Most rational people construct a system of activity based on the high probability of certain structures controlling results. It's not so much a system of beliefs as rather a pragmatic procedure to get the results desired. In my life God plays no part in obtaining desired results.

Ya, it's easy because it's fairly brainless -- you just sort of float along and feel pious. I'd highly recommend it as a religion for those seeking more self-involvement and a vacation from the mind. Nothing too involved. Don't have to get your hands dirty with any real-world issues.


See raggy can rag on other peoples religions all he wants but when someone rags on his religion, or hell when someone just disagrees with his religion he gets his panties all in a wad. How dare we have freedom of religion :roll: (for some reason my apostraphy isnt working so bear with me on that)

This is the only thing I fully disagree with in your post. You're pretty smart and open-minded, Anubis, and you haven't fallen for the atheism yarn. But the quoted statement -- I can tell you as a Christian believer -- is simply not correct. It is with great respect that I disagree with you on that point.

I am not blind. I see. I see very clearly, due to the sight Jesus has given me. And closed? Quite the contrary! I'm so fully secure in my beliefs, that I actually get very close to other beliefs out of bold curiosity.
