The medium is the message

touche, I see your point.

However, disagree :P but not really

religions are only as good as the people, yeah, but I'm going to take it one step further and say Religion (going to use capitalized singular) is what is just, scientific, logical, and is pure and simple common sense.

my belief is that there's only one religion, but because of people, being people (inherently flawed) we misunderstand (is that a word) and divide it up, and make different forms of religons.

Lol, then I guess this is were we're going to have to part ways. I think there are many religions, and I think that the state of people and their beliefs prove this. I think there may be one TRUTH. But there are obviously different religions.

I also think many religious beliefs are pretty far away from common sense and science. I think the common ground between the religions is when you look at the teachings, because most of them just focus on being good people and living good lives and loving one another. However a lot of the old stories are pretty far from common sense and science, as well as lots of the 'rules'.

Obviously the way some religions believed where water came from, rainbows, how the sun circled the earth, etc. etc. etc. deviate from science and even often in their thinking before science could have proved this, the deviated from common sense.

But I still loved your real long post, and my beliefs in no way mean yours wrong. We just don't agree and/or think differently. [/b][/quote]
I like how you put on TRUTH, what I was getting at with Religion (capitalized, singular) as opposed to religions (lowercase plural)

actually by the sounds of it we believe the same thing, but are articulating in different fashions, using different rhetoric to express ourselves

... sound framiliar?
