There are so many thoughts about everything that I do not see the connection between "can you prove blah blah blah" as being a religious aspect. To me it is fact, I say this you say that, can you prove what you say, I cant tbh because they are my experiences which I will not deny. I say I am not religious but I find comfort in a lot of things which are connected to religion, ie I love hymns (not hers psst nothing wrong in loving hers ).

Re Minatours and alike, for me I have to remember that all words are man made but I do not know and cannot prove whether a great being is in control. If so that being is energy something which we can all tap into to find a better understanding of life and purpose.

If life was diminshed and begun again, if a man was found upon a beach and he discovered a beano or a fairytale book, would he believe that that was the "bible" of sorts. The answer is we really do not know so for me we have to flip the coin for all/everything to be considered.

I thnk we are finding out. because now that more and more children are raised without religion we also see that the next generations believe in it less, and religion is dying. because no one is born believing in god, it really is just brainwashing. The entire concept of God is just brainwashing by the churches that want to hold power over the people. Also we can see that the more educated people are in actual science and facts, the less likely they are to believe in God. and the opposite is also true, the less educated and less intelligent people are MORE likely to believe in God. Why does God choose the dumb people to believe in him? again, God sounds like an asshole.
