Religion

Read my Page on Religion

The practice of religion fulfills us, confuses us and can lead to obscene acts of atrocity or charitable works beyond imagination.  There are so many mysteries to life mankind literally has no alternative to faith. Sadly faith can be used as tool by those who seek power over their fellow men and any man or woman who denies their gullibility makes them an easy mark for those who would take advantage of them.

In my page on religion I introduce what I think is a new approach to the subject and how reincarnation, once proven, will surely impact it.

Please try and stay on topic and refrain from quoting scripture, whatever the source, as I will delete  all diatribes about the  benefits of one faith over the other.  As a matter of record I am a Deist who has practiced many religions before arriving at my current belief. Because of the influences of cultures and teachings in our youth, I advise all people to listen to their internal skeptic until truly inspired by whatever faith touches you. Try to understand why any faith appeals to you and be skeptical of any personal rewards or gain that could come from sources other than God.

The one thing we all need to consider whether  you believe in a God, Gods or don't, is knowledge is what is and there is no requirement for it to serve any mans faith or lack of faith. It has and will change all faiths and non faiths as we discover new  information. If you believe in God all the knowledge we possess and will learn comes from God. If you are a non believer in God, it is that which we have not discovered and let it, along with the things we already know, be the guide for your moral and philosophical development. 

Once again, please try and stay on topic,  which is reincarnation and the role it will play on religion. That includes evidence against reincarnation other than scripture. I will engage in dialog  regarding the history of religion as it is pertinent to this discussion. An example is why were all the references and teachings regarding reincarnation dropped from the Christian faith?

Thank you and may God or whoever you desire bless you.
