Religious Scriptures. by mazaje(m): 12:30pm On Aug 16, 2011 |
We are made to believe that the force/ forces that is responsible for the existence of the universe wrote books or inspired men to write books on his or their behalf. Why are all these books based purely on some certain cultures? Why do they promote some cultures over the others? Basically, we can rule out the truth of any religion that is based on a text that contains errors of fact. Errors that, while they could not have been recognized as such by the men who wrote them, would have been glaringly obvious to a God who actually inspired them. But what do we see when we read various religious text? We see ignorance, mythology and nonfactual statements that constantly need to be brushed up twisted and delivered as the truth. Any God with a personal message for humanity that has an interest in being worshiped, or obeyed, or followed, or really, anything other than being ignored, would be able to write or inspire a holy book that all who read it will find it very convincing; very clear, and very perfect in its meaning, and/or undeniably true. But the fact is no supposedly holy text that I have come across even gets close at all, but don't take my word for it. . . Ask the more than two thirds of humanity alive today who are NOT followers of that particular religious text (whichever it may be). No single version of holy scripture is accepted by so much as a simple majority of humans alive today, much less of humans who ever lived. If the Koran was so damn convincing, why do the Christians, Hindus, Animist, Buddhist, etc reject it? If the Bible was so damn convincing, why do the Muslims, Sikhs, Shintos, Jews, Hindus etc reject it? If either (or any other text) was the word of God, we would all believe it, surely, no? If the creators/creator or the forces responsible for the universe have a message for humanity, why would they use a group of people to convey such messages. . . .According to the story they can speak the human language and can write for themselves, why use humans to write a bunch of contradictory and nonfactual books that are filled with lies and mythology? Does that not point to the fact that all religions are man made?. . . |

The true scripture of the creator is the creation itself wherein lies the universal absolute truth. The Creator speaks and inspires only through what it has created and is still creating. All other religious scriptures are all fakes and can never represent the universal truth. The constant fighting and bickering between the believers of these false scriptures proves this beyond all reasonable doubt. |

You go hear them all, mate. Just keep the interest going. It beats hearing nothing at all. ![]() Quick questions to you; If you had the priviledge to create a virtual reality world on the cyberspace, wouldn't you put your knowledge into that which you're creating? Wouldn't that virtual reality manifest from your knowledge? Well, that knowledge is your scripture as the creator of that virtual reality. The same applies to the creator of this reality in which we exist at this moment in time. Makes logical sense, doesn't it?. ![]() mazaje: |
