I don't think we have a drop in a bucket's worth of knowledge as to what all there really is out there, or what things are really about, or that we will ever know..
All we know is from the human perception of things.. We basically learn what we need to know in order to survive, with the exception of a few.
Does anyone know what actually takes place when a mother knows that her sibling is hurting or has been harmed even though they are thousands of miles apart? Or a child that knows all about the personal life of some older guy, since passed, that lived in another country?
And the guy who was afraid of water for no reason; only to find out, quite by accident, that the phobia was due to the fact that he had been a submariner in a past life and drown when the sub was attacked. He proved without a doubt that he knew things that he could not have known otherwise. I could go into detail about that one, but this isn't the topic.
All I am saying is.. just because we can't explain some things, or some things seem unbelievable, we have a tendancy to create our own explanations where they are no longer unexplainable; making us ok with it.. I think this is because of our standards of perceiving and thinking. Things DO happen that we can't explain.. things DO exist that we can't explain. But we choose to bury our heads in the sand because if we accepted these things as being true in their actual form, then the total thought/belief process would be fedexed to Hell (no pun intented) in a handbag.
Some scholars have said that if the Dead Sea Scrolls were translated in the terms of their day, religion as we know it would vanish.. maybe not a bad thing, unless of course you are a believer in religion.
Just one more thing.. If God does exist, who made him a religious entity? That was a manmade thing, just as religion itself is.
Oh well.. it made sense to me..
