The word God comes from a Babylonian idol for good luck.
The Creator's name is Yahveh, and when He came to Earth as a Man via Marry, He became known as YahvehShua, meaning Yahveh Saves.
There is only One Elohim, He as 3 aspects to His Being.
He is Creator, Spirit (His Word) and He came and proved His True Intent by living as a Man on Earth, a Perfect Man.
The word Jesus was invented by the Vatican about 500 years ago, first by inventing the letter 'J' and then creating the gee sound for the letter J.
And, since the Vatican is an Edomite institution, they tricked the Christians into cursing He who would Save them.
How? By the word Jesus, Christians began calling the Messiah-YahShua by a Greek word gesus, meaning seducing un-faithful pig, which is essentially how the Pharisees viewed the Messiah yahShua.
He is Creator, Spirit (His Word) and He came and proved His True Intent by living as a Man on Earth, a Perfect Man.
We will simply have to agree to disagree on that one.
What good things should you attribute to God?
Existence
Evil is created by men just like gods are created by menfunny how the sinner fails to see evil ...
Religion was the best way to control the masses when people were uneducated and illiterate.
Why else do you think governments of the past aligned themselves so closely with religions?
As people became more educated religious affiliation dropped and it continues to drop. In fact the number of people who are unaffiliated is rising faster in every developed country around the world.
Religion doesn't have the power it once did when people were ignorant and illiterate.Why do you speak of it as if it was a thing of the past?
For as long as I can remember there has only been the illusion of a separation between church and state.
Every president and elected official has or has had a religious advisor, psychic, or a gibbering evangelical who all try to influence laws and customs to reflect their perverse view of the world, deciding what is criminal or not and what becomes secular law; who is praised and benefits, and who is demonized, marginalized, and suffers.
To this day many laws are based on the most perverse, literal, ignorant interpretation of the Bible possible according to the 'spiritual' advice of the religiously addled; the wisdom of the insane.
I remember hearing fiery sermons about the 'evil' of rock and roll, pot (pft), or whatever, and the next thing you know the police were out in force cracking skulls to fill prisons with unbelievers.
It's not like it hasn't been happening in plain sight. Damn.
Religion doesn't have the power it once did when people were ignorant and illiterate.
The number of people who are unaffiliated with any religion is growing far faster than the number of people who are affiliated with any religion.
So yes religion is losing its power to control the masses
I suspect you have underestimated the gravity of the situation.
Did I say they were egoists? Or did I say their higher power was merely ego? Two very different things.Tell me do you think Buddhist are egoists
You said spirituality without a god is ego.Did I say they were egoists? Or did I say their higher power was merely ego? Two very different things.
Hmmm. It probably has more to do with religion being dropped from public education entirely than with people being "educated" in other fields.As people became more educated religious affiliation dropped
government has no authority to endorse a religion by requiring it be taught in public school.Hmmm. It probably has more to do with religion being dropped from public education entirely than with people being "educated" in other fields.
Look up the definitions. One is normal, one is abnormal. What is the goal of Buddhism? It is to reach the state of Nirvana where greed, hatred, and ignorance is quenched. Self improvement, therefore ego, correct? No reason to get so defensive about it, because the same is true of many religions--to overcome evil thoughts and deeds. The difference is the power higher/greater than self, and that power is God.You said spirituality without a god is ego.
Buddhists follow a spiritual path with no gods therefore according to your statement Buddhists are egoists
Teaching religion is no more endorsing the subject that teaching science or PE is endorsing/pushing people into those particular fields. Ignorance of those subjects is seldom lauded. Why should ignorance of religion be lauded?government has no authority to endorse a religion by requiring it be taught in public school.
funny how the sinner fails to see evil ...
It's not a coincidence that the universe popped into existence being hardwired to produce life and intelligence.We will simply have to agree to disagree on that one.

At the heart of this debate is whether or not the material world was created by spirit. If the material world were not created by spirit, then everything which has occurred since the beginning of space and time are products of the material world. Everything which is incorporeal proceeded from the corporeal. There is no middle ground. There is no other option. Either the material world was created by spirit or it wasn't. All other options will simplify to one of these two lowest common denominators which are mutually exclusive.And there is no scientific evidence that it was designed and created by some intelligent being.
As I said, we will have to agree to disagree.
God's "form" is human. I follow (and believe) Jesus.This is a really good question I just had because it was a topic of conversation a few days ago and hopefully I can explain it correctly. Do you believe that there's only one religion and all of the other ones are false and those gods don't exist, or do you believe that there is still one God, but many different beliefs about Him? I'll give you some examples because I'm not sure if I worded that correctly. Like Allah, Zeus, and God/Jesus.
Are they all the same God, but people have mixed views about Him? Or are they completely different gods altogether? I tend to believe it's the first one because otherwise, why would they all be considered godly spiritual beings? I hope that I explained that well enough. JGalt, JohnDB, I would really like to hear your opinions on this, and yes I know there are many different branches like Catholic and Baptist, but that's not what I'm referring to.
That's NOT what "separation of church and state" meansWhy do you speak of it as if it was a thing of the past?

As prophesied by JesusBut affiliation with religion religion is steadily lessening in the populations of just about every developed country on the planet because religion is no longer the best way to control a population
