Or even that the ressurection occured on Easter Sunday? How do you know these dates are accurate and not, as many other religions will attest, simply Pagan holidays under a new name?

Is there any biblical proof of these being the actual dates? And if so, why aren't they in the bible?

Shiva is the silent witness, consciousness, compassion.
Shakti is the power to bring forth form, wisdom, the radiating energy of expression without number...
they are not seperate, but One.

We live in the illusion of seperation here. How has this effected your relationships, your journey, your path?

Are you healed? Are you healing? How have you gotten there?

Some time ago, I went to a meeting attended by rich professionals for the cause of elephants in captivity. Thousands of dollars was raised for this cause. I kept thinking about how this money could be used for the human condition. What is best for society? If you believe in God, what would you think God would want you to do with your money?

Christians, almost all of them, rely upon a book to tell them their truths.

And what are those truths? That Humanity is flawed, wicked, and unworthy of an honourable fate unless they appease the deity who put them in that position.

And how do they appease this god? By piously persecuting all who disagree with their truths.

Historically, this has included the use of gruesome torture and execution. More recently, it has wound down (thanks to secularism) to the point where we are talking about the denial of equality for others who disagree with the christian truths.

They don't execute heretics anymore. They create legislation to make life harder for them and more favourable for christians.

Pope Benedict Ratzinger...... Here is my opinion.... They want to go back to the latin services as they don't want people to read scriptures or interpret them..because the priests don't want people to know the truth. Benedict is a great name for the guy as he is a trader of the true Christian faith, as he trades truth for deception. For all Catholic's that don't read scriptures, I feel sorry for u, as u can't think for yourselves and let other's dictate and interpret for u. Catholic priests are control freaks. What's your opinion?

people that are never exposed to jesus are just lost. what about people living in oppression (like north koreans), where they and their family would be killed if they thought about anyone other than they're dictator. they are completely cut off from the rest of the world and missionaries couldn't get in there if they wanted to. so are the north koreans just going to be tortured in their earthly lives and then tortured in eternity because they don't know jesus?

A lot of people are hurting for reason or another. Doesn't matter your beliefs, things sometimes just hurts and that really sucks.

I know I've had my share of hurts. Despite what you rbeliefs, I really do wish that all of your hurts can be wiped away. Then again, I suppose it is the hurt that shapes our characters and makes us stronger or breaks us...

Kind of like working out. The pain in the muscle hurts but after awhile it gets big and strong. So it is the same I think with life and it's hurts.

It may not seem so with a fresh hurt but think about the last time you were hurt. Think about what you learned from that experience. Did you not grow from it?


Without the hurt how can we grow?

How can we progress?

Lets say your child got an infection of some kind. What are you going to do. Are you going to pray to God and hope that God cures your childs infection, or are you going to go to a hospital and have them give your child antibiotics which were developed using the scientific process. Who's hands would you put your child in, Religion or science????

Is there a point? Surely he'd get bored sooner or later, seeing as everything is pre-written. Watching man go about his daily life must be like watching a movie you've seen 10 million times before only.. um more often.

can I be a good guy without worrying about religion's "good vs. evil" all the time?

no matter how hard I try, and even as a child - I can't seem to reduce the infinite invisible to a finite entity.


we are all "audaces solum" (or boldly alone); but can we be OK without any God in our lives? The atheists I've met seem so unhappy, is there any alternative to this?


I'm torn, ALL friendly input welcome.

William Blake (1757-1827) "abhorred slavery and believed in racial and sexual equality." "He rejected all forms of imposed authority."

' Prisons are built with stones of Law,
Brothels with bricks of Religion and
As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys."

Blake said he had to create a System, or be enslav'd by another Man's."

One of Blake's strongest objections to orthodox Christianity is that he felt it encouraged the suppression of natural desires and discouraged earthly joy.

He did not hold with the doctrine of God as a Lord, an entity separate from and superior to mankind. This is very much in line with his belief in liberty and equality in society and between the sexes.

Yes cause he says that the only church with direct historical links to the original apostles is the Catholic church and that Jesus only founded one church. The torch cannot be passed outside the catholic church so for 500 year or so protestants have been going to Hell or staying in limbo with no ticket to heaven.
