say gobbledy kook stuff like this?
God does not think the way man thinks. we have brains that hold limited understanding of universal principles. The event calls for a much deeper manner of understanding the message
(if a christian wrote this, how then can they understand this?)
favorite all time answer: "god, is god"
can you explain your religion without saying it's unexplainable and unattainable to the ignorant heathen?

Can you really explain the joy of sex to someone who's never had any? Well, then, is it real?

ok, here goes
Put bloody simply, my faith is based on the principle that man is just a part of nature, not the other way around. I believe each person is responsible for their own actions and relationship with how they percieve the divine to manifest.
Personally i believe that the divine may be expressed as somewhat anthropomorphic representations of the Female engery in the universe which I call "Goddesses" and the corresponding male energy which I call "Gods". I also believe that certain non-physical representatins of plants, animals, geological and meterological phenomena etc exist which I call "Spirits". It is my belief that one may interact with these goddesses, gods and spirits in an attempt to further understand one's place in the world and the larger universe beyond.
and if you don`t understand that *shrugs* sorry mate.I tried.

Yes. Religion is tradition.
I respect my religion, first, as a tradition.
I respect non-religious traditions too.
Flying a flag properly, for example, is a tradition.
Flying it at half mast when dignitaries die is a tradition too.
Religion is like training wheels on a bicycle.
At times very important, and people have difficulty connecting with God sometimes, without them (religions).

I cannot explain it. I can only introduce it. If the person receives it then the creator will explain it through his servants. He will also grant right hearted ones the ability to understand it. It through no words of mine that God reveals himself. It is through His will that he reveals himself.
Mark 4:10 - 12
==> 10) When he {Jesus} was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables. 11) He told them, "The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables 12) so that,
" 'they may be ever seeing but never perceiving,
and ever hearing but never understanding;
otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace
1 Cor .14:33
It is man who confuses man. I do not have a religion, I have belief in God.

Christians are instructed to always be ready to give an answer for the hope that they have. Some are more ready than others.
If you are really seeking answers from them then ask them to direct you to someone else who can help you better than they currently can. They will be happy to help you out.
Hope that helps.

I've found that most people can't explain their religion, some just make up things as they go along.
