Interesting perspective on religion

[John_Russell_Jr]

… is it saying that feelings and emotions are the only real things of importance and we get equal doses overall regardless ??? , i disagree on all points , love is the purpose and not feeling good or having happy emotions , and god balances all out perfectly , man just stuffs all up , gods will which i call the equilibriium of god , always makes sure everything is as infinitely perfect as possible , and even this great mess of a fallen world is so fixed it never happewned , we exp it , but it is outsaide reality , and in the end we get reality or the garden of eden back , and the beginning pre - fall and the regaining of reality are joined together and this messy middle bit disappears , same for the angelic world , so god has already fixed all , this theory is a waste of time your proposing , the catholic church is gods answer to giving us reality back which will fix every single bad prob , not this blokes ideas , be a part of the solution dear friend – become catholic , don’t contribute to the endless probs that hold up gods work of giving us back reality …

Hi Thepeerreviewer, i came back to Catholicism because of science.
If the science does not lead you to Catholicism or any other particular religion please do not suppose that no others’ scientific experience will lead them to these places either. They do.

There is a tendency among a certain class of people to believe all religion is the same and incorrect and that the modern progressive thing to do is for everyone to give up their own religion and adopt some undefined vague commonality.

That is a recipe for disaster, fragmentation and social breakdown.

If you look at all of the communist regimes of the 20th century and throw in the National Socialists ((Nazis) as well you see they all had the idea of getting rid of particular religions and building a new state civic philosophy.

As Karl Marx said - "men indeed make their own future, but they do not make it as they would wish.

Why is it “plausible” that the universe is fair? That’s a human prejudice. And why would the absurd and unverifiable theory that sadness and happiness have to equal out (by what standard of measurement?) at the end of life guarantee it? Are emotions the only measure of morality? Is your one commandment, “if it feels good (or bad), do it”? Are you really suggesting that some cosmic agency actually interferes with the course of our lives and directs our choices so that everybody gets an equal measure of joy and sorrow by the end? Come on.
I’ve already read as much of your book as I want, so please spare me the endless posts regurgitating it. Just give a simple answer if you have one. Thanks.
