Hi all, This is not a confrontational thread but my confusion over the meaning of religion other than simple and multiple belief systems across time and geography. Without doing a degree in theology all religions all have different attributes.But there is a recurring delineation. 1/ Belief in a deity " supreme being" Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Mormans, Sikh and others or if Roman,Greek or Egyptian ancient history , many other purpose dedicated gods ie. Bill sh*tten the latter day god of IR. ( hehehe) 2/Then there all the many subsets of the above, each with permeatations for the greater good. 3/ The prophets and sales side of the business. JC , Mohammed,Jehova, Isaiah,etc selling the UNITY message 4/ They all wrote books and instruction manuals, Bible,Torah. Koran. Watch Tower etc, etc ( non exclusionary) 5/ By now the message is all diluted and many seeking differing outcomes ?Reverse funnel and the crap is getting channeled our way. 6/ Original and inherent goodness is picked to bits Not for that purpose of "one world" but to gain territorial and moral advantage by any means possible, Vatican, IS , Sikhs& Tamils and the list goes on. IMO religion is literally being hijacked and not for good,I just make a simple point. That is to be sure what you believe in. I'm just saying, I'm watching yet another recycling of history, under which God? They can't all be right? Surely? Treat others as you would be treated.Not that hard.Job done. or is it ? Answers ? I find the global personnae is leaderless. There is little genuine concensus on anything. Just sayin. Remain perplexed by it all like me? Just keep killing is not a cure.Never was
