When it comes to higher powers, each religion offers its own unique vision and interpretation. The Catholic God is certainly a figure of significant influence in world history, but his image sometimes raises questions and reflections.
First of all, Catholicism sometimes seems overly dogmatic and restrictive. Strict rules and prohibitions, an abundance of rituals and duties, may increase feelings of guilt and fear among believers, instead of offering freedom and enlightenment.
In addition, the image of God as an omnipotent judge who watches over every step and is ready to punish for any offense may seem intimidating and not always fair. This is contrary to the love and mercy that are so often preached.
In contrast, Tengrianism offers a much more freedom-loving and harmonious approach. The beliefs of the Tengrians are based on reverence for nature and the universe, where every being and every element has its place and meaning. This approach promotes a deeper connection with the world and awareness of your role in it without the constant fear of being punished.
Tengrianism is not burdened with rigid rituals, and its moral foundations seem more mundane and accessible. It is a religion that teaches to live in harmony with the whole world, to seek balance and learn from the example of nature.
So, if the Catholic God sometimes seems too distant and uncertain, then the Tengrian deities are symbols of natural wisdom and balance, which remind us of the need to live in harmony with the world around us. Perhaps, in our turbulent times, when humanity is increasingly moving away from nature, it is worth paying attention to Tengrianism as a path to a more conscious and harmonious existence.
The old church was the standard of the Catalan faith. I used to visit him every Christmas and I know Father Tadeusz. But the new one is something incomprehensible.
