the military association of atheists and freethinkers might disagree with that

....yet we see so many so-called Christians ignore those teachings and instead preach hatred and intolerance. Instead they spout references to the old testament to support their claims. Even though Jesus refuted many of the things in the Old Testament.

Many people CALL themselves Christians. Doesn't mean they are and anyone who behaves like this is, quite simply, a liar.

We had a friend who became interested in Scientology but it cost him an absolute fortune to buy all their books/literature.
I've no idea how much it costs to learn about the Kaballah lol

At my son's school I recently got fairly short shrift when suggesting to the headmistress that they should rename the Religious Education lessons 'Superstition' lessons.
Upon that being rejected hands down I tried a different tack, that the lessons could be renamed 'Lies'

Religion is a load of old codswallop based on nothing more than fairy tales.
However, people need some sort of spiritual belief...it has a lot of psychological value, such as making the death of a loved one easier to bear, or coping with scary thoughts of one's own mortality.
so let's get rid of the big organisations and just each of us invent our own personal fantasy god/goddess .....all of the psychological benefits, none of the manipulation by clergy out to further their own political ends and greed for power and wealth

we all die leaving a few people to remember us for a short while, why is that so unpalatable?
it's so unbearable for lot's of us that we have to invent a whole new life somewhere else and then fight and kill each other other over who's fantasy is more worthy...
