I am not argueing, I thought we were just adults having a friendly disscussion. I know it cant be confirmned, it is a discussion about religion for crying out loud. I am throwing out thoughts for discussion.
If you would like to join a forum that had no opinions allowed, it would make for a very slow site.
Do you know why there were dark ages in Europe. It was the struggle of Kings claiming divine right as they used religion to justify their actions.
have you ever seen the order of the masses? God on top with a King claiming to be chosen from God and where was religion but standing at the front right beside them sharing in that power. I would WONDER how long Kings could maintain power with just might and without the aid of divine right.
Yes there has been good from religion but I feel the cons outweigh the pros.
I wish you all goodnight it is late
