    Is it all a scam?

    Personally I think the bible is the story of a woman that went sleeping around before her wedding day, then made up a story that went a little bit too far...

    Bit harsh, more to the bible than the Virgin Mary.

    I personally think the bible was written by someone with good intentions. Scaring the population into being generally nice to each other. Maybe we are due another one..., lol

    People wrote books so they obviously must be believed as real.

    Just like Roger Hargreaves wrote the Mr Men books and Roald Dahl gave us the BFG.

    All religions are lies and fairytales cooked up by the rich and powerful hundreds / thousands of years ago to keep their populations under control when the ability to read and write and be educated was only for the rich and powerful. The fact that people today are prepared to run their lives and in some extreme cases give their lives and take other people's lives because of basically the teachings of 3 comic books from at least a thousand years ago shows how gullible and stupid the human race can be.
    Anybody who believes the clap trap spouted by the clergy of any religion should give their heads a shake and definitely be banned from public office.
    If you don't hear from me again all the above is wrong and I've just been struck by a lightening bolt:D:D

    A reply from another forum I visit when I made the point " who created God " .




    Who created God? The Christian answer to this is no one because He is the infinite GOD (the alpha and the omega), He is a transcendent GOD, He created matter, time, space and energy and all the laws of nature in the universe, therefore he is not bound by these laws of nature, He is outside of matter, time, space and energy as we know it. Yes, you can say that this in the realm of the supernatural (metaphysics) and cannot be proven scientifically unless you see God himself, but it is basically no different from the hypotheses of evolutionists (i.e. big bang, multiverse, etc.) on the origins of the universe.

    A rather far out view if you ask me but that's religion for you , it has an answer for everything as long as you believe .

    Christianity;

    The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

    For those who believe it's all very real, for those who don't it's a crock of shi*. A lot of people, including me, are somewhere in between.

    It's very difficult, if not impossible, to prove either way.

    About as valid as The Silmarilion or Asgard or any other mythology.
    The world was created by physics.

    Just created to explain things they didn’t understand in the past .
    Science has explained these things now so no need for a made up scapegoat.

    The fact religion is used as an excuse to make people suffer by people who believe is proof enough for me that it's hog wash.

    Without a doubt religion is at the root of far too many problems around the world. If any of it is true then it has a lot to answer for.

    I'm not religious, but I try & respect people that are, unless their religion is used to oppress others, which in many cases is the case. Many leaders (Trump included, to bring some sadly lacking politics to this thread), just use it as a stepping stone to suppress minorities, Modi in India is another one. Most followers of faiths find comfort from it & are peaceful people.

    He scored winning goals against Sheffield Wednesday for one.
    I'm also prepared to believe in Ronnie because I actually saw him.
