Do you feel frustrated because you squander energy and time on religion and don’t see desired results?
.
The religionists are watching the rivers return from whence they come, the sea, yet the sea ain’t full, with the sun sending her rays of silver onto their coffers of gold.
Praying to their gods of selling and storytelling, their symbols of numbers, their ribbons of letters, and their knowing in the beginning is the word, they’re spinning and dancing ‘round their altars of scrolls under their control.
Beyond their kingdoms of money built on words, they clearly see that beyond every horizon there will always be another place to be, complete with fools on the hill, fire over water, ravens howling, dogs barking at their gold-laden caravans moving on, and on, and on, for thousands of years with no end in sight.
Their gods use words, the religionists want all other word-users to believe.
What they don’t want all other word-users to believe is that gods is a word.
Everything we have a word for is (a word). That’s not philosophy. It’s science
You may have heard or seen in the beginning is the word before.
Well, the beginning, the word, happened 13,750 years ago — the age was stone, the Sahara green, and Northern Europe under 1-mile-thick ice.
Where were their gods during the 4.65 billion wordless years Before Words on Earth?
“Religion is the opiate of the masses, a significant hindrance to reason, inherently masking the truth and misguiding followers.”
What do you suppose that means?
With the benefit of hindsight, near as I can tell, it means Karl Marx hadn’t seen anything yet.

I just want to make a short comment: faith and religion are two different things
there are many religions around the world, some good, some bad
most of the time, they train whole groups of people in a particular direction
faith is more individual, personal…
Marie-Claire, I agree with you. That is similar to I agree with you completely, except I don’t use adjectives (for your information only). I agree that faith and religion are different words, and it’s a fact that all kinds of things are being said about words depending on what is saying them, and what to believe is a question of character and preference, to each their own.
…may I ask you why you don’t use adjectives? to me it’s like painting a sunflower in white and black. It’s possible of course, but you miss the beauty of the colours!
Not sure I understand your question. Maybe because I’m not a painter, I’m a worder. An adjective describes what I describe. What’s the difference between “agree completely” and “agree”? If readers don’t know what an agreement is, how will they know what a complete agreement is? Ditto, for example, between true and really true or truly true. Besides, painting, sunflower, white, black. miss, beauty, colours — not a single adjective in there — does that mean you’re not using them either?
