Perhaps a lot of the confusion would be eliminated if we took the word religion and threw it in to a dumpster. When we say we have freedom of religion, what we are really saying is that we are free to believe whatever we want as long as we do not violate the life, liberty or property of another human being.
If you believe that God has blond hair and blue eyes or that she is a left handed albino it really doesn't matter.
Organized religion divides people according to what they believe. Because we are free to believe what we want it is impossible to get everyone to agree to adhere.
If everyone agreed to respect the lives, liberty and property of everyone else and never sought to compel others to do their bidding we would be well on our way to peace of earth.
Adhering to strict religious doctrines cause people to become divided according to what they believe and causes the conflicts that lead to never ending wars.

I have always stuck with the fact that Christianity is not a religion,it's a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ,and God His Father.Jesus did not come to start a religion,He came to "Seek and to save the lost,and to lay down His life for the many.Religions say do,do,do.Christianity says "It is finished." It has been done.
The Bible, in the matter of Jesus being crucified was no matter what an execution, as Christ threw the money changers out of the Temple, and this immediately monkey wrenched the Temples cash flow, this would be tantamount to throwing out the equivalent of Janet Yellen of the Federal Reserve Bank, and the tainted FRN's. The Temple banksters were outraged at such a notion as Jesus basically said God is above your tithes, and does not need your tithes, the temple does, and they are sinful in their greed. Jesus rightly said God your Father doesn't need your money, he is so far away from such a notion, Jesus's messages were to love each other as that is the highest honor we could give to God.
The Temple leaders went to the Roman Governor Pilot who found Jesus harmless, and found no fault in Jesus, and was willing to release Jesus, but the Temple leaders, who as I mentioned were sinful in their greed, and sought Jesus execution through crucification, so the Temple Banksters sought out Judas Iscariot and basically bribed him with 30 pieces of silver to identify Jesus with the Biblical kiss of death, Christ was exposed to the Romans for procescution, who took him to their Jail, this led to his trial. Which was a sign of the Temple Banksters further desire to force the followers of Christ to exchange their Roman currency for Temple currency by the process of laundering the Roman currency through the Temple to "clean it up" so as to curry favor from God, which as Jesus was saying God doesn't need your money, only your love for each other.
He died because the Temple leaders bribed the crowd who demanded Jesus execution in the hope the Temple Banksters would give them even more currency, which it isn't clear if that happened, and so Christ died for the sins of the Temple Banksters and the corruption of not only the Temple Banksters but of the Jews who condemned him. They are the chosen ones not because they are good, but because they denied Christ in his pure love of us all in spite of our selves.
I will catch hell for telling this to all here, but that's alright, because God knows what I am saying still is happening to this very day, Wallstreet and the Central Banks of the world are still up to doing business in their sinful ways, but there is a day fast approaching where even all the wealth in the world no matter whats it's form will not save us, or the Banksters from the day of Judgement, and the wrath of God is coming, and his will to be a forgiving God will not be challenged by even the Banksters, they too will fall before the will of God and the people around the world will seek to right the wrongs done to us a Nation and the World as a people by these false leaders whose greed will be their undoing. His death was caused by greed, theirs and ours, and yet God in spite of us and our ways, still loves us and his Greatest Commandment is to this day and is forever to love one another. If that isn't clear, then Christ's death was truly our sin as a race. Politics has done more harm then it ever could in good. So Christ died for our sins for denying his redemption of US. Are we even worthy now today of his forgiveness? That is in your own heart to decide if you are worthy of his forgiveness.
To all who can see this, may you and your families have a joyful Easter Sunday, for those who cannot, then your the ones who are lost.. At least that is how I see it, now go forth and cast the money changers out of your life, lest your loose it to their greed.
OUR FAITH, RELIGION AND GOD, NOW LETHAL FOR THIS MODERN ERA.
.
There are many religions in world existing with philanthropic ensign, but embroiled within a communal and political tradition as a part of human culture.
In fact, Religions is a Natural law, only to help us to evolve within a natural process, on basis of humanity and peace, not to face the rot of massacre for the illusive fame.
Our faith is a lightening aspect of our fear that appears from the dark aspects of our lust, passion and infinite desire. Thus how God and his sacred religious teachings would help us to survive from the sins that creating the basis for massacres.
Fortunately, the omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscience our great almighty Father had sent his lots of prophets, Messenger and even his Son to suffer among us for our redemption from sin. He created this beautiful creation, What more do we all need to exist in this world.
While searching the true facts that would unify the religious teachings for the unification of the world Elite, I found the majority of the individuals and the organizations just as UNITED RELIGIOUS INITIATIVE, BAYLOR UNIVERSITY (RELIGIOUS STUDIES) etc, and all such organizations of the world are mostly seeking the solution within their own inherited system of thoughts. So within these circumstances, it is not possible to clarify the meaning of religion for the unification of world Elite. But now we cannot give up our hopes at this current period of the rise of religious conflicts that creating the basis for war and terrorism in entire world.
Mid-East, South-East, the clash between State and atheism are emerging as the most lethal crisis of this modern human era. It means, instead of approaching all the God teachings (the basis for faith) for a “unanimous conclusion” of the religious conflicts, the majority is honestly the religious definitions for their own fame, bliss and prosperity.
Let us move to the facts of peace and prosperity by exploring beyond our inherited thoughts. It is the only one way path, that we have always ignored within the mazes of theological and scientific insight.
