[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you believe in love?  Jesus teaches us that God is Love.[/quote]

Are you really that naïve about Christianity? If God is just Love, then explain all of the requirements for our behavior that God apparently has. The Christian God--for better or worse (mostly worse, IMO)--is MUCH more than just love.

The Christian God judges everyone's souls after they die to determine if they go to heaven, purgatory, or hell. Sound like love to you? [/quote]

That is dogma not god.[/quote]

Exactly. The dogma part of religions is about trying to live a life in tune with the purpose of creation, and frankly, trying to learn what that is in the first place. Prayer is mediation, a ritual, centering act which heals you and can lead you to that mental, spiritual place that puts yo in touch with that which is beyond human knowledge. Not many succeed. But in the rituals of religions, you set yourself on one of many paths to the same place. Many of the rituals and rules seem 'crazy' to people not within the tradition, but to others, simply the knowledge that this same tradition has been followed in the same way for centuries by millions puts their minds in a place that much closer to what they seek.

And BTW, you are taking the "judgement" thing too literally because your brain is processing all of this like a child. [/quote]
