It used to be that collectivists made us think that they were a god, but when that fell out of favor, then they made us think that they spoke for God, but when that fell out of favor, they said that there is no God, as they filled the void of God and savoir to mankind once again.
Yes, it was these same voices that put Christ on a cross.
Originally posted by wolfgang59Of course not, you want to believe I am wrong. Look for a definition that has to do with personal belief or conscience since these are based on one's worldview.
Every dictionary I can find seems to disagree with you.
All beliefs are based on unprovable assumptions.

Millions of young Americans are following a new, anti-religion. It has one Commandment: "Please thyself." It has no beliefs, because it is based on rejection of others' beliefs. Without beliefs, the brain contains a vacuum, which is filled by social and political opportunists who know an easy mark when they see one.

What religions do you think don't have beliefs that are self-serving?

Originally posted by sonshipHebrews 11:4 says that "By faith Abel offered up a more excellent sacrifice than Cain". So presumably, Cain's offering was not made "by faith". Some Bible commentary says that Cain's offering was the effort of "dead religion", but I'm not sure what this means.
The inventor of the world's first religion was Cain [b](Genesis 4:1-9)[/b]
