Re: # 47,Khuram:
Thanks for noting my profile. But the essence of my statement is that ALL HUMAN IDEAS ARE ARE HUMANLY CONCEIVED AND ORGANIZED. Thus we humans are the extension of God if we so conjure God.
Unity that I aspire for is entirely human. Divinity is merely a way of garnering support for human ideas. NOTHING MORE.

Inquirer,

``Divinity is merely a way of garnering support for human ideas. NOTHING MORE.``

So you should let good people of world to enjoy this support. Why do you want to deprive them of this support...???

Re: # 52,Khuram:
Thanks, for the totally honest response.

The bad record of performance of almost all religions in exploiting, terrorizing and dividing people (humans) all over the world requires that we intelligently undrstand what is what.

Only then will the Einsteinian definition of religion will become applicable to the organized AND delusive activities that pass for religion today.

PS. Your interpretation of the consequence of adherence to religion interms of acquired ``support`` is significant and I hope deliberate not accidental.

Re: # 52

``good`` people do not require theology to support their ``good`` actions..............if you try to do that then you would find yourself in the same boat as radical Islamists .......
