The story of Heaven & Hell is there to put fear in you , so that you donate money, after all you have been asked to gather treasures in Heaven, go to church regularly, & listen to the crap the say. Be your own self & not the self of someone else. Jesus was a great man, but his teachings are censored by the church, to guide you in their path not his. darryl Wed, 24 Sep 2008 02:45:10 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/christians_147243 548198 Re: Parting of the Red Sea, True or False Shows the parting of the Red sea by Moses.

Conforming to these practices, are of no consequence & does not make you a better human being. On the contrary they prevent you from thinking for yourself. Sigmund Freud, the famous psychologist, was right in holding, "When a man is freed of religion, he has a better chance to live a normal & wholesome life". Galileo, the celebrated astronomer, said the same thing many centuries earlier. "I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason & intellect has intended us to forget their use". Abraham Lincoln put it succinctly: "When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my Religion." Albert Einstein: “The word God is for me nothing more than the expression & product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. HEAD LINES OF NEWS PAPERS Italy’s favorite saint Padre Pio faked his stigma, by using carbolic acid. Mother Teresa revealed in one of her letters, that for the last half-a-century of her life, she felt no presence of God whatsoever. She has always wondered when she saw poverty and suffering, why, if there is a God does he not intervene. “As for me, the silence & emptiness is so great that I look & do not see, listen & do not hear. The tongue moves (in prayer) but does not speak.” She compared her problems to hell & admitted that she had begun to doubt the existence of heaven & God. Sex abuse to cost church Rs 2,670 crores:- Is the largest deal of its kind, Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles agrees to compensate 500 victims of sex abuse for cases of the 1940s.This is only in 1 state of U.S.A. It has happened all over U.K., Australia, India, etc. Where is our money & donation going to? These priests should have been put in prison like any common man. Why have they to be sheltered by the church, by using bribery & corruption. Pak Canadian dad kills daughter for not wearing hijab: - Muhammad Parvez strangles his 16 years daughter Aqsa in their Toronto home. 200 lashes for gang rape victim: - 21-year-old to receive punishment for being alone with a man who was not her relative. The missing years of Jesus Christ: - Hollywood project highlights Jesus Christ’s travels & adventures through India. One of the apostles Thomas has also spent a good part of his life in India. Was he by any chance enticed by Jesus to do so? In India rituals reach the extent of woman committing Sati, the traditional Hindu practice of a widow immolating herself on her husband's funeral pyre. In the final analysis, everyone should make up his or her own religion, & not unquestionably conforming to the one he or she was born into. Since we do not know where we came from, belief in god as our creator is optional. But there is no justice for calling Him just or merciful, because there is little evidence of justice or mercy in our world. In earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones, he takes the lives of the good & the evil, believers & nonbelievers, old & young indiscriminately. All of which we describe as God. All we can do is to teach ourselves how to live in peace with ourselves & get the best out of the faculties we have, without harming others. What happens to us after we die should not be of much concern to us. There is no evidence whatsoever of believing in heaven, hell or re-incarnation. They are man made fantasies to beguile ourselves. I am not an atheist, but a man who has inner freedom; free from all religious dogmas, rituals, mind fragmented by fear & guilt, but one who is his own judge; to do what he thinks is right or wrong. If you do wrong your mind will play havoc on you, which is the same as hell on earth. Will God cast an atheist in hell if he has led a decent life? What about the doubting Thomas? The other day I was talking to a doctor from U.K., & out of the blues he tells me I hate Muslim patients. This only goes to show how all our minds function, with hatred for one another. It is up to you to change man’s way of thinking, be it a Muslim, Christian, Hindu, etc, by treating each other as brothers & sisters, otherwise the Third World War is close at hand, and that might probably be the destruction of the world. If you can enlighten me to change my way of thinking, your comments are welcome, because I am looking for the truth. darryl Sun, 20 Jul 2008 05:48:16 -0700 435437 Re: Are you a psychic?

An answer to ty. Every one feels that his religion is the only true religion, & he is prepared to die for it. The maximum amounts of wars fought during the centuries are based on religion. If you are a Christian, will you entertain a Muslim in your house? Every one despises the other. Even today wars are being fought. Terrorism is in the daily news. Will this ever stop. It will only stop when man realizes that religion is the cause of all evil. darryl Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:54:37 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/religion_is_the_biggest_problem_the_92544 416482 Re: Religion?

The noblest way to die is to donate your organs to someone who needs it, & the money saved for the funeral can be donated for a good cause. The organs that can be transplanted are the eyes, lungs, liver, pancreas, bone marrow, bone, cartilage & tendons, heart, kidneys, small intestines, fascia, skin, & veins. To do this contact the anatomy department of the nearest hospital. darryl Tue, 08 Jul 2008 10:04:07 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/religion_11703 416072 Re: Finger or eat a girl Do what comes spontaneous .
