Where does religion come from?
04 Jul '13 08:28Originally posted by caissad4I never claimed to be no longer in need of learning. But do you have any learning that I need to learn? Just remember I am....
Well my dear Instructor, you have much to learn.😀

Dasa thinks his religion is the THE religion.
RJHinds thinks his religion is THE religion.
One or both are certainly wrong.

That is fine with me if you will just stop posting here and mind your own business.

Why dont you stop!
I reckon Cassaids comments are way better than yours.
And Dasa, any religion that requires you to be so serious is not worth it.
I'm serious about being not serious 😉

Some people here do not wish me to stop, maybe it is because I am doing some good.

First lesson Instructor. It is she. My name is Angela.
Second lesson : No one should stop posting here unless the individual chooses to stop. No one.
It's kind of an American thing. Do you understand ?

It seems that religion comes from hope fueled by fear.
So many different beliefs, so much hope, so much fear.
09 Jul '13 11:381 editOriginally posted by RJHindsAh yes, don't fear those muslim extremists forcing you to make a choice between conversion and death. Don't fear those influenza viruses that have killed in the millions. Don't fear religious wars, don't fear thugs who take over whole countries. All of that angst is not worthy of attention compared to the mansion in heaven.

You talk about 50,000 years ago a son died, and lightening, and how people saw floods and earthquakes, etc. etc. etc. In all this you see a pattern. And you put forth your theory as to the meaning of the pattern you think you see.
One thought, our intelligence enables us to see patterns in randomness when in fact nothing is there. Chimps, for instance, cannot imagine patterns embedded in randomness because they have no sense of mind, they cannot visualize internally the idea there might be an active mind behind everything they cannot understand. Their brains are just not sophisticate gious feelings, they can finally grow up and be adults which as a race, we are not even close.
