New religions are needed. The old ones are fallacious.

[Lacewing]

I'm sorry, but I just keep lighting the lights and following the formalities of spiritual truth, even when it's all for naught.

I'm guessing that most of us are sorry that you keep looping in nonsense.

Well, that's not exactly what the spokesman for the Spiritual Counterfeits Project said.

Bob... seriously... are you EVER going to stop being a total nutjob? What's it going to take? Please tell us. Is it money you want? Do you need a visit from Jesus, himself? What would it take to get you to stop repeating your same old stupid stories... and finally, after 30 years, experience some FORWARD MOMENTUM?

Are you suggesting that what the SCP said is just a story, like a fairytale?

[Harbal]

OK, then answer me this, what keeps me from buying a bottle of liquor on Sunday?

You can buy it on Sunday in Britain but that's not really much good to you, is it. Why not just buy an extra bottle on Saturday, problem solved.

I don't understand what you're saying... so yes, I'll guess it's more of your nonsensical fairytale.

See Harbal, this is why I love you. You don't fiddlefart around with imaginary obstacles -- you simply walk around them.

And this is why I love you, Lacewing, you truly appreciate me.

with a sound premise and universally acceptable themes that resonate with the common good a new religion might be successful. And perhaps celebrations of the human spirit would preserve the dignity and heart of good will to others in life.
A lot of non believers celebrate the holidays and make them a time of charitable spirit.
Most of all i want to preserve the benevolent spirit in american society as it exists in all walks of life non religious and religious people.

The subjective experience of the soul demands a new religion based on truthfulness compassion and the quest for what is holy and divine. Spirituality and life eternal deserve pursuit.
A church of the quest for life and truth true and just would be a joy to attend.
Such a noble idea as preaching and teaching. The betterment of the soul towards a holy understanding to bring joy and peace to the people. These are ideas that deserve new forms of religion. The old religions are filled with delusions and hypocritical judgments.
But the ideas of preaching and teaching are beautiful ones. Humanity needs to discover the joy of truthfulness and goodness.
Especially in a dying world where evil is rampant.

When Judgement Day comes, religion will be abolished and science and knowledge are being made as substitutes, that's why John says that there are no temples in the New Jerusalem.

many religions are counterfeit. Not all. A religion rooted in reality that invokes a higher power isnt counterfeit. Aspiring to the divine isnt counterfeit.
Whats delusional is most major religions. Yet the conviction that each human has a soul is not counterfeit.
Concepts of compassion love faith benevolence joy peace care charity are not counterfeit because many of us feel these things in our hearts.
Not counterfeit. Everyone has inner circles and outer circles and the outside world. Thats all their is time for. But if we make life better for all than we make life better for ourselves.
Religion based on charity can fill that void. Thats the need for new genuine religions.
Their is power in religion. We just need a purer power.
Science is good for else reasons and can never fill the void that a genuine religion can provide.
Religion based on reality and fact. It wouldnt be in our brains if it wasnt important.
Science is very poor at subjectivity and understanding consciousness. They are failures at it. Narrow with tunnel vision.
Philosophy also doesnt explain 1% of the subjective experience.
The concept of truth is in total darkness. The concept of a church and an honest pure morality and freedom of speech sorely neglected. Religion that is true takes the deepest of commitments. Instead of despotism and apathy on the weekends why not found a genuine well conceived religion dedicated to learning about the human experience.
None religious people wouldnt bother but people of charitable heart would and thats as it should be.
Western culture is dead spiritually. Only one third of people here live joyful lives. And i myself would love to stamp out immorality and destructive living. But to do that takes the power of a true religion. To give people choices and options.
To empower the human will to be free.

All religions are counterfeit.
None have any basis in fact.
Religion is the death of the mind.

many religions are counterfeit.

No, all religions are counterfeit.
