Religion is created by man only cause we can live without answers to questions we don’t understand.

The thought that time is something that has always existed is unbearable and impossible to comprehend. Like it is impossible for a mouse to understand that cheese is made out of something from a cow.

And because we don’t understand these things we invented religion.
The Vikings explained thunder with Thor and the Romans with Jupiter and the Greeks with Zeus. Same thing different name.
As goes for protestants ore Catholics. We could not understand how life was invented, what the sun was or the fact that life has to ends when you die.

I encountered a great religion in Mongolia. 15 pages, a small book. It told you to be nice and think well about other people. Hade something similar like the 10 commandments but I believe it was 15. Told you how to help someone with different injuries and how to treat you surroundings.

-“But what do you believe in”, I asked.
-“Believe in? Just follow the book and you can believe in anything you want”.

There you have a great religion.

Since this is Columbus day I have been thinking about the Great Aztec Empire. A very advanced civilization in Southern Mexico. It took the Spaniards less than 3 years to wipe them off the planet. The Aztecs were equal to the challenges of combat but had no answer to the European's Smallpox.

I'm interested in the Aztecs in the context of our religion discussion. The Aztecs were very tolerant of other faiths. When they conquered another tribe, as they frequently did, they did not destroy them or necessarily absorb them. The Aztecs demanded only a few things: Payment of tribute, supply warriors in times of battle, and pray to the Aztec god in addition to your own gods.

So, I wonder what became of the Aztec gods once the Aztecs were obliterated. I am not so arrogant to think that the Aztecs had false gods. Who would I be to say that my god is real while your god is false? Does faith make us so arrogant to think that we are right and the rest of the planet has it wrong? I don't think that is faith. I think that is INTOLERANCE plain and simple. I am not saying that anyone who has posted here about their own beliefs is intolerant, how could I - I don't know you, I'm just pointing out that if we stop to consider that we possibly could be wrong or possibly learn something from another culture that we would ALL be better for it.

In some religions, there is a God of Shoe Fapping. I look to this god for guidance. I would never think that the God of Shoe Fapping is the one proper god, so why should ministers, imans and religious scholars tell me that Shoey is a false god?

Most christians don't want to hear that Pado. IMO christians have shown to be very intolerant towards other people's beliefs over the centuries.

I agree with that statement.



And I also can admit that the mere presence of a fapped shoe is not actual proof of the existence of Shoey. The mystery of faith.

**** that, mate. The politics you 'discussed' with Seven 'once in a while' were completely killing this place. The disucussion between the two utmost civilised beings Lou and Shadowfax is one of the best things that have ever happened in this place in recent times. Really refreshing.
