What good does religion offer the world today?

@Leadfoot,

Yes, I've seen the Pieta. I was impressed by the Vatican for its architecture and size. I have seen most of these: http://www.planetware.com/tourist-attractions-/rome-i-la-r.htm

You can see my travel blog at: http://www.travelpod.com/members/c.i.222

Will be happy to answer any question.

@TheCobbler,

The dude is dead serious sometimes.
Is it any wonder it says to 'fear God'?

@Leadfoot,

I don't fear God at all..."God" is not free to do anything. In fact perfection in BEING binds "God" to do what must be done...one could say its done...Reality as a whole it is already complete.
I don't correct God, nor God does correct me....nothing needs be corrected.

If this were the finished product, I'd be major bummed. I imagined it so such better than this and I suspect God can do even better.

But your view has been the inspiration for a lot of songs.

'If That's All There Is,...'

'Bring In The Clowns'

'Why Don't We Get Drunk And Screw'

List goes on...

@Leadfoot,

Yes I can see some folk are highly compelled to be judgemental and confuse complexity with noise...
Your "God can do better" is fantastic...
Reality cannot be erased. Truth cannot be changed.

@TheCobbler,

I know about the Old Believers. This is an old Christian faith, which has kept the the rules of piety without modern changes. My friends, Russian Old Believers, live in the villages, they are honest, happy people and no one is doing evil.

Restored US-Cuba relations, for one...

@Olivier5,

I've been to Cuba several times, and know that Cubans are happy about the restored relations between them and the US.

@cicerone imposter,

Been there too. Yes, they would welcome it of course. It must be hard to live under the constant, paranoid reminder by your govt that the behemoth next door hates your guts. A return to normal relations must come as a relief. It also gives Cubans a chance to evolve politically.

So thank you Pope Francis.

@TheCobbler,

Really? I've heard people say they believe the prophet who wrote it so they accept a deity spoken of in the book but I've never heard anyone offer the book itself as proof of the deity.

So who wrote "Mr. Tickle" anyway?

@Leadfoot,

Roger Hargreaves. Arthur Lowe voiced the TV series.

@izzythepush,

Hargreaves, obviously British. You just can't trust those Brits, taxing our tea and all that.

Next thing you know they'll try and edit the bible! Oh wait...

@Leadfoot,

I thought the Brits have already done that? The King James Version...

At least we didn't drop a lot of chemicals and fire on the Vietnamese people.

And force a lot of naïve kids like me to participate.
Most of them didn't learn a damn thing from the experience either.

@Leadfoot,

Of course God wrote the tickle (and also 'Mr. Itch'). Smile
