that's true, but they are nearly all as illogical in concept.Abaddon said:erm,not all religions focus on a diety.
what?Abaddon said:Name some that you think arent.
no, it was an attempt to sound politically correct.Abaddon said:You said "nearly all" though.I thought you had some in mind.
elaborate.War Lord said:If you think religion lacks logic, it's because you're not thinking.

The Riddler said:elaborate.
yes, but my point is it is illogical.War Lord said:I can only speak from a Christian viewpoint. The basic reason, backed up by science, that God gave us all those do's and don't's is that it helps the human race survive, thrive, and maximize their potential.
For example, although man was meant to be a vegetarian (this is shown in Genesis), after the fall, it wasn't possible. So God took the next best step and basically said, "If you're going to eat meat, here's the meat to eat." The animals that are listed as unclean tend to be either carnivores, scavangers or are naturally disease ridden.
this too is my exact belief.Demon Within said:Imagine this.
death followed by nothing. You remembering nothing of your former life or those you knew including loved ones.
This is life and the ultimate reality. It scares people because it tells them there alone when they dont want to be. You will not know you had a child,loved one,mother,father or anything you cherished while alive. Knowing this fact grants you the ability to love every minute of life and to cherish those you have. Thats heaven enough for me.
