It is called FAITH, TRUST, if you would read the scripture and search for the truth you WILL FIND IT TO BE THE TRUTH.
What is faith? Hebrews 11: 1-6 faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Do you know what FAITH IS?????
Do you believe George Washington was/is a real person, do you know anything about recorded history???
PRM,
You asked "do you know anything about recorded history???"
Only what I was taught and read in school. Interestingly, the stories about George and their interpretation about George as a Mason, President, leader, slave owner, etc. are concerned are already changed significantly in the texts my grand kids used in school sufficiently to be almost unrecognizable when compared to the texts I used as a child.. Within 2,000 years how much will they change? I don’t know but I do know they will be changed.
You folks talk about faith. Well Faith is defined as “a firm belief in something for which there is no proof.”
Did you get that? NO PROOF!
Or a “belief in traditional doctrines of a religion”.
"Religion is supernatural constraint, sanction, religious practice."
There are a number of other definitions but these should suffice to give you the idea of the blindness and dogmatism of religionists, that you see displayed on these posts.
My contention is that an intelligent person would not blindly accept or act on another’s say so, especially if the history of that other was as bloody, slimy, sexually deviant and disreputable as demonstrated by what we know of the religions we are aware of.
An intelligent man looks at how each of us was taught the religion we espouse and why.
It is interesting to then observe that generally, the mother was the principle force in determining a child’s religion. As was her mother before her. Until fairly recently, these women were uneducated, illiterate and subservient to the men in their lives.
And these women were inducted with the connivance of a religious leader who himself did not believe the religion, but made a good living from it, helping the Kings, or other governments to control the ignorant population.
All religions were and are a foul, deadly scam.
