Think about the conditions we would be in without certain foundation level laws.. these are based on morals and ethics.. the same is true with religion, you cannot be part of the divine if laws are broken or ignored.. a criminal breaks the law because they want it their way (which is based on desire for money, status, shortcuts etc). There is nothing divine about breaking laws that are designed to make a person more ethical and moral!
Think about this for a moment, who is mentally stronger? A person who can live a moral ethical lifestyle or the person who disregards these things and lives "how they want" (which is usually based on selfishness, pride, lust etc etc.)? Think carefully.. the person who disregards, disregards because its the easier way of living, easier does not always mean best.
We have an animal nature and a divine nature, we have forgotten about our divine nature... visitors to this planet will surely see that we are a severely sick humanity, no wonder they abduct people of this planet and do tests upon us.
(true) Religion is here to elevate us to a true human state, to become once again divine beings. It's a shame that this humanity regularly produces demons rather than saints like in the past.

no, sorcery is not the use of "magic" or technology. it's the use of pharmacopeia in religious practice.

Did you ever watch The Sopranos? Catholic Italians beating up, maiming, offing off people and they feel good about it and the fear of god doesn't do a thing to them, they wake up the next ready to start all over again. Ever hear of the mafia? Started in Italy by catholic Italians. Where was their divine nature, out for a smoke?

Ive just realisded what a big problem religion is, its like the voice in your head demanding you must do this and that, and an old book dominating your life..
You must live like this or you will burn in hellfire forever and ever.
So come on ET put everyone out of there misery.

Congratulations, you have achieved a ET variant of a Cargo Cult *look it up, was observed in the Pacific during WW2* mentality. Very simular to the "religousness" you dispise. Now, apply critical thinking *question your conclusions, take other viewpoints into consideration and not just the ones you agree with* and climb beyond it. "Beware he who would save you from yourself. For in his heart he dreams himself your master." -paraphrased from an unremembered source

Skeptical Ed: "You are expecting a lot from an alleged species that was created by humans, just as myths are created by humans. What makes you think that if the species conformed to your ideal they would know how creation (not meant religiously) was created? How would they know of earth's beginning? How would they understand a concept that humans created?"

SE: "Only if you are a religious believer/slave would you be affected by religion. I'm an atheist, I'm free of the ills you describe. Only I dominate my life."

SE: "So religion is equal to misery? Since I don't hear from the believers/slaves that they are miserable, then what is your purpose in desiring an outside force to end their misery? Shouldn't the affected be the ones to take action? The French stormed the Bastille. Let the affected storm the Vatican or whereever the other religions have their headquarters."

Its not that, the universe is spiritual, the multiverse is spiritual. First Cause endowed all things with consciousness, and is in a never ending process, of discovering Herself, and that She is the Child of yet another Creation, and we are all on this journey of discovery perfecting ourselves.
Our religions, primarily the 3 judaic based ones, are from Sumeria ultimately stemming from the Nuki's for the sake of control, lest we truly free ourselves by our numbers and awareness. And they are the most warring religions as well. Oh gee, wonder why.
In the end after disclosure will bring about advancement and true understanding and things that are illusions will fade with our own advanced and healed dnas, and our own spiritual work, and psi abilities restored, our multidimensional abilities restored. We'll all be able to discern for ourselves.
Well going that "Sumerian"direction: What about the Annouki or what you call them?-if they decide to manifest themselves (if they really exist) do you think it will be beneficial to our race??
