper of the secrets? Is religion the dispenser of the secret ingredients? Does religion hold the map to the secret route to the kingdom of God? Is religion the way to possess God and thereby God's attributes? Is religion The Way to Perfection? Is religion The Way to becoming God?

Has religion failed? Are there possibly other ways to attaining Perfection that do not pass through religion or even pertain to religion? Is religion all about attaining Perfection? Yet, as we have noted, it seems that the pursuit of Perfection brings about death. Death is certainly the result of the failure to attain Perfection. How does religion own and address this failure to achieving Perfection? How does religion reconcile Perfection and Death? Does religion see Perfection as only achievable in an after-life that becomes reachable only through mortal Death?
