Above is an example of Gravitational power as two galaxies are drawn to each other.

Individuals are born into a particular religion. As children, we know little about religions other than that of our parents. In just about all cases, we were taught that the religion of our parents is the only true religion, and barring intervention, we internalized that as factual. A child born into a Catholic family would be taught that the only way to reach heaven was to follow the dogma of the Catholic Church to the letter. After all, they believed it was the largest church in existence, and therefore, must be the true church. A young child raised like that would not know there were people other than Catholics. 

Attending Catholic grammar school, and a year and a half of Catholic high school did not do much to broaden Mr. Joyce's view of religion, but when he left home at 18 years of age to make his own way in life, his eyes were opened. He found that there are 500 million Protestants  that question the validity of the beliefs of the 1.5 billion Catholics in the world. Later, as he traveled the world, he found that there were far more non-Christians than Christians. Obtaining this knowledge caused an awakening of doubt in his mind about what his family and the Catholic Church had taught him as a child. He had always been inquisitive about things he did not understand (his father used to say that he would argue with the Pope), and he started on a lifelong quest to understand religion and Deism.

Eventually, he found himself agitated when listening to a Priest or Minister say things from a pulpit with which he did not agree, but because of decorum, he was unable to stop them and enter into a dialogue. He believed he had a right to discuss with anyone something that had been said that was not in agreement with his opinion.  Being preached to just did not sit well with him and he ceased attending formal religious services.

He found happiness not being affiliated with any religion. The removal of the Catholic guilt he had internalized as a child was a weight off his psychological shoulders. Then came a tour of duty in South Vietnam. In early February of 1968, during the nationwide Tet Offensive, he was alone on guard duty at about 2:00 in the morning when a sniper took a shot at him. The shot came from behind and the shooter had probably already grabbed his rifle and taken off running by the time he reacted, but he could not be sure of that. He saw a row of bushes about three feet high on his right side and dove for cover into the darkness they provided. As his dive started, he said to himself, “Oh boy, if there’s anyone watching over us, I need help now!” It was a prayer by someone who could not remember the last time he prayed. Before he hit the ground under the bushes and turned to aim his M-16 in the direction of the sniper, he said to himself, "No one is going to help me, but me. Roll under the bushes and make yourself small.” He marked that point in his life as the time that he completely broke with the organized religions of the world. The well-known saying that there are no Atheists in foxholes did not apply in his case. 

He continued through life telling others he was an Atheist when asked about his religious preference, but he always had a nagging thought that the Cosmos could not have come into being without a Deistic factor. After many years, it struck him that if the controlling force of the Cosmos is a Deity and the Cosmos could not have been created without Gravity, then God is Gravity or Gravity is God. 

The theory of God and Gravity being the same is so basic, religious scholars and researchers overlooked it for centuries. The duality of God and Gravity is no more difficult to understand or accept than the Christian theory that God, Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit are one and the same. For the enlightenment that God is Gravity and Gravity is God to fall upon one so unimportant as he, is no more surprising than the belief that Allah dictated the contents of the Qur'an to the Prophet, Muhammad, in a cave on the outskirts of Mecca in the sixth century. At that time in his life, Muhammad was an unimportant, illiterate businessman. As an illiterate person, Muhammad had to remember everything he claimed Allah told him (over several sessions), and recite it to the first followers of Islam (one meaning of the word Qur'an is recitation). Throughout the history of the world, seemingly unimportant, modest citizens started religions, and that pattern continues with the establishment of The Universal Church of Gravity.
