My way of thinking has been changed by The Oracle. He and I will just preach until we find our Neo because we use the Matrix as a vague parable to help see the Truth. Yeah it probably was just my subconscious looking for a reason to believe in God.

I think religion is evil and spirituality is a personal experience, nobody can prove or disprove. It is a proven scientific fact though that people that pray tend to heal faster. Maybe its that positive imaging effect.
Religion isn't evil. Maybe an evil Religion is evil.
I took Religious Studies in college (The Study of Religion, not a certain one) and a lot of people believe that Religion was created the same time Language was. Calling the Sky "Sky", became personalized and soon the Sky would be mad. Sky God.
Our brains (as of when I was 14) use 6-7%, people use different parts. Maybe Faith and Hope have their own place, which we could use as a vehicle to reach other parts (like ESP). If you visualize a Free Throw (in Basketball) before you shoot it, it raises the chance that you're gonna make it. I guess it's that positive imaging thing.
more people have been killed in the name of religion than any other reason, thats evil.
Even today our president says god told him to fight the good fight in iraq. merci!
I say religion is indeed evil. Religion has consistently thrown a stick in wheel of progress and education. Every religion at one point or another has discouraged education among its practitioners, or has been terrified of new scientific discoveries that disprove its creeds. I think that anything that puts a limit on human potential is evil.Quote:

Every other Roman Catholic I know could give a shit about practicing the religion devoutly. Religion is not an important role in anyone's life that I come into contact with. I don't associate myself with anyone whose life is consumed with Religion, like "Jehovah's Witness" or "Methodists...lol" or "Bible Thumpers", I was gonna play with a Christian Band but the girl sent me to many passages from "King James'" Bible, so I started talking about my view on life, and the weed talk pissed her off.
I'm sure Physicists and Astronomers still follow Religions and not let it hold back their research.
Pray for Herb.
i wouldnt nessacarily say that the worshiped are evil, rather the worshipers are.
I don't know who his God is...Quote:
