First do no harm. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Contribute to the creation in a positive manner. Everything else is superfluous.

Exactly Scorpio. Fear,Fear,Fear. That the key. You don't do this, you're going to Hell. You do this, you're going to Heaven. Ha..ha. Keep the masses in fear and they will follow anything.

I think religion was first started to keep the masses of people in check,as there were no police,etc. at that time.

You guys pretty much covered my thoughts on religion. I just leave my thoughts & options open for something there after death. I say a prayer now and then.

Very good points Jimmy & Joker. Actually if you read the Old testament about God, Whoa! What a mean mother...ker is he, isn't he. Alot of those commandments makes Hitler, Stalin, etc. look like Angels. Ha..ha. Anyway, it was interesting talking about this. Don't take life too seriously because it's all pluck up, if you know what I mean.

As you state, he does seem to have human qualities. I've heard the lonely factor too. Also, he's the only one allowed to be jealous. Another human trait that God should be outside the realm of. There are so many inconsistencies that are replete throughout the explanations and interpretations of what many think what God is supposed to be, it makes my head spin. So many folks and groups claim to know the intentions of an entity that is debatable at best. I believe that... [ More ]

A way to resolve this contradiction is to simply abandon the perception of "God" as a powerful human-like entity, and spend time searching for more plausible ways to explain existence. <br

I've read some on the limbs growing. It's funny how healing stops right there...lol The Bible was plagiarised, and I've written about this many times. it was derived from Pagan religions amongst other beliefs. I've even posted worthy videos that most who are brainwashed will never wacth because they don't want to hear the truth. They put their hands over their ears. What a shame huh? What amazes me is that even after the holy rollers on TV like Jim Baker and Swaggert... [ More ]

Have you read 'Chariots of the godsâ€˜ï¼ŸGreat book! Also about the Sumerians and all that jazz. Highly interesting. I was reading online and the question was asked, if God exists, why doesn't he(it) regrow limbs? Of all the 'so called' miracles, we never hear about regrowth of limbs. Just Google: Why doesn't God grow limbs? Very interesting read. I like to listen to Esther Hicks & Abraham. There insight is very interesting and so on point. Law of Attraction. Anywayï¼Œ In the end when you and I... [ More ]

I also agree with you that being spiritual is a good thing. We're all made of energy, so there is a good chance that a part of us may pass on to another plane of existence. But for one person or a group to claim they know the exact details of the next existence is ludicrous and delusional. No one knows anything for sure whatsoever. Last time I heard, no one came back from the dead and solved the puzzle. <br

My opinion is that religion is the major cause of most conflicts in the world in the past and in the present and I guess it will be in the future. People have the right to worship how they wish as long as it is their choice and not force on them. Religion is just another way to control the masses. We are so brain washed most people don't even know it so they will fight and argue about something they don't know for sure whether this or that is true. This is my thinking. If so and so religion makes you a better person as a whole then by all means practice it until you die. No harm no Foul. I use to follow a religion and I am so happy I left it long, long ago. I feel free. That has worked for me. It's not to say I don't believe in a 'higher power'. It's not to say I don't believe that we have a creator and a purpose. Religion is simply man made to as I said control the masses. If you really look into the history behind the Bible and other 'holy book', you will be so disappointed to learn the truth. I'm glad Todd locked the thread. It was getting out of hand. Anyway, I enjoy MOST of your lottery postings and keep on keeping on. Just my 2 cents.... [ More ]

Below is something folks may want to know concerning the founding fathers, and the misconceptions about their beliefs... One of the many attacks on our country from the Religious Right is the claim that our country is a Christian Nation...not just that the majority of people are Christians, but that the country itself was founded by Christians, for Christians. However, a little research into American history will show that this statement is a lie. Those people who spread this li... [ More ]

Todd, If you're reading this, I'd like to clear something up. I'm sure you didn't read every page of that thread, but many many times I stated not just in that thread, that it's not just Christianity, but ALL religions. Even Ridge asked me to actually write it, so it's there for everyone to see.

Also, even though there were Christians who had a hand in creating this country early on, there were many who weren't religious. So I don't think it's fair not to mention that in your closing statement.
