Based on what? I never understood why and how people can dismiss religion/bible but still believe in a God. That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
All one has to do is accept that the Bible was edited by the Romans circa 70AD. Kinda like if the Constitution and Bill of Rights were allowed to be edited by the British.
Religion yes. Belief, not really imo.
I agree with you. But it is always going to be human nature to believe in a higher power. If everyone kept open minded instead of believing that their proposed way is the only right way we would be in a better place. Why do people always have to push their religion onto to others? Why can't they just take no for an answer and have a laugh that they are going to heaven and I'm going to hell.
how can you say it wasnt belief that fueled all that?
i know you think your the only one that has done any sort of spiritual searching or that has had any experience of religion and differing beliefs but i think you'll find pretty much everyone here has walked their own paths including their own experiences on why they feel how they feel
when people believe they have a personal conversation with god then you have a very dangerous situation as when they look into themselves for guidance from god any answer that they come up with is by definition "ordained by god"...curious to know what is wrong with believing in something? Pretty simple question
...I was asking a clarifying question. You owned the judgment. And, I don't claim anything. Like the other people in here I am posting my experience with the matters being discussed. What's up man? Just walking my own path. Is it only the atheists in here that can reply en mass with some fire?
...well duh, so in return we'll sling sht? That's no solution.
you asked the question dont you like the answer? pretty simple question
your coming across as a holier than thou spiritualist walk your path all you want but dont pretend your the only one walking
