Anna B Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 None at all, people with faith are not interested in evidence. That's the nature of faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 The lady who cuts my hair is actually a "white witch" , she sort of worships the elements and planets and stuff. She goes camping in very remote places and very strange times of year too. She goes to Stone Henge every year June 20 something. Her "religion" is fun. She never has to live on bread and water for eight weeks or anything. Before Christanity/religion was forced on everyone, everyone was Pagan.

Mr Soft Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 No I don't think we'd be happier without a God, but we might well be happier without religion. Love and marriage , love and marriage, go together like a horse and carriage? Can't have one without the other? True of God and religion too!

Cyclone Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Before Christanity/religion was forced on everyone, everyone was Pagan. Not really, there were well established Greek, Roman, Viking and Egyptian religions that were not pagan and predated Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Not to mention Buddhism and Shintoism.

MrSmith Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Would the world be happier without a God? The world doesn't have a God and some people are happy, whilst others are miserable, so it would be just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Soft Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 For the poor the economic is the spiritual. You cannot make any other appeal to the starving millions. It will fall flat on them. But if you take food to them they will regard you as their God. They are incapable of any other thought. I do not know why I wrote that quote from Gandhi. I guess that I merely wanted to. How selfish of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janie48 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Once people come to terms with their own mortality they can enjoy life more for what it is. ." Im happy today, tomorrow i might be miserable Nothing to do with God, Just mood or circumstances. I expect i would be just the same even if i didn't believe in anything.
