Kazanova3 YOO-HOO, where are you?

Where are your answers. When Christians don't have answers they just leave. Are you the same way?

As long as the Silicon Valley sages stay quizzical about a quark and a quasar, the search for a Soul and Spirituality can be sanguinely sustained.

I agree. Let Science clear up the unknown. It will. Please keep SUPERSTITION off the BOARDS.

The Human Spirit is what elevates us above the mere matter. The matter alone, be it in the Micro-world or in the Macro-world, in the end becomes unfathomable.

I agree. Let us not confuse human spirituality with
whichcraft, ritualistic, arhaic, ceremonies. Let us not
judge each other by baseless, mythical standards. Let reality, human kindness, human creativity be the standards
by which we live. Let us rid ourselves of the hatred generated by ridiculous, religious beliefs and cults.

I think we got a winner.

SORRY BILL - you're on a loser !!

Mankind has tried all that 'let's love each other' stuff and - like communism - it was good in theory - but tragic in consquence of the fact that MAN SIMPLY CANNOT KEEP EVEN HIS OWN STANDARDS.

I am fully aware of the failings of men who would put themselves forward as 'spiritual' in one religion or another, or who preach one thing and do another. I cannot deny the horrors of religious warfare. However, IF....the christian concepts of living (let's not put labels on it) as put forward by Jesus Christ as stated and lived BY HIM (and not as sometimes translated wrongly by A. N. Other) were put into practice by EVERYONE - there would be perfect peace and harmony.

But we can't.

But that is what heaven is all about, where - through God's grace and the love and sacrifice of Jesus for you and me - WE WILL BOTH KNOW AND LIVE PERFECT LIVES.

.....not a fairy story....just a bit more than some can see.

Greetings Andrew,

Sorry friend, the other shoe just dropped. I told you about the article in Newsweek. It is proven beyond the doubt that
Religious Thoughts, Religious Emotions come from the same part of the Brain that produces FEAR. It is therefore logical to say that Religion is based on FEAR. From the days of the Sabre Tooth Tiger, to todays knowledge of mortality, we have been operating on FEAR. We have worshipped many things. Not one of them was walid protection against the things we Feared. The same thing can be said about the various Gods we worship today.

The Virgin Birth, Virgin Mary story is not any more credible than the salvation the Hindus are promised for bathing in the Ganges. The sooner you realize that the sooner you can start giving all your love and kindness to your family and friends and environment. We are waiting.
