The problem with prayer
#24
RE: The problem with prayer
CoxRox in response to your message to me I just want you to know that you and I are in two different places.I was a fundamental Pentecostal evangelist once for four years.I have felt the so called holy spirit and spoken in tongues and even was purported to have perfomed some healings,but my specialty was casting out demons or exorcisms.I no longer believe that there is a god and I attribute most of what I felt and experienced to psycho emotional causes and the so called healings that people claimed in my ministry to psycho-somatic disorders.After having experienced and researched the many arguments for and against the existence of God I have become 100 percent convinced that God and all gods/godesses were and are nothing more than the creations of man.

I have no use nor time for a god in my life and considering the source of God namely ancient mythology,I dont need to dig any further to confidently discard god and the belief in god to the realm of myth.When you read the scriptures who tells us that they are the word of god?The scriptures themselves claim to be gods word for mankind as in all holy books from so many other world cultures claim.Who is right and who is the true god?Well,that depends in which culture and country you were born in.Religion is a societal and cultural phenomenon and although this may seem like a simplistic view it is also the most realistic view.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
