Because whatever you, I or anybody else thinks about reason and enlightenment, it's about faith really, not a particular organised religion.

Didn't see it but read it as that, I think.



Divinity has no place in Christianity. The whole point is that we treat each other as equals no matter who you are. To artificially elevate certain people above others, particularly within a church is completely missing the point. My opinion obviously.

If you're going with that then, who created God?



If something had to cause the big bang then how did that thing (divine or otherwise) get there? Was there another older God who created the current God? And if so how far back do you go?



It's more reasonable to presume that the Universe has been expanding and contracting over an infinite period of time.

What if all the world's inside of your head

Just creations of your own?

Your devils and your gods

All the living and the dead

And you're really all alone?

That's not the "whole point" of what is written in the gospels as Christ's teaching.



Oh, it's an aspect, but it's a tad difficult to remove all the 'son of god' stuff and what goes with it. So in essence, you're saying that the [iBible[/i got it wrong - even that Jesus got it wrong.



Religion has always been a pick 'n' mix affair, as you illustrate.
