| Religion: How Does It Interest You? by Megfrivolous(op): 3:17am On Mar 11, 2019 |
A kill switch, imagine, if the whole world where atheists, or believed in a particular arm of Christianity or per say where all Sunni Muslims, united with one common understanding and now believed to be brothers, think about the peace and coexistence, less bloodshed. Over 7.2 billion humans, over 15000 deities/gods, some still pondering the existence of a deity, some doubting the existence of a deity, many have come to believe but different ways of approach... "different names, Same god" no..." Different names, different gods"... Two key determinant factors that influences your believe: :Your background. :your cognition. Perhaps other factors might attribute to your religious believes, but have lesser quota. Every religion has believes that will sound demented or loony to any little child from another faction. : Christians: the theory of hell "but their God Almighty" is a loving compassionate .... : still wondering if that of the seven virgins are real @muslims. : atheists some factions believe their is no God .. But diablo lurks in the dark. : theism "their is but only one God " ..damn. Scientifically proven(through the wormhole) creatures with high cognitive abilities always crave for superior support or tend to grasp the superiority. Conclusion: : Religion the eye and backbone of human existence. : your religious view is your own opinion you can discuss it with people but not force it on them. : respect other peoples religion, they can kill for their God once they think it is the right thing. : Finally, religious leaders, both charlatans and candid once having knowledge that quite a large number of the Masses look up to them, should not uphold brazen conduct and celebrate mediocrity. |

Megfrivolous:from my own point of view there can't be God and that is the problem I have with deist if u claim a supreme being exist then u should begin to think y the supreme being created evil, why he allowed his creatures to have different religions knowing that it will lead to bloodshed and also the idea of a supreme being comes along with a religion so to me believing in a supreme being without religion is like confusion pls if u know any deist In the house mention them and let me see their own point of view |

Atewo400:I'm kinda new on this platform so not conversant with people that much. But you do believe the devil exists? |
| Re: Religion: How Does It Interest You? by LordReed(m): 10:44am On Mar 11, 2019 |
Megfrivolous:I don't agree with the bolded. I think the backbone of human existence is the collective drive towards a better future aka survival. At some point religion helped this drive, but it wants to stay in past while humanity needs/wants to move forward. If religion, culture or tradition is unwilling to change and adapt to the new realities, they should be discarded. |

Megfrivolous:hmm this is the reason why most good hearted people don't want to go into politics they think it is diabolical but come to think of it politicians are diabolical and jazz worked then there won't be record of assassination and our politicians won't go about with dozens of security or have u seen or heard a politician who was shot directly without bullet proof and the bullet didn't have any effect on him most people who are thinking there a powers pursing them are only killing themselves with their psychology or have u see any atheist complain of witchcraft attack when imaginary friends leave imaginary enemies follow |

Atewo400:Yes... a friend of mine ... Lemme put it this way due to his profound believes he never called it witchcraft, but he began to believe that there are forces beyond what is normal... I never took it serious, thought it was a small crisis in his own faith till things actually began going out of control |

Megfrivolous:Your thinking is powerful. Brain controls everything in the body. And if your thinking is weird, trust me your actions will be weird too. |

If the whole world believed in christianity or islam, we will still be living in the 16th century. The bible warned against acquisition of much knowledge. There cannot be development if people do not seek knowledge and it seems religion is against that |
| Re: Religion: How Does It Interest You? by Megfrivolous(op): 3:48pm On Mar 15, 2019 |
TVSA:Not all religions per say |
| Re: Religion: How Does It Interest You? by Megfrivolous(op): 3:51pm On Mar 15, 2019 |
bobowaja:Not minding the things we think and the actions we take What about the things we see?? |
| Re: Religion: How Does It Interest You? by bobowaja(m): 6:19am On Mar 16, 2019 |
Megfrivolous:Like hallucinating? |
| Re: Religion: How Does It Interest You? by sonmvayina(m): 1:02pm On Mar 16, 2019 |
The essence of spirituality is simply "being", while the essence of religion is "doing". I eventually came to realize that I don't have to "do" anything in order to acknowledge and accept my "beingness", and it was this discovery in which I realized that "I AM". |
| Re: Religion: How Does It Interest You? by Megfrivolous(op): 2:03pm On Mar 16, 2019 |
bobowaja:what of things seen by perhaps two people or more, can a group of people have the hallucination ?? |
| Re: Religion: How Does It Interest You? by bobowaja(m): 3:12pm On Mar 16, 2019 |
Megfrivolous:Can you share explanation to what you and your friends experienced? |

Megfrivolous:I still don't see the point. What are u driving at? Well about sharing personal experiences, u re not the first one to neither will you be the last. You can share all here to others to see. |
| Re: Religion: How Does It Interest You? by Megfrivolous(op): 9:28pm On Mar 16, 2019 |
bobowaja:you said it was hallucinations , then i asked can many people hallucinate same time? then you asked for an experience i shared one were once were i was not the only involved. |
| Re: Religion: How Does It Interest You? by Evangkatsoulis: 11:00pm On Mar 16, 2019 |
Megfrivolous:we would still find something to differentiate and discriminate ourselves. |
| Re: Religion: How Does It Interest You? by Megfrivolous(op): 11:22pm On Mar 16, 2019 |
Evangkatsoulis:the major are religion and race. and religion has done more damage |
| Re: Religion: How Does It Interest You? by bobowaja(m): 6:41am On Mar 17, 2019 |
Megfrivolous:As copied on google Mass hysteria In sociology and psychology, mass hysteria is a phenomenon that transmits collective illusions of threats, whether real or imaginary, through a population in society as a result of rumors and fear. Pls go and read more on that. There is no imaginary friends and enemies. It is just mind tricks. |
| Re: Religion: How Does It Interest You? by Megfrivolous(op): 9:38am On Mar 17, 2019 |
bobowaja:Read about they where never rumors nor fears, then perhaps you are trying to insinuate that 65 percent of peoples life (pagans, traditionalists, Christians and people being given solutions to there problems) are mass hysteria. |
