What Illusionsaregrander loves about this:

Most, if not all, religions belive that thier faith is the 'true' faith. In Essence, that is what faith is. The only problem is that they believe they are right and all others are wrong and shun them because of it. Religion divides us but spirituality connects us ...

In my opinion, it has very little to do with religion, love, peace and "doing the right thing" and everything to do with ego, greed, power, control. Take the North American Union for example - the "amero" and the theories behind the reasons t...

But you cannot discount the fact that an all knowing, Infallible God created the 'Ego'. If I accept your opinion, I have to conclude that God has bungled and his creation is imperfect. The same applies for freewill as well. If you believe in good and bad, right an...

I can't discount it? Says who? lol ;) That's what I love about being human - free will - the ability to choose and feel and think as i wish and in doing that - I am ok and not "wrong" just because I do not see the way you do, the colours of the rainbow. ...

I wonder how many people have made the observation that the greatest and nearly all of the violence is by those religions that have at their heart, what is called "Revealed Knowledge" The Jewish, the Christian and Muslim Faiths.These Texts are subject ...

We need to look at why different religions are even necessary.  In our human-ness each group thinks it knows a "better" way to reach the common goal of love and acceptance.  In our oneupsmanship we do not realize that in starting a different religion w...

DEAR PDASI had long ago realised that fact re Revealed Knowledge.That is why Taoism , as long as it is not turned into a religeon  appeals.It occurs to me that in the Absolute there is no Good nor Bad , perhaps we strive after the unatainable.?Once again I find that ...

Love and acceptance of the other human being can only happen, if you love yourself unconditionally and through that love recognize the other as one with yourself and love him/her unconditionally. By killing the other human being you are actually killing yourself...

I agree with you about fear completely.  I have not thought this all the way down, but it seems to me often that fear is the root of many of our worst human behaviours.  I dont myself believe that people are born "evil" even though our behaviours often...

Dear ILLUSIONSI find myself returning for a second bite of this cherry.I have read all the insights (mine too) and they did not really seem to get at the kernel of it, they were more dealing with the effect rather than the cause.Being immobile just now I have been vi...

Paul, _noi, and ineffible one.  Nice answers all.  It is nice to see other people's ideas on the subject as it is something I consider often.  My own speculation is that the problem lies less with our inability to follow directions, but rather with our ...
