    what would you include?

    It occured to me that there are a lot of thinking, intelligent and good people that use this board..........our views may differ.........some may believe in a God, others definitely dont and some sit firmly on the fence.......but what if we removed God from the equation......

    What if we as members of this board had to suggest and formalise a 'way of living' that would be beneficial to all of mankind; what would your ideas be?

    I know some people may be offended to use the term religion as this immediately denotes Gods involvement.......so lets call it the 'Experience'.......

    Diversity. We all live on this planet and we should do it sharing and caring equally.

    Freedom. To do, think and express ourselves as we wish as long as we don't harm others,nature or the environment.

    I once read religion is an organized system of thoughts or beliefs. So I would start my religion with enjoy myself and my life and hurt no one.

    I also heard God stood for good orederly direction. So If you dont get good orderly direction from your religion, you might not have God. It's kind of like a dog chasing its tail. Or is dog a dyslexic God. I dont know.

    I think the basic Golden Rule should be at the center of any religion. Of course, that only works if you're not into anything harmful . . .

    No God and no Satan. No heaven and no hell. No separate countries, just one global brotherhood.

    Charles Davis (a Catholic priest, then ex-priest) wrote Question of Conscience about why he left the church and why religions are a flawed vehicle of worship. How when more then a few get together, things fall apart.

    A little slow going but worth the read, not to be confused with Ray Franz' Crisis of conscience who recommended I read the book.

    It would seem that way, wouldn't it!
