Freethinkers/Atheists/Naturalists Unite

MsDemeanor,

This is just my thoughts on your above post.

There is just one higher power or God/Godess - however you want to acknowledge it. God has no gender because God is a spirit broken down into 3 parts Father, Son, & Holy Ghost (Christain perspective). God gave the Christain's the Ten Commandments to follow. And that is pretty much ignored in my opinion.

God is love. Life is full of chaos because of our free will. If people were more loving, kind, and peaceful we would not have wars, or children going to bed without heat or food. People would reach out and take care of each other. This is not the kind of life I imagine God wanted for us to have. Just like earth. We are slowly destroying mother earth by what we are doing to it. Greed, lack of respect, chaos, and a lack of love.

As for the different Bible's, etc. Some people pray to God differently. As some people learn differently. They may be differently written, but in the end mean the very same thing. It is like a children's Bible vs. an adult Bible vs. a visual Bible. Some are written by different perspectives. One may be written by someone living now vs. a follower of Christ. It is interpretation.

Kings and queens may rule countries, but I am not sure I understand this part of your post.

Off the top of my head, a couple of kings in England named Henry and James had their own versions of a bible written. Henry even started a whole new religion. I'm sure many other leaders have modified various and assorted texts over the centuries. After all, when a king says that he wants to rewrite a bible, who's going to argue with him?

The rest of your post really doesn't clear up anything. You discuss one of the many gods that people pray to, then reinforce my comment that there are a bunch of different bibles written by a bunch of different people. Again, if there were a god there would be just one and there's just be one accompanying set of texts. It's silly to me to think that a god would allow a bunch of folks to misinterpret a text that he/she/it wrote and then spend years hating and killing each other over the different translations.

How is "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost" not gender-specific? Two of the three are male, and it's fair to assume that the ghost of a male is male ghost.

I'm not trying to start an argument here, just saying how all this stuff looks to someone peering in from the outside.
