  • Bonnie :"J'aime tous les Dieux"

    Si vous êtes assez ouvert en matière de religion, lisez la confession de Bonnie Nordstrum, une polythéiste américaine qui se dit très heureuse dans sa relation ouverte avec Jésus au point d'aimer tous les Dieux, Allah compris. Elle a même effectué le pélérinage à la Mecque!

    I'm In An Open Relationship With The Lord
    With Jesus as my personal Savior, I felt like I had it all. But then we hit a rough patch, and before long, I was beginning to question both my faith in Him and His commitment to me. At one point, it seemed the relationship was doomed. But I did a lot of soul searching, and together we found a solution that fit both of our needs by adopting an alternative theological lifestyle.

    Now that I'm in an open relationship with the Lord, I feel a greater spiritual satisfaction than I've ever known.

    It all started when I was 16 and first asked Jesus to enter my heart. It was incredible. He filled me up with His love. I'd never been redeemed before, but with Jesus it felt so right, as if the sins of the world had been lifted off my shoulders. For a while there, we were communing via the sacraments several times a week! And every night we spent what seemed like hours in long, mutually satisfying sessions of prayer. I worshipped Him.

    Soon the honeymoon period ended, however. Whenever I spoke to Him, He seemed distracted and distant—sometimes I wondered if He was listening at all. Daily devotionals felt like we were just going through the motions of repetitive, meaningless dogma. A few months later, I made a potentially disastrous discovery: I found out I wasn't the only one He was sanctifying.

    One day, I overheard my coworker Sally talking on the phone about how much God had helped her through her recent divorce. She said she "saw the light" after just one night with Him. At first I kept thinking, "Is she talking about the same Savior?" The next Sunday, I followed her to an unfamiliar church on the edge of town and just sat in my car for a while in disbelief. I finally walked up to the front door, but before I could open it, I heard the unmistakable sounds of ecstatic praise coming from inside. There was no denying it. I'd caught Sally red-handed, making a joyful noise unto my own special Lord.

    I was devastated. How could He do this to me? Here I had let Him into my soul in the most intimate way possible, and He had betrayed our personal bond by accepting the thanks and adulation of Sally, and God knows how many others as well. I was humiliated I ever let Him wash my soul in His blood in the first place.

    But I began to realize that He wasn't the only one who needed more. Hadn't I been growing tired of reciting the same old liturgy week after week? So I steeled myself with a stiff drink of communion wine, opened up my Bible, and confronted Him. In His divinely inspired scriptures, I learned that I hadn't driven Him to seek out others. He just needed to redeem as many sinners as He could to fulfill His destiny as Messiah. It was part of who He was.

    If He could forgive me all of my trespasses, shouldn't I do the same for Him? He saved my soul, and now it was up to me to save the relationship. I decided then and there to start experimenting outside the boundaries of traditional monotheistic worship.

    To be honest, I'd been flirting with polytheism all along by accepting the doctrine of the Trinity and simultaneously worshipping the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. If I could see all three of them as viable deities, why not others? I took it slow at first. I'd always been a strict Protestant, but I started practicing some Catholicism on the side. Before long, I was meditating on the Buddha. I felt serenity coursing through my body like never before!

    The Lord my God is a jealous God, and He didn't like the idea at first. He made it very clear that I should take no God before Him—but he never mentioned anything about taking one after Him! And now that I've opened myself up to exciting new spiritual experiences, our bond is stronger than ever.

    I've gone to Native American drum circles, New Age channeling workshops, and Shinto temples. I hung a mezuzah over my door, and last summer I made a pilgrimage to Mecca. I even spent a weekend in a no-holds-barred, worship free-for-all with two dozen Hindu gods!

    See, we have an understanding: He can save any sinner He wants, and I can worship any deity I want. But we are still together. Some may think it's strange, but I'm no longer worried about other people's unenlightened moralizing. My spiritual life is better then ever! I love God—heck, I love all of them—and I am one deeply, deeply fulfilled woman.

    Bonjour Nassim...


    D'après la façon dont elle parle de sa vision de la foi, elle n'est pas polythéiste cette femme...

    Plutôt "polythéologiste" ou "polydoctriniste" pour trouver un terme qui définirai un peu ce qu'elle semble ressentir.

    Crie leur qu'on est le monde...Que le peuple finira par vaincre,
    Qu'ils ont le chiffre, qu'on a le nombre...Et que la rue nous appartient!

            Bonsoir

            elle n'est pas polythéiste cette femme...
            Si, elle l'avoue elle même en disant "To be honest, I'd been flirting with polytheism all along by accepting the doctrine of the Trinity and simultaneously worshipping the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost."

            Un adepte du polythéisme est une personne qui croit en plusieurs Dieux. Et c'est ce qu'avoue Bonnie.

            Je précise que l'article en question est une "satire". Son but me semble être un appel à la tolérance entre les croyants des différentes religions. Son message est un peu : "Je suis protestante mais cela ne m'empêche pas de m'ouvrir aux autres religions, de respecter et d'apprécier leurs adeptes". Une approche bienvenue dans une époque où beaucoup de croyants d'une religion ont tendance à mépriser voire à diaboliser les croyants des autres religions.

            C'est un peu la vision de "momo.05", notre polythéiste préférée!

                J'avoue que je n'ai jamais tout à fait saisi la notion de la Trinité parce que je n'ai jamais réussi à determiné ce qu'était le Saint Esprit.

                Mais à part cela il me semble quand même qu'il n'y a qu'un Dieu dans l'idée et la pratique.

                Dieu le père, Jésus le fils...et je ne sais pas quoi, le Saint Esprit.

                Non?

                Un Dieu unique...une monothéiste.

                Crie leur qu'on est le monde...Que le peuple finira par vaincre,
                Qu'ils ont le chiffre, qu'on a le nombre...Et que la rue nous appartient!
