Was the Movie Titanic real? No.. it was based on facts of events that actually happened.

Just like the Bible.

There are entire religions based on what one.. or few people have been "divinely inspired" with. Just like Joseph Smith sticking his head in a hat and reading "gold tablets" that only he was allowed to see.

Surely you can't truely believe in one thing in this day and age. you have to believe in the search for the truth, not what somebody else is going to tell us IS the truth. Religions are nothing more than social groups. Like us stoners.
i know, i feel exactly the same way about that. i believe in it because i get a strong feeling and connection to God and my spiritual life through that, and i think the fact that despite how far-fetched it is to believe something and it's still strong enough for me to believe that there's something in it that hits me stronger.

i don't down anyone for what they believe, i don't believe that others are wrong and all that other stuff, anyway, why couldn't God appear to different people in different cultures in different forms. it's so much more multi-dimensional than the majority of people see, but hopefully someone else can see a little bit of where i'm coming from.
