I am not very techno savy and was looking for a snail mail address to send a query. Im a retired high school history teacher. The first week of school I would pose a question to my students and would ask them to write a paper on their position regarding the question. I wasnt so much interested in what thier position was, but in how they presented it. I would use their responses to gauge the degree of thought development, intellectual exercise and basic skills needed to assist in their further education. However, I really am interested in responses to the question, and would like to ask if it might be possible to pose it to your members for thier actual thought content?
If it is possible, I will send the question in a return email.
Sincerely
Roberta Williams

The third message from heaven…
If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Great blog absolvtely.
Like I said previously, reading Karl Marx’s teaching of Religion is the Opium of the People was my epiphany.
Religion is man made to make suffering people feel better about their living conditions by giving them an illusion that there is a higher power watching over them.
When people approach me and say god loves me, I say really.
Does he love the elderly, poor, homeless, hungry, sick, victims of war and violence across the world?
They then say bad things happen to god’s chosen people.
This is an insane assumption. A merciful god who supposedly loves me, allows me suffer greatly as proof of his love for me?
Even if that were true, I’d rather be unloved.
The truth is what can be proven. I don’t believe in something I can’t see, hear or feel.
The existence of god is one of the biggest lies sold to mankind. The people who suffer the most have been duped by this lie more than any group in society.

To add, the concept of god is similar to the fairytales of our childhood like santa claus, the easter bunny and the tooth fairy.
It’s a false comfort. I wanted to desperately hold on to the belief there was a god for so long, but at some point I finally realized this was just a fairytale I didn’t want to let go of.
At the age of 43, I’m a big girl now and finally grew out of the idea of the existence of god.
