Is God really real or are people simply deluded?

Well Rob. Remember, in war, it is always the victors who wrote the history. When I think about Mohammed and all his goings on with regards to war, and you compare him to God, they are pretty much the same. It is something that needs to be looked into to be honest. We have seen in the past how powerful the Popes have been through history too. It didn't take much for his followers to put into practice his instructions to kill, maim and torture. Remember the victims of Charles Manson? I am pretty sure that all of his followers at the time thought he was God too. All he had to do was select individuals gullible enough to swallow his guff and that was it. The good thing today is that we have finally broken free from the handcuffs and are now intelligent enough to question religion. This century is going to be the turning point for religion, and armageddon isn't going to when the world ends, it is going to be the day when people finally wake up and realise that thinking for yourself is the best thing ever, being free!!!

I agree, in the free world at least, religion is gonna get kicked to the curb this century I reckon. I feel the Internet is one of the key players. Religion relies on insulating people from knowledge, and that's harder than ever.

Freedom :)
