God on our side?
Excellent question… I hope he is.
Jesus Christ is a nice and good man… He cares deeply for his people and wants them all to realize that they are doing bad deeds against God.
I think he would be my best friend, if I didn’t think religion was just a conspiracy by the future to manipulate us.
How else would our presence here in the present, have been possible without a strong spiritual need in the past? An unshakable belief in God, and of reaching a state of serenity, is what kept some of us out of trouble.
If there were no religion or belief in God, we would have killed each other off a long time ago.
No sense of morals or decency to guide us, just pure animal/human instinct.
Would there have been a way for us to avoid religion and still be good people?
Well I avoided religion all my life, and I think I’m as much a good, caring, thoughtful person as any other Church going Christian
. If not more.
Some can be real @$$-holes.
Everybody will be different without religion in his or her lives I guess…
I was just taught very early on to have morals and principles by my father. I was constantly talked to, to do the right thing. Lecture after lecture… And I’m a better person because of it
.
I guess if we’re not told from the very beginning what needs to be expected of us, we won’t do it.
So religion might have been a necessity for our survival.
My only problem with it now, is that it’s lying to people. And it’s preventing some from knowing the truth about the future.
I agree with some of it’s basic principles. But it’s a hypocrisy when they don’t have principles themselves, when they manipulate and exploit us for it.
