Lords Do Not Exist in Democracies or in an Eternal Universe

Religious scriptures speak about lords. In religious scriptures, a lord mean God, Jesus, or persons who have an Authority. But lords do not appear in an eternal world, which has an active God and Intelligent Design, and has no end.

Lords appear in scriptures if a religion focuses the human mind on logical thinking.  An example of logical thinking is the 'good/evil' dualism.(See Part IIa, Ch.1)  Although Aristotle is known as the Father of logic, Moses used the good/evil dualism earlier to describe wrongly the dual life of Adam and Eve.

Plato's mind went beyond Aristotle's logical thoughts.In his Sophist at 257b Plato says, When we speak of ‘that which is not,’ it seems that we do not mean something contrary to what exists but only something that is different. This statement of Plato is the teaching of reasoning.

If one follows the suggestion of Plato,' we can say that something different exists beyond all finite things. This first different thing is called not finite. In time, this different thing was named 'infinite.' But things other than finite things exist in the universe. Thus, by negating not finite, we capture  all other things in the universe and name this second thing as the not not finite thing.  This second thing is an active God that creates things for the universe.

We cannot know the not not finite thing, which is God.  But we can know God's attributes by learning the realities of the universe.  Since the attributes of God are infinite in number, human life will never end.

It is now clear that lords do not exist in a world created by an active God.
