Re: What is religion?
I'm sorry but it's hard for me to believe that God is so judgmental and promotes disharmony between human beings. Just because an atheist doesn't belief in the existence of God doesn't mean that he/she will be sent to the fiery pits of hell by that same God. God would never be so cruel and hurtful just because a human being doesn't believe in its existence. I refuse to believe in something like that. I also refuse to be so arrogant as to say that only my beliefs are the way towards true happiness. For you your beliefs are right for you and for me my beliefs make me feel happy in life which is the only thing that matters at the end.
^Respecting your beliefs is an obligation. No one would have a problem with that.
** It's when you start sounding judgemental and go off making statements about what God will or will not do, is where the problem resides.**
** None of us can ever say/predict what God will do to whom. Maybe if you refrained from making such statements you'd do more to instill harmony.**
I know you intended good. :)
I have to agree with A.K.B, that GOD is very Just. Each of us are accountable for our own deeds/actions, the choice to do good or bad is yours/mine/everyone's individually.
Thanks....
