Religion

[skyhuck]

IMO,Religion is about WANTING a happy ending,sadly just because you want something to be true it does not make it TRUE.

I believe the world would be a far richer place, if which ever religious persuasion someone adopts;

it is one made out of the egotistical honesty and freedom which can only be made whilst as an adult,

and not due to family or societies doctrination/brainwashing of the purity and weakness of the childish mind. :wave:

I was a confirmed Christian at 12, far too young to know jack about the world imo. Now I have no religious leanings what-so-ever. My faith has taken a hammering, my trust in humanity, a bigger hammering. I tried to bring my kids up by the 10 commandments, but I got to about the fifth one and couldnt remember the rest!! So the answer nowadays is a definite NO. But each to their own, whatever their persuasion.

[David Humphries]

As an observation, I for one can see great merit in the continued attendances at Mosques, Temples and Sinagogues and the way this has a possitive effect in terms of the community spirit that these associated reigions posses.

As opposed to the state of the C O E, which continues to have diminishing figures for church attendance.

Rightly or not, this has a serious affect on us all as a community, as we do not know our neighbours.

IMO, this is at the very root of all that is wrong in society today.

Living in one tiny corner of a planet, in one tiny corner of of our solar system, which resides in one tiny corner of the much larger cosmos and living for merest fraction of time, I think it would be absurdly hubristic of me to suggest that I know the true nature and purpose of everything.
