Prayer is to ease the mind of the prayee. It really has nothing to do with god. It is a psychological Linus' blanket.

Say what, Cliffy? You mean to ease the mind of the payee, don’t you? There are many televangelists who will pray for you, intercede on your behalf to God and get him to grant your wish, your prayer (for a fee, of course).

Masochism seems prevalent in this discussion though.
As does sadism. It's ok for relatively "normal" people to talk about stuff outside their particular paths, you know.
Sadism as practised by gods and masochism as practised by those who follow silly, religious dogma. :D

The sooner there is no religion in the world, the sooner we will have peace and love in the world.


False religion = man's twisted interpretation of God's Word. >>> brainwashing

True Religion = rightly dividing the Word of Truth (the Bible), God's True interpretation of how things really are and how they work. >>> salvation, redemption, true freedom

"Know the truth and the truth shall make you free."

JESUS IS THE TRUTH. Do you love Truth ???

That you believe your own gibberish is the only truth, that the bible is the only true word of god, makes you a very dangerous person. There is nothing so dangerous as the self-righteous. They start wars.

Religion is the tool made to separate man from god. A pigeon knows more about god then the common street christian. Having a "christian discussion" thread is racist and anti human. Why can't all the religious threads be jammed together.

I don’t know what you mean by all the threads, we rarely discuss any religion other than Christianity here.

I don't know that there is that much difference between true religion and false religion. I think true religion is an oxymoron.
