I’m just a very lucky, dirty old man with a wonderful wife. I have opinions on most everything, but will not force them on anyone other than family and friends. They have to suffer with me as no one else.

Religion

Religion is the invention of man; for man to understand what is beyond his comprehension. It is a wondering path to misunderstanding with sidetracks and detours.

G-D has no need for religion.

Faith is not a religion. You can have religion without faith and faith without religion. Faith is belief, religion is a structure.

Any individual may place their beliefs into a system. This is not to say it is a religion. It seems to me that a religion is a system of beliefs and rituals set forth en masse. In order for an individual’s belief system to be called a religion, the beliefs and rituals would be canonized with standardization for others to follow. If you look at any practitioner of any religion in the world, I am sure you will find the individual’s belief system does not match completely with the religion they are a member of. This is true of any organization, either religious or political. An ideology, of any sort, one exercises will have areas of conflict, even if it is completely ones own.

True or Fiction, Known or Unknown, proved or not proven, all religions are based on the unknown and require you to believe or have faith that they are correct with their best quess of what is. There is no doubt when you mix 2 parts of hydrogen and 1 part of oxygen that you will have Water.
