Mostly a lot of folk’s tales ended up in holly books. If we need a new religion, we need a holy book which will include all rules.

We might have a paragraph (in Holy book) about big (post) flood and how did St. FreeFreddy came up with idea of leaving a forum for couple of days. LOL LOL LOL

Why do we need to have rules and penalties for a religeon? Why can't it be simply a philosphy? An source of inspiration for attaining the highest level of fufillments in one's life?

From it's start religion had to do two major things (talking about old civilization). Make some rules to settle still kind of wild human nature, and to educate people (teach them about good and bad).

What about afterlife? (It all comes to mine realm LOL)

Usually a religion starts as a source of knowledge and divinity and stuff. Then some corrupt people take slowly over it, as always, and the religion becomes a way to oppress and rob people of their possessions.
Best example of that is the "holy inquisition" of the middle ages...

Thats why I don't believe in organized religion... not that Judaism really has much of an organization... not like Islem or christianity anyway.

I agree, but everyone should make their own philosophy, not base their lives on the idea of someone else.

My philosophy is: I am great but not everyone will see that, so the best i can do is try to educate.

no i thing i dont recruit anyone
but if someone wants to be recruited
he or she should act like i wrote in the thanks topic
(giving me all money and stuff :whistle: )

may be religion is the wrong word for a topic
maybe we could just collect some philosophies

the new religions of today are:
nature, realism, science...
normally everything based by making a picture of everything(God)
which makes human mightier than ever

so nearly everybody thinks, that he is the best(not in everything,
but in some speciall thing like best driver or sth)
we all know to much, and people who know to much are dangerous :blink:

ehm yes :Tom:
another thing, if their is a need of a book for a new religion
maybe someone writes down this topic LOL

bye :bye: bye

That is not entirely correct.
Many great scientists were religious people, especially in computer science.

Einstein was a very religious person as evident from a lot of his sayings (a devout believer in the theories of Baruch Spinoza, if I'm not mistaken) and yet will anybody claim his science was flawed?

Science and religion can live together if they live side by side (as seen during the rennaisance, horisontalism) instead of one above the other (as seen during the Dark Ages, verticalism)

Stroggy,
Should we mention couple (actually it was much more then couple) great minds that were killed because church did not agree with their discoveries?

So,
Albert was happy to be born in other part of 19th centaury, otherwise he would make nice roast...
