Is Religion A Celestial Scam by Immorttal: 9:06am On Mar 05, 2016
Something is not right somewhere, how can Jesus,Budha,Mohammed,krishna etc exist in different denominations of each religion as their figure heads?? More so the bible,quaran,and other religious books.Is this a misdirection to deviate us from our true contribution to the universe, what EXACTLY do we represent in the universe. The real truth are hidden from the graps of humanity. Am a Christian,i believe i have a maker who created me in the physical form,but i believe am a powerful spirit who does not die nor have such things as impossibility as in the physical form.God ,the light is in our minds,am not an atheist. But the atheist who shun religion might be ahead of us somehow as religion have contributed more decimation of humans more than anything else.
Death is simply the end of our physical body,we continue to exist on the plane which is our true home and very very ultra real than the life we have now.I still cherished the physical body,but its nowhere near the spirit where you feel in control and nothing is impossible.
Any comments and contributions is appreciated as is good to think outside the box once in a while.

There is nothing celestial about religions. Its all scams and programmed matrix. The most confusing of them all, being what God really means. Some religions are smarter than others, and the smarter your religion is, the smarter your awareness becomes, until such a time you evolve out of the matrix of the programming.

Religion is older than human existence,is a spiritual food to our spirit man.God created man to live and multiply the earth,Gen 1:28. This will explain why the earth is the only place where humans life can exist.as for the bible,it swrves as a manual or direction to our machine(our life)..

Yes, religion is. But the bible isn't. Only that atheist would never agree that the bible isn't a scam... Just that reading the bible requires a whole lots of effort. But it worth the read.

Some are turning atheist simply because of the fraud that's happening in the church. And the false teachings of the pastors.

Deuteronomy 25:11-12
If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.

I know you'll say it's OLD TESTAMENT. Like it was a different God that wrote that. grin

i'm a little bit skeptic about the bible,(i read it a lot) the original laws and commandments incured by God was rendered useless and ineffective by Jesus.What is really happening? There is more to this religion shit than meet the eye,is a scam to deviate us from our true purpose in this universe.

You are wrong I'll never say that! All scripture is beneficial 2tim 3: 16 & 17. And to this example. Isn't that a good provision? Since the private part is a sensitive area, holding that area shows nothing other than trying to kill the man in favour of her husband. To me I don't see anything silly in this arrangement, it's even a way to avoid taking law into ones hand. No wonder judges and older men were chosen among them for settling disputes.

Ok, what about this?

Deut. 22:28-29
If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay her father fifty shekels[a] of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives

and this
Exodus 21:20-21
If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.

uncle, to be honest with you. I have an answer for this one too. But, wait, how about the first one you asked, does that explanation solved anything?

Wrong. Religion can not be older than its inventor. Man created religion, so there is no way religion can be older than man. And I disagree that the story in the Bible about creation is sacrosant, the story of creation, according to the bible can not be true, the reason is simple. You cant talk beings into creation. creation is a cosmic soup.

I have read the bible thoroughly and it is a great history book to show the naivety of the early ancestors. It has no impact on how lives now except for infusion of morality.

No, it doesn't. Maybe cut off your wife's hand if she comes to defend you against an intruder. Then, I'll take you serious.

Its all in the subconscious mind. When people say the had encounter and shouted 'Jesus' and they were free, my question is always; "Have you ever tried shouting your name?" We create our realities.

The answer is in the name. Bible means compilation of books. Or compendium of stories. Each book in the bible has its author and was compiled together by early governors and politicians including King James of England.

shocking! really? I must confess, am hearing this for the first time. Well, check Ephesians 4: 28; proverbs 21: 5. Check those accounts and see if it doesn't have impact. Just be sincere, sir.

which is better, to have the man killed and set up a murder case? And to set up a law that will avoid shedding of blood? Please, sir, answer.
And to your question, i've not been shot with a ball. Even if I were ever shot, there is a stack difference. The woman will, with force hold it, you know, and thereby weaken the man's power and thus give her husband upper hand.

man cannot create what he is not cognizant of.Religion is spiritual and eternal,starting from the holy angels who sings praises and worship in heaven to man who perform the same rites to our maker.Religion and meditation awakens one's spirituality and its taught rather than learnt out of nowhere.

Your assertion is a cocktales of falsehood that most of us are spoonfed from infancy. I was told the same then, but some of us have chosen to reason through facts, but many of you are still proselytizing the wads of the matrix. Religion was created as a weapon of control to keep the masses in check. Promising them sugarcandy living at the end of mortal life if they live "good" lives and promotes the "hell burning" penalties for those who disobey. But can we be adults about asking if Fire can actually burn a spirit, cos we will be spirits, according to the religions when we die. And we cant go to hell while alive. Religion just another house of cards.
