The dominance of Cod? Why do they restrict their lives in so many ways for a book that has been re written so many times, it should be called a fake?
Have you religious people ever stopped to think that MAYBE it was written as a joke to see how many of you would be silly enough to restrict yourselves from enjoying everything life has to offer like gambling, premarital sex, alcohol & clubbing? You only live once. May aswell enjoy it while you can.
Who's buying the beers?

Its ashame you were raised to concretize the metaphors in myth as History. You miss the big picture and so do most religios people. Its very hard to leave the Image of that was forced into ones phyche as a small child. If its isnt expanded and explained to be More than just history then all you have is bunch of rules. Then when your old enough you lose it all and search for answers in sense pleasures that are fleeting and empty.They might have a good purpose if YOU understood tantric hinduism. THose things might just be the path. But you were not informed of your own cultural symbology and you have been cheated . There is no point in looking in other areas.
You will find out the hardway. Most youth who only have been given a book of rules and no link to the Trancendent often do,

Who's Cod?? Never heard of a Cod, unless you are talking about a fish. If you think that enjoying life is gambling, premarital sex, alcohol and clubbing, what a sad life you live. I feel sorry for you. There is a lot more to life that all that junk!!

I do not wake up every morning and think to myself " Well, I can't have sex today, or drink, or go to the casino. What am I going to do?" When I wake up I think how can I please my God. You said you only live once. But my sights are not set on this world. My sights are set on the world after this. I dont see why I should waste my time on this world living in sin and be repaid with eternity in hell. I believe in the Bible and I would never think that it was all a big joke.
2 Corinthians 4:18:
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

You misspelled God, I am not amused.
If you find the Bible, followers of God, Christians or people with self control to be too uptight for your "free" lifestyle, then so be it.
Is it so disturbing to your little world that some people live just fine by controlling their food, alcohol, sex and mature behavior or do you REALLY need to write about it?
Too bad you can't just live your own life without such distractions from others. I am living around you and haven't been compelled to rant and rave about your lifestyle.
Oh well, live and let live.

Have you ever thought that maybe it works? Have you ever thought that maybe people don't cower before God out of a fear of hellfire, but because they've actually had a good experience with Him?
You don't know who we are or what brought us to the place we're at. You have no idea what you're talking about.

There is money and power is religion. It is not the followers that get the monay and power, but those whom have put themselves in control.
Religion is a mental slavery and slavery is against the constitution of most countries today.

your statement illustrates a general lack of knowledge of religeon. it's not confined to you. I include a huge number of so called practishioners. You can't possibly arrive at your conclusions with the knowledge you have. try to read what you condem and perhaps you will receive some enlightenment on the truth and mysteries connected to the worship of god. I'll pray for you. god bless you

God is not one to be Mocked..Beware.
God’s Word likens Armageddon to the Flood, to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and to the battle at Gibeon, where God rained down great blocks of ice upon his enemies. Armageddon will be the worst thing ever to hit this earth in the history of man. It will be marked by shocking surprise, consternation, fright, collapse of government, tremendous upheavals of earth, landslides, cloudbursts, overflowing flash-floods, rain of corrosive liquid fire and terror in the air, on land and in the sea. No wonder that “the slain of God shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground.”—Jer. 25:33
