I think it's a temple, does that count?
Not sure which of my belief structures that came from.
Although it's not mentioned in your set of believes - it's "Paulisic"(he wrote it in Romans or Korinthians. I can look it up, if you care).
Hope, you're not offended now ...

Oh goody! A new one to add to my list!
...I've never heard of it, though. Maybe I should look it up.

I must wax on because I'm having new thoughts (ouch!) Science is based on observations of nature, which can be controlled and repeated. Religion is, maybe??, based on the experiences of people, the emotional and spiritual insides of human beings, and no way is that repeatable. And no way should it be!
Hi Mal4Prez,
I guess, that summs up pretty well the problem with faith/science. If God exists, is he more like a "methaphysical law of nature", that we can "prove" or "misprove" (ist there such a word?), or is he more like a "person", that we can relate to, have experiences with and get loved from.
Its just totally diametrical concepts ...

But maybe what should be taught is morals. Seems alot of them are being lost.
Huh? Contradiction?
But whow, an american "Native"! I grew up wearing Indian-costumes on Halloween (or the German version of it, anyways). Most Germans grew up with a very positive attitude towards "american Indians", since we have a somewhat popular writer (Karl May), who wrote "travel stories" about travels in America (he never did travel, though). He was born in 1842, but there are still movies made about the caracters, he created (among them some very popular "Indians" - the most popular role was plaid by a frenchman, though - ah, all mixed up.).
Just thought, you might find that's fun to know...

Good point. Continuing with my new thoughts (so much more fun than working...) Maybe God is both of these things you say, because he/she/it is whatever a person wants and needs, and there are soooo many people.
I like how Tristan said it, way up the thread. Something about how we create God, but the God we create can do wonderful things for us. As long as we understand that the God we each believe in is ours, and not necessarily anyone else's.
Which differs from science, because science is the same for everyone. Anyone who holds out a rock and lets go will see it drop according to gravity. Nothing personal about that!

I understand what you’re saying but actually, Judaism was not created by man; it was created by God. That is, God wrote the Torah and basically created the religion. Of course, that depends on faith as well. Just saying. Of course, the Torah and Judaism in general is all about interpretation, so…technically, some of the different aspects of the religion could be false. But the basis is said to come straight from God. Again, totally based on faith.
Well, that's just the point of all three "revelationary" religions. Jesus is said to "be God himself" and the Koran (or Q'ran or how you spell it) is believed by moslems to be originally dictated by God. That's why a true Moslem can only read it in Arabic language ('caus everything else would falsify the word of God).
So there you go ...

Mornin' all.
Thanks Esther for mentioning Karl May.
I did not mention that I am Native American, (though I prefer indian or native, stupid political correctiness).
As for "be God himself", I think that may have been twisted by too many folks in the past. But logical, loving folks can really benefit from it.
Glad to see you made it out of troll country. Might wanna get a checkup ASAP.
