Great isn't it?
Thanks Johnny..
"Non-religious people have a more realistic view on the world because they still have their own mind....."
What I would have liked to say more clearly is that Non religious people have a more realistic view on the world because they are not held back or limited by any religious dogma....
Everyone has hope to a certain degree...in my opinion...I buy lottery tickets and have some hope but know the odds!!
In regards to the topic of religion and power...many grass roots people did not have the ablity to read or write, so they went to church to listen to the priests/ministers of the churches read from the scriptures...keeping the people illiterate gave the church power...is what I learnt in school...however religion should not be held accountable for the err of mankind...so being religious does not make you any less susceptable to evil...religion could be used as the vehicle of deception. Just my opinion...

Hi how are you?...great blog topic...lots of opinions here...just thought I would give my own...have a good weekend!!
.....
I think what I was trying to say that religion is just that...a story... but people decide what is to be done...so if it was decided that a religion was to be forced upon its' people...it sounds more like a power play between church and state...politically motivated...not by religion as a faith...as I said religion could be used as the vehicle to deception...
The church is always the power behind the state regardless what country you live in, just some are more obvious about it than others.
What a lot of people aren't aware of is that the vatican controlls the anglican, protestant as well as the Catholic church including all the so-called break-a-ways such as the lutheran church.
Speaking of the vatican, it's only as recent as last year that the pope changed the age of consent from 12 to 18 in the vatican city.
You are correct, the invention of the printing press changed everything, just like the invention of the web has done these days......

NO WAY I AM READING THIS HANS. AND I AM SUCH IN GOOD MOOD THAT I AM NOT EVEN GOING TO ENUMERATE ALL THE COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD THAT HAS OUTRIGHT INFLUENCE ON THE STATE. ENGLAND FOR INSTANCE IS A FOOTHOLD OF THE GOD DARN MONARCHY WHO ARE NOT GOD, UNLESS OF COURSE, THEY JUST CHANGED THEIR BEARINGS FROM THAT OF A PRIVATE KINGDOM TO THE PROTESTANT RELIGION WHICH TGHEY SO BELIEVE IN?
LIVE IN YOUR COUNTRY AUSTRALIA, AND MIND YOU HANS. I DON'T SEE NO INFLUENCE OF RELIGIOUS ACTIVITY WITHIN THE REALMS OF YOUR GOVERNMENT AT ALL. WHICH BY THE WAY THE AGAIN, A PRO MONARCHIAL IN NATURE BECAUSE OF THE KINGDOM OF ENGLAND?
MY COUNTRY, I'D BE DARN IF I EVER AGREE WITH YOU THAT THERE IS ANY INFLUENCE ON ANY RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES PERTAINING TO ENACTMENT AND PRACTICE AND IMPLEMENTATIONS OF LAWS AT ALL.
YOU ARE JUST OUTRIGHT WRONG, HANS...AND I CAN'T JUST IGNORE YOUR BLANKET AUTHORITY ON YOUR ARGUMENTS.

I would be very supprised if the koran hasn't been changed as well to suit those extreamists who wish to use it for power.
On the subject of 'right to rule', most British people don't even know that for 300 years their beloved royal family have been of Austrian decent their name was changed to Windsor to hide this fact.....
