I can see the reasoning for the "Face" we humans put on the "Gods" that are worshipped, and even accept the need (it allows people to SEE what they pray to) but, dont feel the need to label my vision of these energies in such a way.

I see this a lot in society, and it's really what worries me. if something goes wrong, we blame God and question His workings and in some cases even curse him for that act. If something goes right, however, they usually say it's just good luck. No one ever really ever bothers to question "Why?" anything happens... they just [eventually] accept it and move on and never learn from it.

i think the bible is a bunch of proganda written by many men. ok, there may be some good advice within the bible (i don't really know, being that i haven't actually read it ever fully). i just know that so many people misconstrue the words to fit their needs & that's what bugs me most about people quoting the bible. i should bother to read the book fully someday i suppose.

Yeah, i don't put much stalk into the bible either. it was fully written/compiled over 200 years after the fact, and at a time when people were looking for a something to believe in and being ruled by a paganoistic society that detested belief in anything as well as even went as far as killing people because of their beliefs. also this wasn't too long after man casted off the belief in Zeus and other Greek gods. Kind of reminds of the game you played in kindergarten where everyone would stand a line and tell the next person in line something, then they'd tell the next person, etc. By it reached the end of the line there wasn't a single word beeing passed on that you said. 200+ years is a lot of time to doctor the facts, as well as add your own spin on things.
Granted, there is many good things to be learned from it, but it just seems to me like people believing in Santa Claus their whole lives... instead of trying to figure out the truth, they take other's words for it and take that as the truth. And not many of these people ever try to learn the lessons that it tells either. It just seems as philosophy and actually thinking is something society doesn't want to deal with anymore and there more content with falling into line with other's ideas and thoughts and leave the work to other people. And wether they believe it is true or not is only based on what they themselves believe in the first place. I mean, if some scientists came out and gave proof of intellegent extraterristial life, how many of the ppl would believe it and how many would pass it off as a joke?
