What makes you think, your specific religion and or sect, will survive forever? And I don't want puppets with hands up their backs responding. I want your personal opinion, not what your god or holy person or holy writing says.
There was an oral tradition of religion long before written language. There are also lots of dead religions nobody believes in now.
What makes anyone think, say in 20,000 years, if humans manage not to blow themselves up in a nuclear war, or we don't get killed off by a meteor, or mega volcano, and we manage to stop global warming. What makes anyone think today's currently held worldwide religions wont morph into something unrecognizable or simply completely die out in 20,000 years?
And again, please don't respond with, "My blah blah blah says."
I want your opinion, not preaching, or selling.
I'm not personally much for eschatology, but what makes me think, my specific religion and or sect, will survive forever? I don't. The world started without people and religion and will end that way. I know you don't want scripture, but even the Bible talks about the death of the faithful and turning away from the "church"
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
