Re: If you could change one thing about your religion, what would it be? Excuse me, 4_sure, but the Bible just happens to be one of those books written by some people (mostly unknown) too!

Re: If you could change one thing about your religion, what would it be? Get rid of religion completely. It's a total lie to control man.
Aluta Continua!
Re: If you could change one thing about your religion, what would it be? You obviously have a bite! I wouldn't go as far as saying that it's all a lie to control man. That's too dismissive and simplistic, SnakeByte. To me it's a matter of faith: You are either a believer in a God, or you are not.
Personally, I'm agnostic and am not a believer or practice any particular religion, although I believe the fundamental values that most of the major religions espouse hold true. I would say this: Let everyone decide for themselves, and follow or practice any religion or pray to a God(s) that appeals to them spiritually and personally. But let them also be respectful and tolerant of people who don't believe in a God, and who are not believers, and who say so openly and clearly.
We live in a free world. To my mind anyone's right to practice or follow a religion stops where it impinges or impedes or restricts someone else's right to be a non-believer and to NOT follow any religion or believe in a particular God.
If I could changeone thing about some religions, it would be to appeal to people's love of each other and be tolerant of each other's views and beliefs and to stop trying to convert peple who obviously don't want to be converted.

Re: If you could change one thing about your religion, what would it be? I would change ONE thing.
All illegal acts are to be reported to the police, no more hiding sexual predators who are raping our children.

Re: If you could change one thing about your religion, what would it be? Not sure I undertand, Omer. Which religion would hide sexual predators?

Re: If you could change one thing about your religion, what would it be? Yes, indeed Omer - I had not thought of that.
