Mankind tends to be one creature based in massive vanity. Mankind hasn't even acchieved a uniform way of getting along with others within their own family let alone a township or nation, yet men wish to beLIEve they can percieve the reality of God?

If mankind could percieve the reality of God then how many churches types would their be?

I'll give you a hint, the answer is ONE.

Just the fact that there are countless types of religions all with egos and heads swolen that they are "the Truth" goes to show anyone with logic that mankind is far from truly understanding anything about the nature of God.

Orginized Religion is Flase. All chruches are false.

Organized Religion is Man's search outside himself for the meaning of his existence and true purpose, instead of realizing that each of us, being created in the image of god, is a god unto ourselves and that we each hold the answers already to all we seek.

All that is can be found within ourselves, if we only open our eyes.

When one awakens to the above realization, there will be no need for "religion" or separation of any kind between man and his Creator.

Of late I have come to believe that it is not religion that is false..., it's the organization.

I've boiled it down to Nationalisim. Even through it is assumed that a Nation belongs to a landmass, it might be assumed the landmass was closer tied to a belief system. The Jews, Islam and even the "Christians" are tied to a plot of land and iconography.

the icon Jesus is the nationalistic symbol of the christians.

Basicly it boils down to the seperation of "Them and Us". The "WE BELIEVE" this and "THEY DON'T". Thusly "WE are more chosen then THEM".

To my amazement the line of those willing to believe themselves to be "Good" or "Light" or "Rightous" or "Chosen" is always 99times or greater longer then those willing to believe they are "Less".

My answer may have seemed abrupt. Please forgive me if so.

Personally I have seen instances where the practice of religion has benefited the faithful and their communities. I suspect the truth of religion is there.

What reeks of corruption, both in its ugliest and most subtle form, comes from the architecture we impose upon it. The structuring tendency follows cultural forms, traits of peoples are assimilated into or adopted by those defining the idiom which each religious form takes. It is imposed upon the faithful. True 'religion' is an expression of human culture; what we have allowed a few to do is make it into their own plaything.

Change comes slowly, if at all, while they 'control' their 'toy.'

There was a book out a few years ago that claimed when Howard Carter was banned from the tomb of tut, he overturned the decision by threatening to expose a papryri that proved the Israelites were not
restrained by pharoah, thus nulifying any truth of the Jewish, Christian or Moslem religions.

How I wish it were true, it would solve a lot of the world's wars.

Religion is a bit redundant if someone has a spiritual link to creation. It then becomes experience. The problem with organised religion is that they place themselves as middlement between an individual soul and it's natural link to God, in many cases severing it. So yes, I guess I can broadly agree with the premisse of the thread.

Religion as a sociocultural and economical entity is basically a wealth centralization and psychological control mechanism for the people who have climbed the materialistic social ladder and have gained socioeconomic power over their peers. At this level the memetics of religion are manipulated and designed to keep other people locked into fear based mindsets, into low energy frequencies, so as to be cattle to these people.

If someone links up to God, or creation, or whatever you want to call it, the reality is that the individual is embracing a higher love based creational energy frequency, the individual is connecting directly to source, and as such needs no middleman.

There are good people in organised religion. There are good things done by organised religion. But overall the concept is flawed and out of sync of the reality of our personal connection to reality, to the capacity we have to link up our souls to the rest of creation.

So just look inside yourselves I guess, be no man's mind slave.

Globalists still want a religion, a control mechanism. It is not sufficient to talk about love if you are still opressed by an authoritarian structure that promisses everything yet gives nothing and takes all it can, so be wary of new religions. They all claim to be true.

The true reality is people only need to find truth in themselves, if they just take the time and make the effort. Anything more than words given for free is, most likely, a false religion. And even those free words need to be thought upon.

Personally, I only found spiritual peace of mind when I made a conscious effort to disconnect from the noise, so that is the free advice I have to give. Just disconnect from all the non-sense and feel.
