Ok, Light, I undestand you would scrap all religions, if you could. Your stance on that part has been clear since you started here. And I can't say I disagree.

But I just have one question for you; do you suggest getting rid of the bible and the god-belief that is usually the major, and essential, component of religion, too?

If not...well... ...it's a duck!

Now you are getting the Message clearly. The object of the exercise is for people to get along together as friends and not to deal in sectarian disputes which are TOTALLY meaningless.

All people share the same belief, in one God. This can be proved scientifically and therefore does NOT need any bible, it simply requires science.

Otherwise we start adding Torah's and Quran's and as much biblical past history as anyone can stomach.

To develop a modern belief system requires science and friendship, not mumo-jumbo and evil under-handed goings on.

You don't need scripture to run a ship at sea, you just need good organisation. You also have no need of fiddlers on rooves, temptations and devils, a host of priests and rabbis.

All of this is just complete nonsense.

As it is very easy to believe in God through science then there is ABSOLUTELY no need WHATSOEVER of religion and religious obervances that treat people with hypocrisy.

The infamous third party snooper of Snoopy fame.

Take a good look at how we are (not) running the planet properly and then you may begin to see an entirely different and much more common-sense approach to living.

It is not about making lots of money, it is about living nicely for as long as possible.

Something which the Religious/Civilian population does not seem to comprehend at all.

Anyone who deals in evil double-dealing cannot be righteous at the same time.

um...sorry, this just jumped right out at me and caught me eye for some reason.

Probably used to be a Cinema Usher in a former life.

House of Usher, maybe?

Jeez, they never jump out at me.

But, I live in hope.

I'm not getting the message clearly at all- just one part of it, hence the question I asked. And, like I said, it's not just now that I've understood the part about your wanting to scrap religion. That's been obvious from the start. And yeah, it'd be great, if we could all just get along on this planet.

But here's where the problem lies. Not all people share the same belief in one god at all. You don't seem to comprehend that I, like most people on these particular boards(and something like 15-20% of the world's population), do not believe any god(s) exist(s). And despite your claims, the existence of a god, any god, cannot be proven scientifically- yet.

Ah, so you would scrap all religions, but create your own- and claim it's not a religion? After all, religions are just belief systems.

Ummm...yeah.

Heh, you said it, not me!

As far as I'm concerned, there's absolutely no need of a god-belief, let alone the religion that goes with it.

Well, I have no idea what this is supposed to mean, but now, the only thing that comes into my mind is...

I took that good look years ago, and I agree.

Do you mean all religious people and all civilians don't seem to comprehend? If you do, you are making a very broad generalisation, there. One that is not true.

Well, I would think that much is obvious.

Why does anyone go on bended knee to kiss a hole in the ground of the Holy Land? Is it because he makes a nice living from it?

Is this the REAL Purpose of the people living here?

Is this the way in which YOU wish to be treated?

Is this behaviour nORmal?

OR is there "something" else?

mongrel

Well, it's been "interesting" talking with you, Light, but I think I've had enough of asking questions and getting no answers in your replies- in fact, your replies do nothing but raise more questions, to which you reply with more non-answers which raise more questions...

Later.

Such is the nature of "theology". When one already is in possession of the fact what remains for theology to do?

Organise the planet and its people properly to prevent us all from living on a war-torn, crime-ridden planet.

Wasting time on theology is NOT helping anyone.

It is rather futile to try to "raise the awareness" of a known fact.

A stone is a stone, end of story.
