You are quite on cue with this one. I honestly feel God is apart and has nothing to do with modern day religions. The pains religion (esp the abrahamic faiths) has caused humanity can not be likened as the image of a God that all loving,all knowing and all seeing. Religion is an illusion to fill spaces human felt shouldn't go unexplained. I am 100% sure that none of the World religions portray a true path to the Universe Creator

That is interesting, isn't it? If the world religions do not reflect the characteristics of God, whose characteristics are they reflecting?

Good evening,

I really would love to know what you mean by religion?

Religon is personal relationship with God and fellow men.it cant be saperated?

tobechi20: Religon is personal relationship with God and fellow men.it cant be saperated?

Which god?.
Is it possible to have a personal relationship with someone or entity that is not physical? C'mon lets cut the bullcrap and be true to our
selves. It is hard enough having personal relationships with our partners, relatives, neighbors, other clans, tribes,other nationals. How realistic is it to have the so-called personal relationship with an entity, if at it exists,that does not occupy any kind of physical space that we can reach out and touch?
This idea of personal relationship with god is like one of those childhood fantasies and role playing, whereby we make up a perfect imaginary friend who just plays whatever role we want him/her to play.
Every child does that.
