For the most part your post was thoughtful and loving. We hear a lot of religious viewpoints from the Catholics, the Muslims and others. Throughout history, and even today, free-thinkers could not give opinions for fear of being punished in some way. So I&#39;m sorry If I came across too strongly! I hope your path leads you in the right direction; and you succeed in your endeavour.. Peace be with you, much love and happiness!http://www.englishforums.com/English/MankindSNeedForReligion/gnzmn/post.htm#566663Thu, 22 Jan 2009 20:08:36 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:566663ojo0ojo1http://www.englishforums.com/English/MankindSNeedForReligion/gnzmn/post.htm#566663http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-566663.xmlThank you, dear brotherhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/MankindSNeedForReligion/gnzmn/post.htm#566661Thu, 22 Jan 2009 20:08:36 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:566661Anonymous2http://www.englishforums.com/English/MankindSNeedForReligion/gnzmn/post.htm#566661http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-566661.xmlI hope one day mankind can move beyond all this and truly understand the universe that God created is one of love, not fear. We are not God&#39;s slaves, this is not a universe of slavery and rules - it is most likely a universe of love and forgiveness. Nobody needs to teach me that, nobody needs to teach anybody that. Your world religions (most of them) are appauling, they preach fear and retribution. Stop speaking in the name of God - it&#39;s blasphemy.http://www.englishforums.com/English/MankindSNeedForReligion/gnzmn/post.htmWed, 22 Apr 2009 19:08:36 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:566657ojo0ojo3http://www.englishforums.com/English/MankindSNeedForReligion/gnzmn/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments28-566657.xmlMankind’s need for religion Why do people need religion?
