Quote (Wakeup @ April 13 2012,22:03)All religions are man made,and christianity as it is; is also man made using Gods word to deceive the sheep,and for material gain.

Quote (princess @ April 13 2012,12:55)Quote Probably god beliefs and religious ritual evolved in humans because of the totalitarian way it united tribal groups, making god belief a trait with a survival advantage.I would say this most likely happened later in humanity, the awe and wonder that must have been when man first saw nature's beauty and…[Read more]
