It helped them "explain" stuff. Like how did man come to be? Like how come some people died when sick or injured and some did not. So we got the immaculate conception. And miracles.

And religion thus developed.

But how do we explain the various different "GODS"? Is there one GOD or many? Who is right? How do we explain the scientific notion that man evolved?

Still many conflicting mysteries to categorically say what's what...

It's funny when people relate communism and atheism - one is a political system and the the other is a lack of belief in a deity. The two have nothing to do with each other. Relating the two is a purely American '50s scare tactic.

It's about what YOU choose to believe. No one can force you to believe in anything, at least in a democratic state like ours. To me, any other God other than Jesus Christ is pagen, but that is MY belief. Other people can choose to believe otherwise. Again, it all comes down to FREE WILL of an individual.

In what Religion is Jesus Christ GOD? I underlined the wording you used in the quote above. I thought all christian religions GOD was GOD, and Jesus was the son of GOD.

I am referring to the new testiment, where the father, the son (Jesus Christ) and the holy spirit are one, GOD. I'm speaking from a Catholic perspective.

Thank you Dean for being the voice of reason, and not painting all people with faith and religion as freaks or horrible people, like some are doing on this forum.

Edwin, your character really shows in the above quote.....you keep bringing up the word horrible.....no one said that those espouse a faith are horrible, only that some have committed horrible acts in the name of religion.

You are starting to sound like Anne Coulter or Fat Limbaugh in that if a mistruth is repeated often enough it will be believed....even when the evidence to refute the allegation is right in front of your face.

Miz P, the word horrible was used, I am not lying. Not surprisingly, one of the threads where it was used has dissapeared (apology) and now I cannot back this up with evidence. You and several others paint us all as freaks (and yes, you have done so in past discussions with me). Yet, you throw a tantrum when someone says "bloody useless women" or "bitch" or "don't get your panties in a knot" in whatever manner. So this is less acceptable then painting people with faith as negative? We all get that I have faith and you don't. That is our fundemental freedom of choice. And if you care to further insult me, you need to do a better job than some woman that no one cares about or some washed up late night talk dude.
