    Is God real ? or is religion just a scam.

    What do you think ???

    For me there is no doubt, it's all a scam to unite people at that time, sort of a union but they just coulden't get along, therefor is the result the many religions that exist today, and they still cant get along....

    Just bullshit and it works and a few of assholes getting rich off a lot of stupid assholes.
    Catholics have had this going on on a larger scale that most others, keep em Ignorant, keep em knocked up and they will keep pouring all their money into your coffers.
    Worked well at first and still working well today in most countrys,, Thailand is of that mentality, but Buda beat the Pope to them.

    Do not confuse the belief in god(s) with the deeds of religious organisations/institutions.

    True enough, but they still refere there actions, to the word of the God, that they believe in, so the two things are linked together.

    People who believe in any kind of God are in the grip of advanced mental illness.

    That ropey old story-book they pass off as the 'word of God' is the biggest crock of shit I have ever read.

    When Jesus was - supposedly - around, superstitious mumbo-jumbo was the order of the day & this scientific ignorace led to all sorts of fairly-tales being touted as facts & actual events, rather than the rambliings of a man - Paul - who admittedly, never even met Jesus.

    There is no evidence anywhere in the world, other than this Paul's say-so, that any of this Jesus cobblers ever happened.

    The answer to the question 'does God exist' - is no.

    If the Romans had witnessed any of the stuff they go on about, they would have it documented elsewhere.

    Post is serious but takes a little thought to interpret. I will elaborate later when my daily bout of senility has passed. Stoller will have grasped the significance of the post.

    There are some that will argue with that. Ceburat for instance?

    I believe in gods.
    They are kind to me. They offer hope when all seems hopeless. They relax and soothe me in times of distress. They've provided safe harbor and strong shelter throughout my life.

    Yes, the Beer gods and the Dancing Girl gods have been kind to me, and I hold them in highest esteem. I think I shall go to the temple and pray later today.

    It's all the same thing - just a slightly different flavour, depending on who you talk to.

    There is no doubt that God is real, we can't prove it exist or doesn't, therefore logically it actually exists (singularity principle)

    Dunno about God, but religion has its uses. However, it should not be thought to the young, the gullible or people unable to think critically - in other words, the very individuals most likely to believe in the supernatural.

    Real or not people needed it. In the past that is. You have to have something / someone to blame things on. So, spotting a gap in the market the power brokers step in, organise things a bit and Bigo you've got organised religion. It's a bit like Tescoes or any other multinational, just a lot more hypocritical.

    As life and society become more and more complicated there's an inevtable rush for the safety and security of some "superior" being that will help to make sense of it all. The powers know this and evangelism, closely followed by fundamentalism spread like cancers.

    Manipulation of the masses. Keep 'em frightened and confused and you'll keep control.

    It worked in the older days, and still some countries are able to keep control that way.
