Man made religion is far more harmfull to society than pretty much anything i can think of, especially people engaging in anal sex in the privacy of their own homes. The world would be an infinitely better place without apparently intelligent people following the ridiculous nonsense man made religion teaches but alas i don't believe we'll ever be rid of it's dark cloud over humanity.
OUCH! Hard to know where to start with this comment... I can't help wondering how much theological research you have actually done before arriving at such an absolute conclusion? Or could it be the usual lazy rinse and repeat what you've read somewhere else and couldn't be bothered to research talking here?
I humbly suggest you try the Bible for inspiration; or at least to comprehend the concept of FAITH. That and the faith-based charities help literally billions of people daily, all over this planet.
Anyway, we'll all know for sure, soon enough, friend. I'll say no more on this thread as I think Pat has understood my original point about tolerance not necessarily being approval.
And even to those not celebrating the birth of Christ 2018 years ago, Merry Christmas, one and all.

But there's not only the Bible is there. What about The Quran, The Vedas, Tripitaka, Guru Granth Sahib, Kitáb-i-Aqdas, Agam Sutras, Kojiki and Avesta to name but a few. All equally as important as your book to people depending on where you we're raised on the planet and predominantly your families believes. All complete man made works of fiction. Only an indoctrinated fool would think otherwise.
The Universe is an amazing place and we'll simply never know why anything exists. The idea that people thousands of years ago did know, is laughable.
Nobody knows what happens to us when we die but the laws of Physics and Thermodynamics suggest nothingness, which is exactly the state we we're in before we we're conceived so i'm happy to go with that. We'll be dead anyway so who cares.
Heaven and Hell. God and the Devil. How old are you. Grow up.
