All About RELIGION Here

[Hellblazer 2.1]

When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!

you don't need a religion to teach you what is right or wrong.

In the bible, Its GOD's word that will teach us what is right or wrong.
And that words will be placed in our hearts.

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Psalms 119:11

Peace!

good and bad may have come from religion, but it is not dependent on it.

And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.

I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

Eclesiastes 3:16-17

Peace!

Actually bai ... I dont have respect to the CHURCH anymore but I do respect my RELIGION and ACKNOWLEDGE my God . Stuff like :

- Man made rules and commandments
- Corruption
- Money making schemes
- Etc

But despite all these , I try not to associate my beliefs practiced by the thousands sa negative side .

GOOD point that Man made rules and commandments should not earn respect or should not be welcomed.

So do you believe that there are GOD made rules and commandments?

do you believe that the rules and commandments in the bible is man made?

Peace!

Religion is just a label..whether you are a christian, muslim, hindu etc. But REAL RELIGION MEANS KNOWING YOUR REAL IDENTITY, ESSENCE, POSITION AND ROLE/FUNCTION IN LIFE.

"...What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving? Away from all suns? Are we not plunging continually? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there still any up or down..."


"Whither is God?..."


"Do we hear nothing as yet of the noise of the gravediggers who are burying God? Do we smell nothing as yet of the divine decomposition? Gods, too, decompose. God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. "





Nietzsche, The Madman in The Gay Science, trans. Walter Kaufmann

24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Acts 17:24-28

We can't do nothing towards GOD in order to add Him or eliminate HIM.
If we believe or not , He still exist and still be GOD.
This life is a journey we're just pilgrims, and in the END it REALLY MATTERS!

GOD allow us to do what we want, but when a man found GOD its HIS must be done.

35 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
36 To subvert a man in his cause, the LORD approveth not.
Lamentations 3:35-36

All God want us to do is to follow HIM and Thank HIM because He love us.

Peace!

People who say God is dead are dead. Sorry. Peace!
