Your opinion on God, whether you believe or not, is noted Chris. :)

I'm Not Educated, Not Self nor Otherwise. I Had Brain Damage Twice while very Young.

But, I Do Know This: While lying in bed, before sleep, My Mind tries to Enter Depths of Space, Time and Knowledge Not Known to World's Most Educated or Fabulously Aware. I Believe Every One tries to Go There, Quite Often, in Quiet Time.

And, I Come Up With Nothing. Same as ET Civilisations Millions of Years Advanced. They Still Do Not Know.

'It' Scares 'Them', It Scares Us, as 'It' Scares Me, will continue to Scare Every 'One' Throughout The Universe.

And HuWoMan Will Continue to Have No Answer. No Matter Education, No Matter Advancements.

No Matter What.

GOD, Mono or Poly, will Seep Into Conscious, Sub-Conscious, Soul.

Because of Questions. Because of Fear of Answers, Not Known.

Yep

May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!!

A story I read: At a house party, the hostess noticed that Pres. Lincoln
was not circulating with the rest of the guests. She discovered him, in
an adjoining room, reclined on a sofa, reading -- and, chuckling. Discreetly,
she walked behind him, to see what had amused him so much.

He was reading the book of Job.

One has to wonder how differently western civilization would have developed if Constantine had not endorsed christianity and the catholic church as the one true roman religion.

Why would 'pagans' voluntarily, and they did, convert to Christianity?

Even believing Religion is nothing more than Controlling The Masses. You can do this with ANY Religion.

Again: Why Change to Christianity?

Here is a subject I rarely breach.
Because my thoughts are set in stone, and I won't be moved.
So, that makes me that antagonist in any religious argument I get involved in.

I have a very deep faith. Implanted by mostly my mother in my early years.
I believe in God as my guiding light. He has blessed me with so many things, and I speak with Him every day to thank him for them.

I don't put down nonbelievers. You are completely free to believe or not as your soul moves you. I am also not going to try to tell you what you should or should not believe.

I can only attest to what MY beliefs are, and hope that perchance some of you might rethink your position. That is all I shall do.

I am sure that a few of you are just as steadfast in your opinions as I am in mine. That is fine.

I have a faith the has guided me on my wayward path for all of my life. And it has served me rather well, my friends.
I have had so many instances of God intervening in my life to save me from my own self destructive tendencies that I cannot help but acknowledge Him.

So So Many People Turn Luck into A Belief. Usually GOD.

Before I Actually Died, Finally, I Should have been Dead, many many times.

Luck Saved Me, Every Time.

The Times I gave GOD a try, Bad Luck and Bad things occurred.

Hey, this Shat can be Twisted Any Way One Wants. You Know, Wants to Believe.

There are As Many DEAD, who Took The Curve Too Fast, as are Alive.

Opinions are like Ass Holes, Every One has One, and Dies With 'it', Believing To The End-unless Finding Religion at The Final Moment-Whatever 'it' 'is' They Believe.

Yep. Nope. Who Knows?

I Don't.

Here is some thoughts since it's Easter.
Well. A lot of thoughts:)
From a highschool graduate...

Similarities and differences within Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

There are three major religions of the world that have sprung from the same God, the Creator, through one man, Abraham. In an effort to highlight the similarities and differences within these three great monotheistic religions, I have chosen to look at the core and creeds thereof and compared rites, feasts and festivals.

From a journalist.

In Mosul, northern Iraq, there is no Easter this year
Every Easter Saturday in this Saturday column, I amuse myself by thinking loud about what is most horrific , on the whole.
I mean, there's still no one reads the newspaper today, most of them dedicated to hide Easter candy for the kids, drinking coffee in Vadstena and eat an unusually large number boiled eggs. At least I do.
One year, I noted that environmental degradation is the most dangerous of all.
"We must not forget other struggles, never, but if we allow the Earth's average temperature will increase by four degrees, the latest forecasts inexorably points to become our planet a disaster area. All other struggles are then lost. Every important special interest will be remembered as a bygone era of extravagance and luxury in a paradise. "
And so it is understood. Yet, last Easter Saturday, I considered that nationalism was a much more urgent threats.
"Nationalism leads to racism and right-wing extremism, but worse than that: Nationalism leads to war. War leads to the obvious - mass death - but also to the economic collapse, poverty, hunger, barbarism. To hell. "

All good text. It is the way these three religions are presented by their leaders that causes so much trouble. Because entwined with the religion is a power struggle to win the minds of the masses and to control territory.

I have to, sadly, agree, Bob. Not all the religious leaders strive to
control people, but enough of them. As a Muslim friend of mine said:
"It's not religion, it's differences in cultures that are the causes
for much strife."

I tend to agree with your friend. And it, sadly, is the cause of more strife than just what appears to be on the surface 'religious'.
