u changed alot man u changed ALOT i remember our small arguments heated arguments from the old site but from then it seems u changed not only on the approach on this kind of things but the consciousness and menatlity

yeah iv learnt a lot of new things. i just don't think religion is right, coz its a man made thing not a spiritual thing. so its a corrupt thing.

sweet man im gonna read up on that for sure.

Religion is the opium of the people - Karl Marx

The Garden of Love

I laid me down upon a bank,
Where Love lay sleeping;
I heard among the rushes dank
Weeping, weeping.

Then I went to the heath and the wild,
To the thistles and thorns of the waste;
And they told me how they were beguiled,
Driven out, and compelled to the chaste.

I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.

And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.

And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires.

i heard of this guy i mean the dude was a gnostic he showed the features of gnosticism way before the gnostic scrolls were found and he saw the reality behind the church and how the church puts itself way before God and makes itself more scared then God

yes i saw that very nice and he is the same person that i talked about up there

1. only those "new religious movements" are man made like scientology...theres over hundreds of these today
2. what then is a "spiritual thing"?

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

religion is nothing more than a bunch of traditions and rituals that have more to do with man than God. Im talking about things like the Catholic Church, in fact pretty much all religions like that. Its like the pharisee's they concentrate more on the traditions and laws than God this is what i see as religion, its more about the people in charge of this religion who use it to gain power to get their own way. I am a christian but i don't follow this kind of religious thing and a lot of christians preach that christianity is not supposed to be a religion. Im not talking about scientology which is pretty much the same. but i know a lot about churches like the catholic church who have all these little nit picky rules which have little to do with God. thats why i said it wasn't a spiritual thing.

Yo sodr2 if u want to understand something check my threads called Are Catholics Idol Worshippers? and The Affinity Between Christianity and Paganism u will understand me one some of us if u read them we are not against religion we are against religion as a institution of power also called institutionalized religion

BTW
Man Emseed, your posts were legendary in this thread. You are the epitome of a rational deist who captures my respect. I have respect for people who believe in god (rather I do or not), I just don't have respect for people who follow religion.

lmao thanks SI << official siwooot smiley