SIGN AND SHARE TO SAVE THE BASIS OF THE FAITH.

Or not, that is the question..which is better personal choice, or is it better to have no choice? Thomas Jefferson was quite proud of the 1st amendment, and he dictated that his wish was to be remembered for his contribution for having written it, and it was his wish for that sentiment to be carved into his tombstone. You can find it online easy enough.
Yes Eric, it is only the personal choice, that appears above humanity, disgracing the basis of all our sacred religious teachings.
I won't sign this petition, many Americans, I being one of them, disagree with the presence of the UN on our soil. The UN simply hasn't done what we have to ensure freedom around the world, in fact if it came down to it, what other Country has a Constitution that basically hasn't tried to copy ours? Plagiarizing our Constitution doesn't mean others have earned what we gave to ourselves. And we shouldn't try to give away what we did for our selves to other Countries, freedom works best when it's earned by those who have earned for them selves. Freedom isn't free. It came at too high a price for us to simply gift to those who haven't earned it for them selves.
Dear Eric, I agree with you. But i believe, presently U N is only the one emblem for world unification against the human crisis ( war and terrorism ). Now how the great Americans navigating the world against the rise of terrorism, could ignore this petition that designed to combat the basis of terrorism and the clashes between state and atheism?
Freedom of religion means, freedom of humanity, that's above all the religion. Please once review the petition, i believe you would like to sign it. Most of those who have already signed this petition are from America, Please let us explore beyond our inherited thoughts to combat the basis for war and terrorism. Thanks.
The UN hasn't done anything to lessen our worlds risks to terrorism, after 9/11 what was the stance of the UN to reduce America's risk, or for that matter what other Country has come to our defense ever? The answer is: None.
I know one thing for certain will drive home our stance is this, our current resident, please note the lack of the letter P in the use of the word resident, and that would be for him to speak to the UN, or preferably another President because there is no way he will ever launch in our defensive retailation, and just make the following absolutely solid and unquestionable statement, "We as a world leader have been reluctant in the past to even mention our launch capability, and I am reluctant to mention this topic today, but since we have the capability to defend our nation, we will no longer be reluctant to do so with what ever weapon systems we deem necessary to strike any Country who we have determined to have attacked us, so if nation or group of nations who have assaulted our County in yet another terrorist attack, we will never be afraid to use our launch capability and without hessitation to defend our Country in retaliation if need be."Note the use of the key word: retaliation. And close it with the warning "We have done so before, and we can and will do so if another attack occurs again, and without any fear to do so." And then leave the podium without further comment. What good is such launch capability if we lack the guts to do so? Deterrent's only work if you have the guts to use them. Pakistan and India both have nuclear weapons, and they know each other has them, so that deterrent works because it is a balanced option. Iran is HIGHLY likely to be either already able to launch, or it will very soon. And Israel most certainly DOES have them and has launch capability RIGHT now, and they will respond in kind without hesitation. And if we don't counter such threats in an obvious balanced response, then we will be hit first. Deterrent's only work if your willing to use them with out hesitation.
India hasn't used theirs ever, and neither has Pakistan, so it works, and it has worked for 70 plus years between all nuclear nations to date, playing nice with terrorists hasn't ever worked, so it's up to us to decide who lives and who dies if it comes down to it.
Tell you what, if India get's rid of theirs and Pakistan get's rid of theirs on a one for one basis, then the rest of the worlds powers might just see the wisdom of following up and do the same, then we might have a better chance of avoiding such idiotic use of such weapons I wish we never had built, but until that day comes, I fear we are stuck with what we, and by that I mean all nuclear nations have built. The Japanese built and fueled a couple of mixed metal oxide fuel reactors, and they did so on the worst place known to them on Earth, and look what that got them? Plutonium wasn't meant to be by nature, or God would have made it when he made the Earth. It's just not a natural element, it's completely man made, and we know the evil that lurks in the heart's of men don't we?
Mean while WE MUST either all wipe out such weapons, or they will surely wipe us all out regardless of Foreign polices or politics, or religions. We will either destroy them, or these weapons will surely destroy us together. It's either/or, with no room for error. Knowing our past leads me to conclude the future isn't looking very good right now.
Freedom of religion isn't the question here, it's more like freedom FROM religion is the key to peace, because what we have all seen in the last 11 years hasn't worked and it's been that way for thousands of years now.
We are all right with our point of views, We, mean to say, let the politicians and the religious instructors do what ever they are practicing for our safety and peace. But we will have to explore beyond our inherited political and religious thoughts.
I mean, our money and gun power are not potential enough to combat the lethal ideologies of (ISIS, BOKO HARAM, etc) that conceals their sins behind religious narcissism that enthralled in mazes of terrestrial and political issues.To prevent the rise of terrorism, we’ll have to clarify the roots of faith and the facts of the materialism disgracing all believers and atheist alike. Till now, we are destroying the embodiment of terrorism, ignoring its brutal ideology still invincible before the entire world. How could we give up their intentions to achieve the (DIRTY BOMBS?
Money and religion are at the root of all wars . you want to believe ; believe in yourselves ; you want to go to heaven ? why ? the life God has already given you isin't enough ; how many lives do you expect ? what you've got is all you're going to get ; get over it ; or just plain do it right the first time . Time , the most valuable thing in te world . Happy Easter .
