What's your Religion?

the one good thing about a forum is that everyone has their own opinion and are free to express it. However, you are only taking into consideration one book that was created from four gospels.  Maybe you should explore the ones that were never used in that so called holy book.  They will reveal the truth of what happened maybe you should read some of the history books that were available in the first century too.  You will find they too contain the secrets that you appear not to be interested in because they would demolish the beliefs that you were taught but refuse to explore to find out the truth for yourself.
Everything will be revealed in a new book that going to be published soon anyway. There will always be some who despite everything we reveal still refuse to do any research into past history because they have tunnel vision and are unable to see things in an objective manner.  When you can produce some evidence that god existed then you have something to shout about with no evidence you have no proof whatsoever. The same as academics, historians, archaeologists fail to realise that a great comet hit Britain in AD 562 and devastated the island.  As a result the history that they produce is an invention the same as the Roman Catholic version of the Bible is and invention too. Unless you can prove me wrong with substancial evidence then you have no grounds to prove us wrong.

	Me im just confused.....so many religions, so many beliefs, so many contradicitons in religious texts etc. Sometimes i  feel maybe there is something more to life, other times i just feel it is all just evolution. I have many friends from various ethnic backgrounds and religion....most of them try answer my questions but when ever i ask Who Created God? they just answer you never question him or his existence. To me that is not good enough, things dont just exist. for me i have been given life one way or another, i will live it how i deem kind, humble and helpful and when i die, i will know the truth.

If you had seen the bit on TV, a couple days ago, you might have lots more questions.... then agin some might say *I told you so,* whatever that might mean:

There was a Chimpanzee shelter, in the UK, I think, that had a chimp die of old age, so they were about to bury her, and LO, all the others were lined up, on the fence between compounds, watching the event very intently. It just about made my hair stand on end. It was a stunning sight!

Pan Troglodytes do not have religion, so the experts say. So..... why were  they all lined up, watching a *funeral,* so intently?

	Were they watching a funeral?  were the animals lined up for the filming of this event? is it quite possible those animals were wondering what was going to happen to their buddy?  Sounds like the producers have a morbid sense of responsibility to the taste of the viewers or was it just a publicity stunt that made money? beats me

That is a hypercynical attitude, even animals recognize the death of a companion, and these chimpanzees were not orchestrated. Even house cats know when one of their  companions die, whether human or another cat. I can not understand why you should take this stand??

I am constantly amazed at animal reactions to different stimuli, they may not be able to speak, but they are, none the less, sentient.

Chimpanzees CAN learn to speak, through hand sign, it has been shown that Pan troglodytes is far faster at math solutions than humans, they are very sentient and should not be classed as common animals, any more than humans. Who knows for sure what they think of death, or after life.

I am sorry if this bursts your bubble, Alan, but it was not government that established these matters. So you need not be so suspicious. If you do not want to  be a monkeys uncle, fine, you do not have to be!

I can understand that some people feel so superior, that animals are nothing, nihil, nicivo, namowiyak. It would be a sad world without OTHER animals, and this might have some bearing on religion?

i also believe that if ou were born a slave and kept ignorant all your life that you still have a chance for salvation.as for the hundreds of millions that were raised to believe in somthing else i feel that it has alot to do with your soul and theres a chance for everyone no matter the religion if its based on good morality.example you were raised to believe somthing you put everything into it,if you have true faith in it no one can sway your beliefs.
