Gods , physical or inanimate, in one form or another have been intrinsically tied and created together within and by religions since the beginning of mans awareness in time..
I am curious as to how you separate them in the statement above Jules ??
ORIGINAL: Juliet
There is religion and there is a belief in God or a God like force or energy, whatever you want to call it ..I have never equated or connected the two, religion is a man made way to tell you how to believe, to program you ..to control you ... I have never and will never follow man made rules, besides, religion has been the cause of more misery and evil than almost anything evar!! ..but, I do believe in God, but thats just me!!

Gosh Steve, you read tension there?? ..no, ..I just have my own beliefs and I respect others beliefs too ... everyone has different life experiences and values and to me its the intolerance of others' beliefs and valuesthat is half the problem with this world ... lets say I believe in God and you dont, thats it, end of story, it doesnt mean we cant get along or I cant love you as a friend or we cant go out and have fun or ride bikes in the sun together ... yet some people will shoot each other over it ..total insanity!!

RE: Ghosts ?
That has to be the longest and most involved threadjack in HISTORY ![X(]
You folks are getting into a discussion on religious beliefs, which, along with political opinion, are as diverse as the number of people on the planet ! (and are against Forum policy)
I asked you about ghost stories .................Apparitions, bumps in the night, dishes getting thrown around, that sort of thing. It's evolved into a discussion that could get the thread locked.
C'mon, where are the spook stories.........?

Pete, I am so sorry .. I do have ghost stories too but often, fear of ridicule stops us actually posting this kinda stuff ..but it is hard to separate the two, if you believe in ghosts then you believe in the afterlife etc etc ... I know, I know politics and religion ..very iffy stuff .. ok when I am ready my ghost story will emerge!! :-)
