Richard Dawkins is helping speed up the demise of religion

My precious lambs, With his book, The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins goes out to show that there probably isn't a god. He said that it's impossible to disprove the existance entirely but most of the things attributed to gods can be answered by science. He goes on to say that religion is one of the...

The goal of religion should be enlightenment

My sweet lambs, That's what I think anyway. Religious leaders should be encouraging their flocks to become more educated and aware. This awareness should include introspection and a seeking of god from within. Here's the thing. If they were to do this and be truly helpful to their congregations,... Sign in to see full entry.

How do you know that your religion is the true word of god?

My sweet lambs, That would have to be my question for the lower levels of the religious followers who try to convert people to their religion out of the goodness of their hearts. We've talked about the motivations of the upper levels of religion and I think that everyone agrees that most religions... Sign in to see full entry.

What is the motivation of the average Joe Religion in conversion?

My dear lambs, That was put forth yesterday in the comments and I have given it some thought. The church itself obviously gains power and money from gaining converts. We've covered that and we all understand that. Anyone who denies it and denies that those are two of the strongest motivations behind... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Sunday so I guess I'm going to go to church

My precious lambs, You see, if I go to church each Sunday, then I can say I'm a good person while I continue to live my life anyway that I want. It's pretty cool. It's so much easier than being a good person. That takes work. I think that Sunday is losing it's sacredness. Our world is becoming a... Sign in to see full entry.

Have you ever thought about the good that religious people could do?

My sweet lambs, Does this ever occur to you? It occurs to me and all I can do is shake my head. First, let me say that some churches do some good. Some and some. Having said that, let's get to the heart of the matter. Do you have any idea of how many hours are spent in religious services? Do you... Sign in to see full entry.

Why isn't there just one church?

My dear lambs, Now that I think about it, why isn't there just one church? Or at the very least, only one Christian church? If there was only one savior (we now know differently) and he started His church here on earth, why isn't it still going? We do religious people feel a need to get together?...

I have had suggestions of, "Religious people are ignorant and oblivious"

My sweet lambs, I was looking for a word yesterday and these two words were suggested. They have such a negative feeling to them even though they are true. Maybe if phrased such as this: People are ignorant of the origins of their church. People are oblvious about the origins of their church. What... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't mean to say that religious people are stupid, not really.

My precious lambs, I would never say that. For a couple of reasons. First, it's downright rude. Second, it's too big of generalization. Third, I used to be in a religion. Fourth, I don't want to alienate bloggers and lose any clicks. Of course clicks had to come into this, this is a religion after... Sign in to see full entry.

So I'm reading along in my history book this last weekend

My dear lambs, I took a quiz Sunday, a multiple choice test yesterday, and I have an essay test today. Pray for me my congregation that I'm able to pull it all off. I was reading about U.S. expansion off the continent and was surprised to see that there was a revival of the Manifest Destiny. We were... Sign in to see full entry.
