GOD V RELIGION (402)
alabamabebe: God is love.
Religion should be a path to God, therefore to love.
Some religious paths seem to have lost the way to love, therefore to God.
It is not my place to judge the path anyone else takes. If the path you are on leads you to love, for God, for others, for yourself, then it is the right path for you. If it does not, that is for you to judge.

omega1036: Seems to me people take a pretty offhanded view of God,
they hear what they hear and that is enough, I mean they really dont look too deeply, I do look deeply into it, I dont take other peoples word for it, altho when I first started I did need some mentors and I was fortunate enough to have a really good mentor, she helped me to see alot of grace I had been missing.
I thought the bible was full of contradictions, hate ,anger, vengence and injustice just like many on the threads here do, but I looked into it for my self did some serious studying and, thinking and praying about what I was finding. Now I could not turn away because there is no where to turn, I have found the depths of hollowness and emptyness in the "wonderful" things the world has to offer , and the funny thing about it is, since I have learned what the sacrifice of Christ was about I enjoy life more fully I dont feel guilty , or hateful or afraid or vengeful I feel free !

Aries01: Hi... there has been a lot of threads here recently which have had the effect of blurring the line between God and Religion.. two different things... Religion is manmade.. and most obviously flawed to its core.. God (for those who believe, including myself) is above and beyond all that...
What are ur views?

That being said, I think the majority of organizations that call themselves churches are not worth a pimple on BnaturAl's butt.
(sorry Al, just trying to drive a point here)

Do you not think that god is in all of us....if we are his children then we are part of him and he is in all of us....

The water is water, the jug is a jug, and we...all of us are God. it is not something that is "in" us It is what we are.

We are not his children. we are his/her/it/us children, mother, father, brother, sister................

the problem is that there are so many religions claiming that their god is the ONLY god and that is where religion really hits the skids. they can't ALL be right. Assuming there is a god among all these religions then all but one are wrong. that means for thousands of years people have been worshipping a god that doesn't exist. I think i prefer to just get on and make my own way in life and make my own mistakes rather than follow some mystical higher being who no one's ever seen (well, no one i know at least). i believe that if by some chance there is anything after death then the good people of this world will benefit. not just those who go through life believing in some god. jmo

I can't figure out how to increase the size of this text. Please forgive my ignorance.
I don't believe in any gods, but religion is organized superstition. It has been organized into a book written between 950 B.C.E and 150 B.C. E.
There are no gods. But how can a peole separate themselves from being a god-believer, being spirititual, and not being religious? Your religion taught you about the god you believe in.
I don't judge anyone for their beliefs and feel fortunate that people may believe in that which they believe in, but as an atheist, and knowing a little about how and when the bilble was put together, I can't possibly believe in a god.
I don't down those of you you claim to believe in a god in your own way (without church) nor do I denounce or turn my back on you who think religion is necessarry.
I have no respect in the belief of any god, but I love and respect all of you who do, until you insult me. At that point, I will still accept you if you are not too proud to apologize, as I have often done myslef.
Love an peace to you all,
