"IF" there was a God....

[Bad Writer]

Being born into a religion especially several generations in almost alway results in failure when it comes to worshiping God. It happened with the Jews repeatedly hence the need for the Judges found in judges one and book two.

This is also found to be true in Christianity. This era was known as the dark ages. These dark times happen when people focus on worshiping on the method of worship rather than God Himself.

I'm glad you're here to school us all on how the Dark Ages actually happened. Whew, and we were thinking it was because of the suppression of intellectual discussion and thought by power hungry papalcies!

Another example can be found in most of the members here. As most of you started out in a church of some kind as as you spiritually matured you saw the flaws in your religions, and left God because you assumed that God was completely represented by what you started out believing. Which is good for a young child but not so good it seems if/when you grow.

Too bad Drich wasn't around to show us that we were actually just believing the wrong way. All hail Drich, the Chosen One!

Even if the deeply religious stay in the church they tend to be the empty angry, and disconnected you all like to rail about. In short religion is a tool, like a hammer. In the right hands with the right intention it can be used (in part) to build a house. But, in the wrong hands with the wrong intentions that same hammer can be used to tear a house down.

Please tell us what can be accomplished in ANY religion that demonstrably cannot be done in another.

Being born into a religion can be a blessing or it can be a curse. It depends on the person.

As there are no such things as either a blessing or a curse, there must be third option. (And it's actually the only option.) How about happenstance?
