I think you can religiously do anything and it has nothing to do with God , Jesus , Holy spirit, bible like you can religiously brush your teeth. I stay away from being religious about stuff. I do love my Lord God and praise him every chance I get because the Holy Spirit moves me to . I read the bible so I know what Jesus wants of me and I know it is the word of my Father. but all religion should be wiped out and I will not belong to a church for this reason. there is always and human error in them and an agenda

The adoration of the Virgin Mary is just the Catholic Church's response to the goddesses in other religions. Since there's no reliable evidence that Jesus actually existed, he's just a myth. Thus the Virgin Mary is just a myth. Here's the long answer about the myth of Jesus, which is needed to cover all bases. All reliable evidence points to Jesus Christ being just a myth. There is no reliable evidence that Jesus even existed, and significant evidence that he didn't. The evidence is in the Bible, the other religions of the time, and the lack of writings about Jesus by historians of the time. The story of Jesus can be shown to be just a myth cobbled together out of prophesy and stories from the Old Testament and previous gods and myths -- created in the 40's and 50's by Paul of Tarsus (who exhibited evidence of epilepsy and had delusions of Christ talking to him), the other apostles, the unknown authors of the gospels in the 70's or later, and many other people. The reliable evidence for this is overwhelming. Paul and the other epistle writers don't know any biographical details of Jesus' life, or even the time of his earthly existence. They don't refer to Bethlehem, Nazareth, Galilee, Calvary or Golgotha — or any pilgrimages to what should have been holy sites of Jesus' life. They also don't mention any miracles that Jesus was supposed to have worked, his virgin birth, his trial, the empty tomb, his moral teachings. To them Jesus was largely a sky-god, who existed in the spiritual past. If Jesus had actually existed, Paul would have written about his life, disciples, and teachings. Paul did not write about any of this. Paul wrote (in Romans 16:25-26, Galatians 1:16) that he knew Jesus through revelation, which is another term for fantasy. We can also tell that people were accusing Paul of lying, because he attempted to defend himself in Romans 3:5-8. If Jesus had actually existed, the gospels would have been written in first person format. Instead, they were written in third person fiction format like a Harry Potter story, with Matthew and Luke extensively plagiarizing from Mark. If Jesus had actually existed, at least one of the approximately 30 local historians of the first century would have written about him. No historian of the first century (including Josephus) wrote about him or his disciples. Therefore Jesus didn't exist. The Jesus story also shows extensive similarities to other myths of the time (especially Dionysus, Mithra, and Horus). Some early Christians attributed this to Satan who went back in time and created the religions that "copied" Christianity. Jesus is worshiped on Sunday because he is a sun god, like Mithra, Zeus/Jupiter, Horus, Attis, Dionysus, Adonis, Tammuz, Hercules, Perseus, Bacchus, Apollo, Helios, and Sol Invictus -- whose birthdays are also on the old winter solstice of December 25, when the sun is “reborn.” There were more than a dozen other deities and saviors who were resurrected after violent deaths -- Mithra, Osiris/Serapis, Inanna/Ishtar, Horus, Perseus, Bacchus, Attis, Hermes, Adonis, Hercules/Heracles, Tammuz, Asclepius, and Prometheus. Christianity just told the story the best, and managed to get control of the government under Constantine. For much more evidence, see the links. -

Religion is on it's way out. I don't think the Bible has stood up the test of time as "The Word of God." When you get right down to it, it's nothing more than another version of "The Word of Man."

No. I don't even begin to assume that god exists, never mind how religion can be "restored and revealed".

God periodically sends messengers, but they are considered heretics by the establishment (like Jesus was for the Jews).

GOD does not create religions of any kind, man likes to think so, religion is man made

Until the New New Testament comes out, it is the same mythology recycled to control the masses.

But wait, there's more: the new and improved New New Testament. Less filling, no fat, zero effective carbs, and less fire and brimstone!

We are in the beginning stages of a huge revival. But I don't call the things of God a religion.

No i dont think god can, cause religion is man made.

And i dont think any one particular book can be to blame. Its really the people who decide to use it as a political device.
