    Religion is dead…stepped over and left behind by educated thinkers…remaining remnants left standing continue to crumble as last of non-thinkers roll back into earth’s dust, water and atmosphere, non-thinkers heaven.  The truth hurts.

      Agreed that 'religion' is to become dead and not practiced.

      How ever, 'religion' MUST be revealed for what it is and for what it is not.

      The simple fact that many people "believe" or have "faith", in a non-existent 'god', makes absolutely no logical sense.

      Yes, faith- allows you to believe in whatever you want, but if you don't spend most of your life inside reality and more time in a non-reality place, then you're most likely to miss out on your life and it's meaning(a real purpose, which worshipping a 'god' is not a real purpose, because it's based on imaginary characters you've created in your mind.)

      The 'way' you form your belief is due to a lack of knowledge and understanding you have on life itself. And, the FACT that you don't see it, is not much of a surprise.

      @ Valerie F.

      You are correct - religion is NOT superstition.

      Religion is a CORE belief which allows one to obtain or attain, "Enlightenment" and nothing more.

      Enlightenment is Consciousness, to be one with oneself.

      "God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?"

      Some believe the idea of God died in the Holocaust.

      wink  I'd suspect a certain notion of religion and God died, but as this thread is testimony to, for many hiding out in their caves, this is not so.

          Maybe so...for his biography. 

          His ideas are not at odds with God, however, just the notion of God brought forward, I believe, with the Christian thinkers at the end of the Classical period who wanted to meld human ethics teaching to the notion of the divine.

                However you are correct when it comes to dieing. We do not know anything when we are dead, we are "asleep" that is until Jesus comes comes back to redeem us.

    It certainly is dead to those who want it dead. And it certainly is very much alive in those who want it alive.

    "Educated" and "thinkers" include believers and non-believers.

    It's not all one way or the other. It's more like dusk where light and dark intermingle and there is not fine line between absolute light and absolute dark.

      Defensiveness from those who belief, to justify their own belief system.

      They already have doubt, but they are trying to push that doubt out of the way, so they can believe themselves better than most.

      When the truth remains- their individual attacks on those who don't believe, are damaging themselves without even realizing it.

      A TRUE believer needs not defend their position.

      Either way, none of them can argue from an offensive position, because their so-called 'facts' are illusions and nothing more.

    Your religions kill and cause death.  Death to the spirit, death the Earth, death to the masses, death to the god you call God, Death, death, death, death, death and more death.

    Fear, fear death, don't fear death fear death.  Die, stone them, hang them, burn them, don't murder them just kill them.  Kill, kill, kill, kill says the good works of the Lord!!!

    Kill or be killed.  Turn the other cheek he says... kill then yourself.  Suicide, kill, murder, death. 

    A dead god, a living dead god.  A zombie who manifest in the night so that he appears as the light.  It hides quietly under your bed listening to your prayers.

    Dear God, if you can hear me, forgive me for my trespasses but when oh when Good Lord will you come to do as you said you should do?  How much longer shall I suffer with the unbelievers, the idolaters, those who worship death, Satan, the deceived. 

    Put your hand on me and let me do your works.  It is your will my Lord.  Because I am faithful, I shall overcome.  I will kill with love in my heart.  I shall die burdened and sufferable.

    My death is like yours.  Please Oh Heavenly Father, let me be crucified as your son.  Allow me to be the atonement for the unbelievers.  Because death is the only way to life through the grace of your son whom you made the sacrificial lamb so that us worthless idolaters shall be saved from the mess created by our own hands! 

    We are not good enough to be made the sacrificial lambs, we are sinners and not worthy but Christ was made perfect therefore the death of the innocent represents your true way oh Lord. 

    Forgive them Oh Lord for they do not understand...

        I think that the arguments that Atheists are bringing to the forefront are convincing many religious people to drop the religious worship and worship the true god,

    Religion is dead?

    Hardly.  Just because there is a little communist atheist element in the United States that is desperately screaming their anti-christian propaganda it doesn't mean that it is true.  There are 6 million new Christians coming into the church in Africa every year.  The underground Christian church in China is growing dynamically.  China may eventually become the country with the most Christians in fact.  Christianity is growing all over the world.  Soon it will have been taken to all peoples and nations.  Do you know what will happen then? wink

            Their answer will always be, "I base my beliefs off the FACT that the bible is True."



            And that's what makes science so great.  I like the quote from the movie Dogma here... War's are fought to change religion.  Ideas can be changed in an instant.  I'd much rather believe in something that I can change on a whim then on something that could be completely wrong, but refuses to admit it.

    This is the sort of contradictory crud that made people realize it is all a crock.
    Hypocrisy is everywhere when you know where to look for it.

    Apologists always scream that text is "out of context" when you try to align what this tome says. Trouble is different religionists have different "context"
    Laughable!

    1. Whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery (Matthew 5:32, 19:9 & Luke 16:18).

    2. "Whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery" (Matthew 5:32).

    3. whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her" (Mark 10:11 & Luke 16:18), which applies to women as well (Mark 10:12).

    4. So they are no longer two but one flesh.  What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder (Matthew 19:6 & Mark 10:9).

      Great question...
      Can it be verified? I don't mean to go all attack-science with that question...

      But if you are saying that there is something that we are sure exists, but don't understand, then my answer is, I would not deny it at all.

      If there was proof that a god exists, I would accept the proof, not deny it.
