True untrue or cloud cuckoo land is all irrelevant.
If man is to live in peace everyone has to drop religion now before its too late. I hate to use a cliche but we need a new world order.
There are people volunteering in war zones and helping homeless people and volunteering for charities. my wife volunteers and has done for the last 12 years helping terminal patients in a hospice. She no longer believes in the Church she was brought up with after she had a car crash and the local priest who normally asks for prayers for congregation members in such occasions deliberately ignored her suffering and refused to Christen our daughter because we were in an appeal process with the local Catholic School of which he was a Governor. He passed the duty off to an underling.
All these volunteers go unrewarded. Least of all financially but most of all in peoples thoughts. We see them when catastrophic events occur but while we have all these events like Comic Relief etc Volunteers are just not sexy - don't make money and are simply taken for granted. the nearest they get to recognition is the Children of the year awards but that is only by proxy. Children are praised for self sacrifice but adults who self sacrifice are taken for granted and ignored.
I am not suggesting we give world power to volunteers what I am saying is these volunteers do not need religion they work due to their own moral convictions and usually or sometimes because they or a family member have suffered.
big organisations like all the usual suspects - save the children - cancer research etc etc have high flying executives driving fancy cars and living in big houses and only a small proportion of money raised actually goes to helping their avowed target group.
It could actually be said that these organisations have a vested interest in a cure for cancer not being found or childrens suffering on a global scale to continue.
I have recently worked in the NHS and I left because of my altruistic principles . The grab for getting money for doing as little as possible for patients is completely and openly palpable.
Very nice of your wife doing all that good charitable work, sacrificing her time selflessly, i am sure someone somewhere will reward her one day.
TBH with you, I don't believe in any particular religion, or trying to belong to any particular one, I have my own independent mind to choose in what i believe, based on logical reasoning, and with as many facts and possibilities, as far as they are convincing, simply a skeleton of an Ape resembling 99.9% close to a man is not convincing for me, that skeleton may be of man in fact, not an ape! Even as of today, man comes in many different shapes and sizes! some with deep and high skulls, so I don't buy that argument.
I believe that God is nothing other than some kind of supreme divine energy whose many branches or dimensions were responsible for the creation of this or any other universes, out of his shear energy, and then his divine power/energy also created the first of the life, I totally dismiss Darwinism, I don't think man came out of an ape as such, Apes emerging before humans can be explained to God not being fully satisfied with his creation of his early man, we could also say the same for the dinosaurs, God may not have liked what he created thus he destroyed them all and started all over again, in his aim to create a perfect creature that (we may call that early man as an Ape) and so he may have taken the Ape genes back to the drawing board and made more improvements until he was satisfied of his final results, the creation of a perfect man.
Let me ask those who believe in Darwinism, can any scientist create life out of a sterile compound? I doubt it, if a man could even produce a single biological cell from a sterile compound, if he succeeded then it was possibly due to contamination, or in other words stealing the germ cell that God had created, and the scientists wants to proclaim as his work!
Dolly the sheep was not created by scientist, scientist merely borrowed or stole God's blue print and copied it to produce Dolly the sheep.
