THE INTRODUCTION OF A NEW RELIGIOUS/PHILOSOPHICAL VIEW: "OMITTOISM"

I have been thinking about religions and Gods for a long time. First of all, I should mention that I haven't seen the truth among the existing man-made religions. However, the idea of God is not too easy to deny. Therefore, I wanted to introduce "Omittoism" as my new religious view. A theosophistical approach.

(Keywords: Introduction, New, Religion, Philosophy, Religious, Philosophical, View, Omittoism, God, Human beings, Belief)

The verbal meaning of Omittoism:

Omittoism is a combination of the Latin word "omitto" and a Greek suffix "-ism". Omitto is a verb, which means to omit, to leave out, to neglect, to disregard, to abandon, to exclude and so on in English. In German, we may say "unterlassen". The suffix ism is obviously a distinctive doctrine, cause, or theory.

What does Omittoism declare?

Omittoism is a religious view and philosophical movement, in which, the main question is not about the existence of God. God may exist, or may not. That does not matter. What matters is that one will never let God act superior to them. To make a stand against God. To be either rebel or reckless according to one's personality. To protect humanity and human rights.

If God does not exist, that makes no difference for Atheist-like Omittoists. There is neither a surprise nor gloom in that.

In the worst case - if God exists, the Omittoist view is about turning one's back on God. To abandon him. To dislike him and his designs, creations, ideas, etc. To reject him because of his criminal records and bigotry. To despise him. To neglect him. Omittoism is all about being ashamed of having a miserable Creator or Creators.

Unlike Atheism, one sees or feels or somehow acknowledges God's existence, or one is too skeptical about the ultimate truth, or one is still in search but at the end of the day, one does not obey or follow God's commands. One is as free as a bird, as free as the air. One does not agree to be a slave even if God exists. There may be a God, but that just does not matter. There may be a God, but one does not care. 

Omittoism should not be confused with Apatheism. Apatheism is the attitude of apathy towards the existence or non-existence of God(s). Omittoism is the attitude of dislike and dissatisfaction towards the potential existing God(s).

The difference between Atheism and Omittoism is that Atheism denies the existence of God while Omittoism does not like God in case of his potential existence. The Creator (introduced ones) who built the whole universe from scratch and listening to people's extramarital sex rumors is nothing but a huge disappointment.

What kind of God or Gods may exist for the Omittoist view?

There are three basic answers:

I. There is a God/Gods that we are already familiar with him/them (~X)
I. There is a God/Gods that we do not know about him/them (~Y)
II. There is not a God (~Z)

In the case of X, the potential existing God is one of the famous Gods who have sent holy books to the planet earth. The Omittoist view is actually inclined to accept that God or Gods among the existing religions. This God maybe Jesus or Allah or someone else. Omittoism does not like any of these Gods and sees them as an Idiot God. "Why Omittoism does not like the current Gods?" will be mentioned in the next paragraph. If there is a God, we already know him. The Omittoist view finds the other versions irrational. If we don't know him yet, like the case Y, and he exists, it means he is a humble God, and his modesty is misleading us. As long as he keeps his quiet, the world and its population will run towards a cliff. To overlook everything is just unacceptable. This kind of God is an Idiot God as well. If God is dead, he is again an idiot. If God is "Deus Otiosus", again, he is an idiot. (Idiot = having a low intelligence compared to what is expected from God-level entity)


Overall, we may conclude that Omittoism does not like any kind of God and his intelligence, rationality, and plans. All Gods are a disappointment. 

In the case of Z, well, we don't need to use our brains too much.
