    Oh yeah and he wouldn't just turn a few gallons of water into quality wine. It would on demand water to wine, or any booze for that matter.

    Sorry for the misunderstanding nvr.

    "There are many that refer to themselves as Christians that have moderated their views thanks to the compassion and love that is within them, independent of their belief.

    How can we defend Islam and Christianity and Judiasm as belief systems that are compatible with an ascending human society when so often they prescribe death for the "unfaithful"?"

    It sounds like you believe Christians are ascending with Society to me, so what's the problem then? ;)

    Nations that allow for freedom of thought and religion seem to thrive the most to me, to be, the most 'ascended' Nations, whereas there have been Christian/Muslim/Atheist dictatorships alike that kill anyone who disagrees with their beliefs and are the ones that have committed the worst atrocities.

    If my "God " or whatever the alleged great spirit in the sky is was in charge, like the native americans who believed in sharing the land with their fellow brothers and telling each person to go in peace and to go in a good way , I would feel we would each dwell in our land and respect others and leave each other to live our lives in peace. Then at the end of the day, I'd smoke a peace pipe, drink a sacred special drink, and sleep and have nice dreams of my wife. Peace to you my bro, Mr. Flipper

    We agree more than we disagree, Zico.

    I do believe humanity is ascending, but it's in spite of religion, not thanks to it.

    Did religion serve a purpose in our evolution?

    Were important cultural contibutions made by religious persons?

    Yes to both questions.

    I hope that the new generation continues to question the old dogmas.

    BTW, I'm no hater of Christians.

    I have no Atheist Bible that decrees that they be killed.

    But I do have a Judeo-Christian Bible that has lots of violent judgments against the "unfaithful".

    I would really like it if there were no more child molesters, murderers, bombers, corrupt leaders who cause more harm than good. I guess in general really wicked people.

    Imagine there's no evil
    It's easy if you try
    No hell below us
    Above us clear blue sky
    Imagine all the people
    Living for today

    Imagine there's no countries
    It isn't hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And no religion too
    Imagine all the people
    Living life in peace

    You may say that I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world will be as one

    Imagine no possessions
    I wonder if you can
    No need for greed or hunger
    A brotherhood of man
    Imagine all the people
    Sharing all the world

    You may say that I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world will live as one

    If your God were in charge...

    would bikinis be banned?

    What kind of music would be banned?

    Would meetings or public prayers be required for all?

    What would be the position on alcohol?
