Platinum Lantern

This came to me after a heated arguement with church "elders"
There is no perfect religion
Man is still searching for the "perfect path to God"
The truth is Jesus (if you believe that he existed) was STILL SEARCHING

Each man and woman owes it to themselves to search for God's truth in their life.

religion is fiction dude

Platinum Lantern

I will agree with you to some degree that religion has fictional elements
But I do feel that their is a God
And that man is still searching to understand god...

Well to be quite frank some don't give a shit about trying to understand god and just live their lives focused on themselves totally

I choose not to be that type of person though

religion is a way to control the masses...

Platinum Lantern

Could you elaborate on that...
I'm open to all input

Also a question do you believe there is a higher power "God"

religion is hardly fiction. many great and horrible things have been done because of religion. religion has real power. be it spiritual or not.

Imagine there not being any religion.. No real reason to do right for the final judgement..

Many people need a 'roadmap' of sorts to get through life with the faith that in the end, greater things are in store..

I'm not talking about the people who use religion as an excuse to kill... These people are as lost as those with true faith and human respect would be without their religions...

My belief is that God is a man made idea. God is created in the image of man. If there is a god, he hates us and we are here for his amusement.

Platinum Lantern

Thats an interesting yet disturbing idea
All I can say on that is that I hope not

I think if he hated us things would be a lot worse. Also we wouldn't be able to acheive joy

Impossible. You can't be constantly in a state that is the opposite of joy, unless you have a something to compare it to. Therefore you need a balance. If everyone would be miserable all the time, then they'd have no idea about it as they'd have nothing to compare it to, so for all we know they could consider themselves incredibly happy. States of mind are relative.

Is this hell we are in now?
If so it's kinda comfortable

Trying to grow a brain will hurt you. Stick with what you're good at.

why wouldnt we be able to acheive joy? you are stuck on the idea of god as in church.

detoxed

Again, thats assuming God has TOTAL POWER like the church says.... I never said that

DamageX

Dude, you're assuming a whole lot there. Did I mention God? Did I mention religion? I just mentioned that you need a scale with extremes, in order to be able to label the way you feel as one way or another, as it is relative to how you've felt on previous occasions.

A religion should give you peace and harmony. That kind of religion is Wicca. It gives its practicioners a freedom to choose the right path to spirituality. The basics of Wicca are very old. You can learn more about Wicca visiting this link.
If you do not know what Wicca is, start by reading this article.

God is an answer to the unexplainable brought forth by conscious intelligent beings. I highly doubt it's something specific to our planet or species. Other civilizations will come to age asking themselves the same questions we have asked ourselves. I'm sure the question of a creator spans the entire universe.

Since my second return to this Earth in 1947 at Roswell (yeah it was me - not those made up aliens the Govt wants you to believe in - they know better since they talk to my dad all the time) I have been watching for the appropriate moment to announce the coming - however we have another year or so before the entire world is in distress with all nations involved in war - until that time there will be smaller indications (floods, disturbences etc which have already started) however you'll know it when you see it. I would suggest you stop your nitwit Bush from thinking he's a king - there is only one although Bush is right - my dad does talk to him all the time trying to get him to stop.
Course that time when my dad was talking to Moses he almost made him shit his pants when he lit up that bush with his phaser - yeah Tom Cruise and his fellow Ronskiites are almost right about the alien thing but I wouldnt suggest running out and buying space suits yet - not too many are going to be left when dad comes down to check out the place from the looks of things.

A lot of the trouble people get into when arguing Religion is that they call it "fiction." Religion isn't fictional, it's allegorical. Once that is understood, it makes little difference whether any of it is factual or not.

I believe in energy. It's all around us. It never dies. It just changes form. Perhaps, in some way, energy has a sort of "intelligence". Ancient peoples trying to understand it likely came up with the concept of "God".

"God is a kid with an ant farm" - Constantine the movie

I think Religion simplifies God way to much - it's man made and incorporated to explain the unexplainable. Too much suffering has been brought on the earth in the name of God and Religion.
