rivame: No single religion has yet been able to build a temple or place of worship big enough to house the universe....

thank goodness...because it means I am free to sit under a tree and feel at one with the creator....without needing a label like catholic,muslim etc


Bang on Riv handshake thumbs up bouquet

ziggy67: If there was no religion, would the world be at peace. ???


Nope.

Religion is just a tool that power hungry people use to further their own greed for power and narcissism. These people would always find another excuse.

EagleWoman: What do you make of an "entity" that organises "charitable acts" with the gains from "killing others" which they preach shouldn´t be done?

Since when have religions been beneficial to the world? History (any linked to religion) will speak of killing those who don´t adhere to the faith. Since when is that equal to promoting world peace?

Yes it is beneficial to have a spiritual compass, one that trully promoted world peace by its actions and doesn´t move in the energy of hypocrisy.
You and I could explain til the cows come home and this guy isn't going to see what we're saying. The beautiful mystery of spirituality is that it is wonderful and unique to each and every living being. The problem with religion is that it confines. (One cannot be both free AND confined, not as it applies here....) btw-love your posts herethumbs up

Confused?dunno


Eaglewoman: Since when have religions been beneficial to the world? History (any linked to religion) will speak of killing those who don´t adhere to the faith. Since when is that equal to promoting world peace?


Since they started spruiking about concepts like compassion,kindness,charity and the like.


Eaglewoman: Yes it is beneficial to have a spiritual compass, one that trully promoted world peace by its actions and doesn´t move in the energy of hypocrisy.


And that compass needs a standard,it needs a point of reference,For three billion people religion is the standard.Probably a good thing the moral codes they adhere to aren't as blood thirsty as you make out or no doubt the world would be worse of. beer

In response to: If there was no religion, would the world be at peace. ???


While I am an atheist and don't like religion, some people truly do need it in order to have a reason to be good. Many convicts that turn their life around credit religion. Everything is good in moderation.

This question is ignorant.

KJV James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.





When Webster collated the English language, 1828, his dictionary matched the KJV Bibles exactly. Language is word definition.

The earlier bibles, Wycliffe Bible 1362, Tyndale Bible 1522,
Coverdale Bible 1535, Great Bible 1539, Geneva Bible 1560,
Bishops Bible 1568, were not completed English.

KJV 2 Timothy 1:13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.





Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Greed and Sloth are the causes

of man's problems. KJV For all have sinned, and come short of the

glory of God;
