Freedom of or from Religion is a Right of free speech which requires free thought, not just spouting "the party line", and is the basis for the separation of church and state. Without this we would have a talibanic state, which is exactly what some want.
--One must think, who would want the continuation of the thing that has caused most of the worlds wars and strife? How often do leaders keep themselves in power with the tactic of fear, the perceived threat of attack, real or imaginary. Usually religion is a big part of this, if not the main part.
--We argue amongst ourselves oblivious to their existance while they watch, incite and orchestrate.

What is more likely, that we were created by an invisible, all powerful, omniscient, magical old man in the sky?
-or-
We were created through genetic engineering by technically advanced beings that are genetically like ourselves who came here from another world?
Which is the more logical?

As I stated in my header on this page, w.voy.com/40560/, I believe in God. But I don't believe what the Hebrews communicated with in the desert was 'God'. I don't believe what all these prophets spoke to was 'God'.

If one asks the question "well, who do you suppose created the E.T.s" the answer will eventually lead back to the great unknown or to 'GOD'.
I cannot explain my belief in God and I certainly cannot prove his/her existance. It's just something that I feel, I feel it mostly in nature. I suppose that's the supporters of the false god are so keen to destroy nature.

I believe all those who claim to have spoken to God or claims to speak to God and have God speak back to them are liars. No one speaks for God. God speaks for God.

P.S. When on the 'Stranger Than Paradise' more than two years ago, I let my password for that site slip when asking to be removed from that #@%*! page. Some little #@*^! took my password and started pretending to be me. That's the reason I'm so careful to let you know when and where and if it's truely me on the net.

This is the first time I've been on the net since posting Post 121A.

End post 122A.
