Are you serious about not knowing what God would want of you?

Your kidding. Right?

You cannot be saying that you, likely a moral person, does not know that any God worthy of the title would just want you to act in a moral and ethical way.

You likely know exactly what that means.

Perhaps God did invent the perfect religion. Perhaps Gnostic Christianity is the one.

Christianity made itself the highest and Gnosticism the lowest in the past and scriptures indicate that at end times, the last will be first and the first last.

I do not see Christians ever thinking that way though. They would not be as comfy telling us all how we will burn if we do not turn.

The perfect religion would be if God would let us know what God wants and not play games with humans. Maybe black and white - God's team or the Devil's team and not a whole slew of religious beliefs throughout history that often contradict each other- one god, many gods, goddess or god, sky god or mother earth, one life, reincarnation etc. Why the games? Many religions believe that life is a huge test but why?
In a perfect religion I could hear and see God's love for mankind. What is truth says the skeptic? I will always believe in a creator and these are only my thoughts.

One man's way to Heaven is another man's way to Hell.

When I was a kid I heard a US Congressman say the above- a true skeptic.
Λοιπόν, αδελφοί και οι συμπολίτες και οι στρατιώτες, να θυμάστε αυτό ώστε μνημόσυνο σας, φήμη και ελευθερία σας θα ε

I know; and since trying is the first step toward failure, you'd think I would have learned my lesson by now, eh? Wink

I think the idea of a perfect religion is quite nonsense actually. Religion is the human side of the God equation. Humans are, basically, not perfect. No matter how perfect God's message may be, there will always be room for error with people. In the human language there is always some level of ambiguity. This is even assuming the purest of motives with all involved.

Zaitsev,
 
I haven't given you a warning, formal or informal--just a reminder; although I guess if you reported yourself, someone else might. I just worry when we all start trading barbs back and forth; after all, the same portions of the brain that are responsible for intelligent posting are responsible for barb-trading as well, and we all seem to have trouble using them for both tasks at the same time; I know I have. Wink
 
Anyway, lets take this thread away from evolution (which has been thoroughly discussed in other threads) and back to the initial topic--or perhaps, since the initial topic was a bit...er...broad, we can take it back to the last semi-on-topic thing any of us said. Does anyone recall? LOL

Dangerously close to trolling, Zaitsev (VII-B-3). Please review the COC.

I'm sorry you think I am so "very gullible," and even sorrier that your only stated reason for doing so involves my sheeplike willingness to "follow the institutional control mechanisms" of others. Frankly, I think we can all benefit from thoroughly studying the history and theology underlying institutional religion. For my part, I would respectfully ask you to research Christian ecclesiology.

While I agree that Zagros' comments were poorly worded and a bit insulting, I would advise you to remove the sentence I have quoted above. Not only is it tacky, it comes very close to violating VII-B-8 of the COC (tone of contempt). While I think Zagros' comments were utterly misguided, he has always acted in a wonderfully impartial--and consequently quite noble--fashion in his capacity as a moderator.
 
Frankly, I don't see all that much good coming out of continuing this particular line of dialogue in what was previously a perfectly fruitful thread.

It's always a shame to see a once noble moderator resort to vaguely veiled personal attacks. You only find yourself arguing semantics because you lack the ability to argue the point. Your statement, although poorly worded, was actually very specific. You referenced quite clearly to the 'chain of human evolution'. I'm sorry if I "offended the fragile myths you take for fact".
