Dasa thinks his religion is the THE religion.

One or both are certainly wrong.
No one can tell you off for your own religion, but when there's a group there always seems to be a wrong way to do it

That is fine with me if you will just stop posting here and mind your own business.

I reckon Cassaids comments are way better than yours.
And Dasa, any religion that requires you to be so serious is not worth it.
I'm serious about being not serious 😉

Some people here do not wish me to stop, maybe it is because I am doing some good.

Second lesson : No one should stop posting here unless the individual chooses to stop. No one.
It's kind of an American thing. Do you understand ?

It seems that religion comes from hope fueled by fear.
So many different beliefs, so much hope, so much fear.

Originally posted by RJHindsAh yes, don't fear those muslim extremists forcing you to make a choice between conversion and death. Don't fear those influenza viruses that have killed in the millions. Don't fear religious wars, don't fear thugs who take over whole countries. All of that angst is not worthy of attention compared to the mansion in heaven.

Originally posted by sonhouseWhy cannot your explanation apply to your own analysis?

And you put forth your theory as to the meaning of the pattern you think you see.
One thought, our intelligence enables us to see patterns in randomness when in fact nothing is there. Chimps, for instance, cannot imagine patterns embedded in randomness because they have no sense of mind, they cannot visualize internally the idea there might be an active mind behind everything they cannot understand. Their brains are just not sophisticate gious feelings, they can finally grow up and be adults which as a race, we are not even close.
Why cannot the seeing of patterns where maybe none is apply to your own explanation of the source of religion ?
You're just reasoning - ie. "Others see non-existent patterns. But of course I see REAL patterns and come to teach you what they mean".
Why should we not interpret your pattern seeing as a religion of anti-theism ?
