OH LAWD...religion...
Disclaimer: ***** IMHO *****
All books of religion are nice stories created by man to guide man.
All religions are groups aligned to a certain religious book, or an interpretation of a religious book.
Some religions are harmless, and help man through life. Other religions are harmful, and advocate murder and other hideous things towards and against man.
FACT: Jehovah's Witness' "dis-communicate" there own that break their rules. In the writings of the JW they are murdering this person. Because the laws of the land do not allow actual murder, they have create dis-communication instead.
God: Is there a God? People say that's completely a matter of faith. But is it? I would define "God" as a being higher than us, that has created, or set the rules that resulted in our creation of us, and, in some way, controls our destiny.
The world is an amazing place. Evolution is amazing. The universe, and all that it holds, is truly amazing. A random act? Theoretically speaking, physics does not exist beyond that time of the singularity. This is obvious, as there was nothing before that time according to our frame of reference, which began with the big bang. BUT, logic tells us that something existed before hour zero of our universe. Someone, or something, directly, or indirectly, planted the seed of our universe. God?
I feel science is the only true religion. Science is the tool, path, and key to our creation, and, more so, our creator.
I appreciate constructive religions for what they are and do. They keep the mind of the simple man peaceful and protected from the truth of science and the fact that our creation and creator is out of our reach, and will be so for all of foreseeable time.
Ignorance is bliss.
