When we don’t understand something we call it a “miracle” perhaps because we don’t yet know the science behind it. Remember when people thought that thunder and lightning was caused by angry Gods? Are we so much more advanced in science today that we understand the cause of everything?

If you think we are the only life form. our planet is a speck in the Universe. There are far more intelligent life forms that laugh at us with our wars, killings and meanness!

God put Jesus to death because of our sins...and here I thought I had an awful childhood.

Where is Heaven and what happens there?

Heaven is the BAIT on the hook used to extract money from the masses and build churches to impress and create an environment best suited for mind control and the replication of a carefully selected set of ideas. Repetition, singing, ceremony, and socialization are used as Pavlovian rewards.

Science is when people are looking forward for answers. Religion is when people look backward for answers.

So, you are saying that anyone that believes are morons, susceptible to brainwashing and grift. Well, if you are wrong I guess you are in a bit of a fix in the future.

And you left "FAITH" out of your statement.

I do appreciate the effort, but I think it's best to just let it go at this point, as it seems the "high-functioning/multi-tasking" chip - is temporarily on the fritz. LOL

Disagree. Look at the universe we exist in. Stars exploding, galaxies colliding, solar systems being wiped out. Black holes sucking every thing withing its gravitational influence spiraling to oblivion. Plants getting life giving nutrition from the very rocks and earth. Animals killing and eating the plants. Other animals killing and eating animals. No, peace is not what the world was meant to be. Peace is simply our dream of what we would like it to be. Heaven on Earth!
