| | I've learned in my nearly 60 years not to discuss politics or religion among casual friends. But illegal substances are OK. Oh, by the way, Oberman really Bitch slapped bush tonight. Ha!

| | Well here are some other things I have problems with:
Moses; First of all, the idea of an ark that was supposedly capable of carrying 2 of every animal in the world being built in one mans life-time by that one man with little help is inconceivable. Secondly, Moses is based on a Syrian myth about 'Misis'.
Another thing is that the mythical overlay in the bible is almost unbearable; to me that is.
The Christ-like figure goes all the way back to Greek mythology of Hercules. He was born of a virgin, Alcmene, (this is original mythology, I'm greek. lol) a son for a father, Zeus, and the only begotten. 'Savior' of the greek people, thier 'Sotuer'. Hercules was also 'the prince of peace' and 'bringer of divine wisdom'. He died and joined his father on Olympus a thousand years before Gethsemane.
Taken alone the philosophical teachings of Jesus are Buddhism with a Hebrew accent. Kindness, tolerance, brotherhood, love, a ruthless realism acknowledging that life is as it is here on Earth, here and now. The kingdom of god, meaning, goodness is right here where it should be.
Besides, I think that trying to convince people through scare tactics (the possibility of Hell) and truth by faith rather than truth by proof is widely ignorant and completely unethical. Especially from a religion professing ethics, truth, tolerance, and love...
But, these are just my opinions and beliefs. I'm not trying to convert people to my beliefs, just giving my reasoning.
Like almost everyone on here, I live with acceptance and equilibrium of my surroundings. I have no problem with any religion just as long as they respect my beliefs as I respect theirs.
Except scientology... that's not a religion... it's science-fiction. The creator of it even said so on his death-bed yet it's still followed...

| | there's gotta be a god...
think about how everything works, how everything is, everything that exists...
some random ass thing was floating around in non-existance then all of a sudden exploded and created universe and everything in it that we have today?
i'll believe in god before that. lol
i for one believe in god, i was raised as a christian and stuck to their beliefs for my whole life, but recently been thinking too much, so i don't really follow the religion, just have faith that god is out there.

| | Well I'm not saying I can explain everything. It's just that we've proven that the big bang theory actually happened. We don't know how it came to be or why. It could be that a creative designer created the ball of energy and the bible was completely made up. But we'll pretty much never know for a fact what actually happened. I just find the idea of a sentient being that can do anything, knows everything, is everywhere at once, and exists outside of time itself is hard to believe for me. lol
I was also raised as a christian and just can't accept what they teach in church any more. |
