I am a retired Catholic, I gave up on this stuff a long time ago, religion is not about
the human spirit it is about the politics of society for the orderly manipulation of things.
The church is the focal point, and if you do not subscribe, then you are not part of
Gods family and you will burn in hell. Well if there is a hell I will bet there are a lot of
those front pew people who are going to char with wall with their leftovers.
I would think that even God left the church a long time ago.
For those who talk about suffering in the world, well the free will thing is the first step
to put you and the Good Lord at a distance. Of course Adam and Even started all the
trouble sampling those apples. There are a thousand excuses in the Christian faith and
the others for that matter.
The issue of Christ being God and vice verse, you have to buy into the Blessed Trinity
concept, which of course is another mystery of God. Anything that cannot be explained
is a mystery of God. Translation, we don't have an answer yet but we are thinking
about it.
Actually I do not deny the existence of God, I just deny the fact that these churches have
anything to do with God. They are the propaganda ministry of politics to keep people
from looking inside ourselves. Originally the church was not an issue as the religion
taught that each person was a temple of God. The problem is there was no money in
that. If you can't get the people into the church you can't pass the collection plate.
I suppose if I was joining a church, I would ask which party God belonged to and does
He believe in democracy according to the teachings of the specific church.
I would like to know who I am really funding.
