Religion is a lie

Hope you like it there, nice climate...

I indeed like that climate.

I know the following is old stuff but I still find it nice:

Thats what your afraid of. Thats why you except Jesus Christ. Because your afraid of eternal burning. But if the threat of hell dissapeired of Saturday the church would be empty on sunday .

If you don't want your faith shaken turn back now because you and your god will lose. I am an alpha male. We are all alpha if we choose.

Haha,



I never have and i doubt ever will have a "faith in god"

Can't say the idea's ever struck me any more true than Santa Claus.

My first post wasn't serious, i was joking.

If it will make you feel better I could talk this way about another god you don't like. Then it kind of gives your god credit???

**** their god and **** your god.

FREEDOM!!!!!!

You don't pay much attention to replies do you?

i hear ya amigo

but i would explain it like this -

our thoughts can become our actions and THINGS.
I think that the need to belong to something greater and more powerful than themselves is such a huge need for people that religion fits right in.
Where was it invented ? Who knows.
Some speculate that it was invented by the Greek ( christianity that is) to control the masses. Others say other stuff.. but the base of it was to gain control and guide masses of people at once.
Is that true?
Dunno. Was not there when it was created so how would I know?

Point is, after ALL this time of people creating the same thought, doing the same actions, putting their energy forth into the same thing, they HAVE created that religion. And now , on a very basic theme.. IT IS TRUE.

You can tests a humans reactions to visions, sounds and viewed behaviors on many new pieces of technology and the FEAR of hell is very real to people. The FELLING of being accepted, wanted and needed by church is VERY real to people. The IDEA that they are doing RIGHT is very real to people. The PHYSICAL reaction to this creation is REAL.

Will what they project happen when they die? no one knows and only the most arrogant of people assume they do. Even inside of a religion many say different things. You go straight to heaven, you 'sleep and wait' , purgatory, hell........They guess. We all guess because no one has died and lived to tell about it. Thats impossible But that is a fact. Hell is not. Purgatory is not. These are ideas , thoughts, feelings, and not proven. This doesnt take away from the credibility of the person who believes it. Remember, its real to THEM. In their universe.. but proving the happenings of each religion is impossible since everything supposedly happens after death.
But what is possible is creating the mindset , the energy force , the physical reaction to, the behaviors of and the fears of , religious thinking. That manifests in the person and THAT can be proven. Our reactions can be proven.

It isnt a lie.
It is a creation.

I feel tricked. It wouldn't be the first time.

It's okay, some members of some religion will come on soon, you posted at the wrong time of day, Americans and Canadians are still in bed, not many people are on...

Just keep an eye out for plagues... The first one is red water...

In many ways it's more like weapon, used to control and manipulate.

"Religion" is something to think about when laying epoxy flooring.
Unfortunately, we're all stuck with it !

Good synopsis of of the irrelevance of "truth" to social reality.

Not trying to get dragged into a religious debate about anything here. You believe what you believe and I leave you to believe it. I do not force my opinion and views on others. I live a life of simple faith and beliefs.

What I don't care for is when someone comes in and states something very rashly and very harshly when they have not been provoked. If I came to your door step and started preaching to you the holy word of what ever religion I believed in, then I could understand the hostility. For every action their is an equal and opposite reaction. This I can understand.

Don't come here and try to tear down someone's belief structure just because it doesn't fit the puzzle of yours. You have a different puzzle and your pieces do not fit their puzzle so don't force it.

Respect goes a long way. If you relay your thoughts and beliefs in a respectful way you will get along a lot better here.

Religion is big business, there is much profit to be had.

That was its intention, when it was created, fabricated, made up, by early Roman Bishops, who were politicians.

I hear it's a dry heat. Not at all humid. So the depiction of the person sweating is quite inaccurate. I hear the sweat boils into steam in the sweat gland before it even hits the air.

Bring lots of sunblock and aloe to avoid sunburn.
