Jesus backs this up in John 10; he is quoted as saying",It says in your law, “I said you are gods”, so why do you accuse me of blasphemy when I call God my father , when your fathers did"? It sounds to me like the word god doesn’t mean creator of all things like it does now. but just a man of power. ---

> [@dreamer](#): > > You know **Seahawk** - the cool thing about religious faith is that anyone can say anything about what their beliefs are and what they think everyone else’s should be, but there is NOTHING you could ever say that would change the mind of anyone who truly knows the truth and knows what they believe is the truth for them. > > So that being said - JESUS IS THE WAY - THE TRUTH AND THE LIGHT - AND ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE 😃 > > And also May God Bless you and help you find your way… I don’t believe it is right to criticize a person for their beliefs,but one cannot say in truth that they know the truth, just that they believe it is truth. What is truly known can be proven, and religious belief is just that, based on belief.They don’t need truth to believe. Belief can, and does help many people to get through rough times,and they have the right just as anyone to their beliefs as long as they don’t harm others or force their beliefs on others. Of course, one can not be forced to believe anything, they can say they do, but in their heart and mind they still have just their own beliefs. Some countries try to force people from practicing their beliefs, but it doesn’t stop their beliefs. ---

> [@](#): > > Then vote Libertarian, inclusion of religion and state in government is explicitly forbidden. Lol, best post in the thread. Disbelieving in evolution, letting states ban abortion, gay marriage and set up parochial schools and campaigning unremittingly for prayer in schools… Unless you meant anarcho-libertarian? ---

DOWN goes Frazier!!! My problem with some religious people is the way they throw persecution around; and have screaming tantrums because other people are not the same religion , or have told them to get the fuck off their property or throw their pamphlets into the trash or recycling bins.
