 my thoughts on religion

i am not very religious and never been in the past but i have been thinking a lot about it in the past few weeks. i was raised a Cristian but hardly ever went to church but i was always taught to be open minded.
i have come to the conclusion that no one religion is right or wrong or is the one true religion. i believe that all gods are one god and that it doesn't matter how you worship or believe just as long as you do have the belief you will get to heaven or wherever you go.
i just really don't like the fundamentalist Cristian belief that everyone accept Cristian's will go to hell even Jews who are the chosen people of god, it just seems so closed minded.
this just makes so much sense to me. discuss.

I think you are wrong. I think it doesn't matter what you believe because the same thing will happen to every person when they die. What that thing is I do not know.

that is an interesting thought TODAY. i really dont know if i believe that the same thing will happen to people or not, i should've made that more clear when i said if you believe you will go to heaven or wherever you go. this might go against what i originally posted but that goes to show how much i really care because the fact is we will never know until we die.

Nothing to descuss for me, because I think you're right.

the fact is that no man knows more than anyone else about what is going to happen when we die.
Its always been a mystery and there are infinite theories people have.

The Word of God disagrees with you. There is only one true way. Are you smarter than God?

Well I say God disagrees with you. Ask him, he'll back me up.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. -- `Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' -- Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.

personally I am an athiest I believe solely in science as it makes sense to me and I am confortable viewing the world in this way and having unanswered questions. I think religion came about because there were, and are, a lot of unanswered questions about life and the universe and people generally do not like feeling that they dont know or have no control over their surroundings or life. That being said I do not think being religious is wrong, if it helps that person enjoy life and have purpose then that is wonderful. What I do think is wrong is closed minded fundamentalists that say one way or the other is the sole right way and then they therefor develop hates for others due to their belief system. I am not saying this happens solely in religion either. people like richard dawkins who are rude and arrogant to people of religion because they dont subscribe to parts of science (although I believe what he says just not how he spreads his message). anyways this is my 2 cents on religion and life

I sort of agree with what you are saying. I've actually been writing my own philosophy on spirituality over the past few days I'll probably post it today or tomorrow. Basically I beleive that God is the creation of every beings combined manifestation of what we all believe god to be, in a since we create god and have the ability to become god for periods of time.

Climb aboard.
The ceremony we attended in southern Mexico was a true agape, a love-feast, a Holy Supper, in which we all felt the presence of God, in which the Element carried its own conviction in the miracles it performed within us. The faithful were not obliged to accept the dogma of Transubstantiation in order to know that they had partaken of the body of Christ. (How startling it is that the ancient Aztecs called this Element by the same name that we use for the Bread and Wine of the Eucharist—God's Flesh!) May not the sacred mushroom, or some other natural hallucinogen have been the original element in all the Holy Suppers of the world, being gradually replaced by harmless Elements in a watering down of the original fearful sacrament? May this not be the explanation of the Archetypes, the Ideas, of Plato? The ancient Greeks never revealed the secret of the Eleusinian mysteries, yet many must have known it and whispered to each other about it. We know only that the initiates drank a potion and later in the night knew a great vision. The Greeks, who were the fathers of pure reason, reserved a portion of their minds for the mystical element, the mysteries of Eleusis, the oracle at Delphi, the daemon of Socrates. No one knows for sure what beverage the ancient Hindus meant by the Soma, nor what was the origin of the ling chih of the Chinese, the divine mushroom of immortality. Here is a missing element in our knowledge of these cultures, one that possibly can now be identified by the methods that we have used in our quest of the sacred mushroom. (Gordon Wasson, The Hallucinogenic Mushrooms of Mexico: An Adventure in Ethnomycological Exploration, page 321)
