According to estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions in the world. The word religion is sometimes used interchangeably with "faith" or "belief system", but religion differs from private belief in that it has a public aspect.

So using simple math we can calculate that the odds of you picking the correct one are :

4200 to 1

Or

A 1 in 4200 chance of picking the true religion


Or 0.0002380952%

So putting 4200 people in a room everyone with God in their heart (just a different interpretation of that god) would be most entertaining ...


JMHO

At least atheists are 100% sure

I am just a simple average girl next door. I believe there is good in everyone. I don't believe that material things or titles make a person but what is inside. I find that material things and titles don't make us happy but real live relationships. Relationships where we touch each others lives and make memories. Family, friends, co workers, neighbors, strangers we all NEED each other and can learn so much form each other. I believe in a God who loves us and knows us. A God who is there for us if we let Him. Deep down our soul cries out for Him but we have let things, time, money, relationships crowd our lives. God can and wants to make a difference in us. He know we are not perfect but He still loves us.
I am far from perfect and at times I have messed up. I have hurt those I love but I am so glad that God and His forgiveness has changed me. Will I never make mistakes again - Yes - I am human but I can ask for forgiveness from God and from those I hurt. We feel that asking for forgiveness means we are weak but that is not true.
I love you and hope and pray we all learn to love on another, forgive one another, and help one another and that it won't take something drastic for us to do that.

What does your religion say about The Gog and Magog and King Zulqarnain ?

Is Charged With Séxual Assault.
Cardinal George Pell is of course claiming to be innocent of all wrong doing.
Its all a conspiracy I tell ya !

Lets see how the "new revolutionary pope" handles this one.

My bet is;
Meet the new boss, Same as the old boss !

FROM THE ANCESTORS Vajrakila (Dorje Phurba) or Vajrakumar (Dorje Shonnu) is a name of tutelary deity Yidam in Vajrayana Buddhism. This practice was popular in India and Nepal for long time. Buddhist master Padmasambhava, Vimalamitra and Shilamnju (Of Nepal) introduced this practice into Tibet in the 8th century AD. There were many lineages of Vajrakila practice in Tibet. Among them Khon tradition Kila (Phurba) is one of the major practice in Sakyapa school of Tibetan Buddhism. Padamasambhava instructed major steps in sacred dance of Vajrakila at Samye Monastery in Tibet.

I just can't help myself posting this beautiful song as it is my reason to go further.
All that I have,all that I am.
I lay them down before you oh Lord.
All my regrets,all my acclaim.
The joy and the pain,I'm making them Yours.

Lord I offer my life to you, everything I've been through.
Use it for your glory.
Lord I offer my days to you, lifting my praise to you.
As a pleasing sacrifice.
Lord I offer you my life.

Things in the past,things yet unseen.
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true.
All of my hopes,all of my dreams.
My heart and my soul,I'm making them Yours.

I hope and I pray,you will also be inspired by this!God bless your journey....

As I look out my window, I see plumes of smoke billowing in many parts of the city.

'Rioting and looting?', you may ask worriedly.

No, it is Bonfire Night or St John's Eve. The fires are lit in every city, town, village and crossroads in the country.

Many who are now laughing and joking as they feel the heat of their fire, may not know exactly why they built it. But it is in their DNA to collect pallets and pieces of timber, and just about any other flammable material for days prior to tonight, and set the communal fire alight.

It is an ancient tradition passed down from generation to generation since times immemorial.

It was hijacked by Christianity probably in the 5th or 6th century, but it continues unabated.

Midsummer was an important time for our ancients the Summer Solstice. A time of long days, growth, and love


Star-crossed lovers used to jump over the fire hand in hand.

Maidens used to fast all day, then put a white table cloth on the table to eat her meal. Her future beloved was summonsed to then turn up bodily, or sometimes in spirit.

People used to gather the ashes from the dying fires and spread them over their fields for a good harvest.

Both communal and family fires were built. Stories were told around them, music played, matches made.

There are at least 5 communal fires within a kilometre of me at the moment.

I must now go and light a little fire of my own to connect with my ancestors, on this important night.

Okay, this blog is about something I usually do not talk about but on my way home tonight I was listening to my Bible cd. It got me thinking rather quickly when it spoke about how women are suppose to serve their men.

I could go on and on and on about the many examples here. I will just choose two.

Does feminism promote anti-religious behavior?

After all, the woman was created from Adam's rib and is suppose to be second to man. (Bible says)

and

The feminist movement has increased the divorce rate.


When listening to the Bible, it sure sounds like a lot of stuff that feminism does not support.

What do you think?

other places, all experiencing selfish, thoughtless, violent islamofascism. In spite of most of us knowing many decent Muslims, the numbers of sickos is large enough to have changed the world. It's simply much more difficult for the average schmo to look at Islam, and Muslims, with fairness and equanimity. If that was the goal of these twisted hot heads and their religious and educational leaders, fine work indeed. I've posted the possible reasons behind such deviant behaviors, which are best understood in trying to find solutions. Central are the clear messages in the holy Khoran to harm infidels, and the current debased state of Islamic culture, which at one time led much of the world. It's a sad human trait to blame others for the mess your culture finds itself in. Whenever we have the urge to see the source of our failings in others, it's prudent to stand in front of the nearest mirror. Prayers for the families and victims. Aa.
