Most people feel that they need a change in their lives and in the world as well. For them both are not separated issues because we live in the same world.

So what about the ideas, beliefs, and outlook for a world change?

We don't need religion. Take a good look at the history of this world and you'll see how many atrocities have been committed in "Gods" name. The Crusades, the Inquisition and 9/11 are several examples.

What do you go through when you face death?

I believe in reincarnation, so I do not fear death.

Sir Isaac Newton: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".

Do you not find this Law in your own lives? In modern times it is called "what goes around comes around".

There is a higher power.

There are no atheists in fox holes.

God bless the atheists. They are entitled to their own opinions.

I wouldn't want to be one of them.

You can't buy a ticket to Heaven, but it will never harm you to try by adhering to the 10 commandments and Pray.

For many uneducated people, religion can be factor to refrain them from doing bad things calling them sins
but uneducated men can be used by others to do bad things naming religion as well... People selling guns weapons can use them.

Maybe I am misinterpreting this, but why do so many "Christians" think non believers have no morals?
I don't believe in your God, or in any specific religion, but I do know the difference between right and wrong doh
If I was to believe in anything, it would be that I am a lot kinder and more of a gentleman than many of my "Christian" friendssigh

So are you saying that the educated religious believers can manipulate the uneducated ones and use God as a threatening fear factor tool ?

Personally I don't think 'the ten commandments' are really relevant in this day and age.
