is it possible that religion is nothing more than an illusion and that depending on how you look at will determine your belief or lack of belief and this is for all religions
the above image is two pics of the mona lisa the most beautiful work of art ever her beauty her presents it is.....it speaks for its self
however if you turn the pic right way up well you will see what i mean as i said maybe that is all religion is an illusion???
Not really interesting enough to get a reply after 23 hours.
So here is my reply: Who cares what it is or what it isn't. Each person will CHOOSE to believe what they want to believe whether it exists or not, because it helps them cope with life to have some kind of purpose for existing.
I cant choose what I believe. I can only beleive that which has evidence.
How do you choose to believe in fairytales?
I'll never know.
How can you not believe in the world in which you live?
Do you believe in coincidences?
Errrm there is evidence for the world and coincidences.
mikeNV very harsh not nice the reason no reply is because it is not as easy as you make it out i am not questioning belief i am asking about the religion let me re phase it
is it possible to say that all religions are illusions the trick being look at it one way and you see a lie and look at it another way and you see turth?
i dont see anything in the question i asked saying any thing about belief so less of the nasty remakes all questions on this forum answered or not are interesting ALL without exception it is through others and thier views that we learn........
I see no logical reason why any particular religion should be elevated above others. My God is better than your God? People find their own way in life. As long as they're nice people that's the main thing.

Life on Earth; what a letdown! We don't ask to be born but here we are anyway, pushed into a world where you get bossed around for approximately 80 years before crumpling up and dying. It doesn't seem fair. Then, to add insult to injury, people keep on trying to find a point in this lousy...

If you do not go to church, but you believe in God, are you still considered religious?

Is anyone else concerned about dangerous theology?There is a new theology out there that says being good means NOTHING. Jesus died for your sins and all you have to do is believe in him. That's it. Nothing more and nothing less. It has nothing to do with being...

This is a hypothetical question. If in fact whatever religion you happen to believe in was not true, what would it take to persuade you? Obviously, the more severe the charge, the more evidence we demand in order to accept it. For example, if your buddy told you he had Chinese for dinner last...

A common religion debate is that religious people try to shove their beliefs down every ones' throats, which is unwanted, closed-minded, and hypocritical. Yet the most common closed-minded belief shoving type of people I know have invariably been Atheist. And, ironically, half the time...
