INTERESTING FACTS!!!
All questions
were once spiritual. Since
the beginning of time
spirituality and religion
have been called on to fill
in the gaps that science
did not understand. The
rising and setting of the
sun was once attributed
to Helios and a flaming
chariot. Earthquakes and
tidal waves were the
wrath of Poseidon.
Science has now proven
those gods to be false
idols. Soon all gods will be
proven to be false idols.
Science has now provided
answers to almost every
question man can ask.
There are only a few
questions left and they are
the esoteric ones. Where
do we come from What
are we doing here? What
is the meaning of life and
the universe? ”

“Faith does not protect
you. Medicine and
airbags... Those are the
things that protect you.
God does not protect you.
Intelligence protects you.
Enlightenment. Put your
faith in something with
tangible results. How long
has it been since someone
walked on water? Modern
miracles belong to
science.. Computers,
vaccines, space stations...
Even the devine miracle of
creation. Matter from
nothing... In a lab. Who
needs God? No! Science is
God!”

“Hardly. Faith is universal.
Our specific methods for
understanding it are
arbitrary. Some of us
pray to Jesus, some us go
to Mecca, some of us
study subatomic particles.
In the end we are all just
searching for truth, that
which is greater than
ourselves.”

“Each of us is now
electronically connected to
the globe, and yet we feel
utterly alone.”

“the most dangerous
enemy is that which no
one fears!”
Re: Interesting Facts!!!! by majour(m): 10:25pm On May 29, 2012
“Medicine, electronic
communications, space
travel, genetic
manipulation . . . these are
the miracles about which
we now tell our children.
These are the miracles we
herald as proof that
science will bring us the
answers. The ancient
stories of immaculate
conceptions, burning
bushes, and parting seas
are no longer relevant.
God has become
obsolete. Science has won
the battle.”

We can look at it this way: spirituality and science offer two different/separate perceptions on reality.

The Bible did not arrive
by fax from heaven…The
Bible is the product of
man, my dear. Not of
God. The Bible did not fall
magically from the
clouds. Man created it as
a historical record of
tumultuous times, and it
has evolved through
countless translations,
additions, and revisions.
History has never had a
definitive version of the
book.

Nothing in Christianity is
original. The pre-Christian
God Mithras - called the
Son of God and the Light
of the World - was born
on December 25, died
was buried in a rock
tomb, and then
resurrected in three days.
By the way, December
25 is also the birthday or
Osiris, Adonis, and
Dionysus. The newborn
Krishna was presented
with gold, frankincense,
and myrrh. Even
Christianity's weekly holy
day was stolen from the
pagans.

Originally Christianity
honored the Jewish
Sabbath of Saturday, but
Constantine shifted it to
coincide with the pagan's
veneration day of the
sun. To this day, most
churchgoers attend
services on Sunday
morning with no idea
that they are there on
account of the pagan sun
god's weekly tribute -
Sunday.

Jesus as a married man
makes infinitely more
sense than our standard
biblical view of Jesus as a
bachelor…Because Jesus
was a Jew…the social
decorum during that time
virtually forbid a Jewish
man to be unmarried.
According to Jewish
custom, celibacy was
condemned, and the
obligation for a Jewish
father was to find a
suitable wife for his son.
If Jesus were not
married, at least one of
the Bible's gospels would
have mentioned it and
offered some explanation
for His unnatural state of
bachelorhood.

Historically, intercourse
was the act through
which male and female
experienced God...
Physical union with the
female remained the sole
means through which
man could become
spiritually complete and
ultimately achieve gnosis
-- knowledge of the
divine.
Re: Interesting Facts!!!! by majour(m): 12:43am On May 30, 2012
“Whether or not you
believe in God, you must
believe this: when we as a
species abandon our trust
in a power greater than
us, we abandon our
sense of accountability.
Faiths … all faiths … are
admonitions that there is
something we cannot
understand, something to
which we are
accountable. With faith we
are accountable to each
other, to ourselves, and to
a higher truth. Religion is
flawed, but only because
man is flawed. The
church consists of a
brotherhood of imperfect,
simple souls wanting only
to be a voice of
compassion in a world
spinning out of control.”

“Nothing captures human
interest more than human
tragedy.”

“You are confused
because the Bible
describes God as an
omnipotent and
benevolent deity…
Omnipotent-benevolent
simply means that God is
all-powerful and well-
meaning.”
I understand the concept.
It’s just…there seems to
be a contradiction.”
Yes. The contradiction is
pain. Man’s starvation,
war, sickness…”
