Religious Life On Planet Earth Creative Writing Examples

My mission, assuming I am an alien (from another planet), is to find out whether Earth is a religious planet or not. Whatever observation and findings I may have, I will report the matter back to my superiors. My criteria to identify and verify earthling’s religiosity are, as follows: (1) Worship Activities; (2) Harmonious Living; and, (3) Charitable Deeds. For religious services, people worship a Spirit (Invisible) God who created from the beginning everything seen from the unseen. In terms of harmonious living, they value tolerance, peace, understanding, and human rights (e.g., respect). Concerning charitable works, they visit the fatherless (orphans), widows, people in prison, etc. The whole story of these earthlings started when, in God’s Time, He created everything good. Originally, God implanted in these earthlings, freewill – so that they can choose for themselves. He has promised them that, at an appointed time, those who will pass His tests will live with Him forever in eternity. Still, God has to test and prove their faithfulness to Him. Trials were given to them, but some of them failed him. Despite of this, God remains merciful to them.
As times progress, these earthlings increased greatly in number. Some became good people while other individuals continued with their evil deeds until they died. Some of the people whom God called were living formerly in earthly lust (e.g., promiscuity, gambling, and other vices). Because God wants them all to be saved, He does everything He can to make them realize His goodness. He wants them to use their freewill to make up their minds and do good (because He is Good). Thus, God sent them revelation through His faithful servants. However, time and again, some acceded to His calling, whereas others just ignored him. Hence, many of them perished. Despite of these turn of events, God continuously showers those who were born and grow – both good and bad –His blessings (e.g., sunlight, rain, etc.). He simply would like them to realize that He loves them, whether they are good or evil. Because of the lessons of the past, God ordered His faithful servants to write down the unfolding of history (and how it repeats itself), His Promise, and His Message in the Book of the Living. In the Book of Living, people will know about God’s creation, His love for mankind, His promise for an everlasting life with Him, and most especially, His goodness for them who love Him. Even when people have turned their backs on him, He is waiting for them to return to Him. All they have to do is to acknowledge that God is God. He wants them to consume their ephemeral existence in worshipping Him and not created beings and idols made of woods, metals, etc. He wants them all, although still living in the physical world, to live with Him in Spirit and in Truth come that Perfect Day of the Lord.
Whenever people return to the truth, they become “whole” again although they are still on earth. However, the word “whole” does not mean that they no longer commit unintentional mistakes, suffer from pain, and so forth. What it means is that they think, decide and act according to their faith in the Invisible God. Hence, they no longer wrestle with flesh and blood, but in the Spirit. It is not in their heart and actions to do the former lusts of the world, but to be kind to all their fellow human beings as much as they possibly could. For them, God prepared for them glorious bodies and a better earth. They understand that this present physical earth and the heavens above will all come to waste. Thus, they know that God is incomparably the most important Spirit there is. As times pass by, many earthlings believe in the message of God. People use their freewill to worship Him wholeheartedly. Individuals from all walks of life hear His pure or untarnished word of salvation through His Last Messenger who lived among them. This Messenger gave them example to follow despite the harsh realities of their present life. If people will learn and follow His Messenger, God will let them live with Him in Eternal Bliss (where there are no more pains, death and evil).
While the earthlings are living here on this temporary world, they must regularly worship God. They have to show that they are His people if they live harmonious with the rest of humanity. In former times, though they live under the yoke of transgressing the goodness in their hearts and God’s Goodwill, He wants them likewise to be merciful to those who have not yet turn back to Him. Through these godly people’s actions, He wants people outside of their religion to realize that indeed God is good. All their lives, God is calling them to live according to His Faithfulness. Because these people of God keep on increasing in number, their charitable deeds (e.g., taking care of the orphans, old-aged widows, etc.) increase daily and thus became well-known to people across the world. Although they started as a small group and most of them formerly lived in earthly lusts (e.g., illicit sex, smoking, crimes, etc.), they are now the envy of those who profess to belong to God but are brutal to others. Because these people of God live their lives doing good acts to their fellow human beings – whether they are members of their group or not – it only proves that God is with them. They learned to be tolerant of other people until such time that they realize, too, that there is but only One God and that they are all His children (i.e., gods). Therefore, when I return to the planet where I came from, I will report to my superiors how I met this particular religious group (i.e., gods on earth) who worship only but One True God. I will add that they have free membership whatsoever a person’s status in life (that is, whether he is poor, rich or from another planet). I will also include in my report that they do not collect any fees or contributions from non-members. Moreover, they do not force or harm anyone who joins or does not join them. After hearing their pure teaching from God, people are then responsible for their own decisions and later actions in life. They will just keep reminding anyone not to waste their worthless life in earthly lusts. People should believe that there is always God who is full of love, mercy, and unfathomable wisdom. Further, He cannot deny, change and/or lie. He remains faithful, though a few of his former creatures were unfaithful.
