I have come to the conclusion that this is all the religious are CAPABLE of given their realm of understanding.

[Once I tried to explain to my mother that I wondered if Jesus even existed. She became visibly shaken, and mumbled something about me going to Hell for this blasphamy.]

I told Lindy once that I liken religion to school grades. The masses are in Kindergarten. They allow the 'teacher' (religion) to do their thinking for them.....and the deeper the intrinsic understanding of freewill, spirituality emerges...and relgion becomes archaic, almost silly...[in our eyes they might as well believe in the tooth fairy.]

Once someone has reached this level of understanding, it becomes ludicris that religion is still flourishing....but I feel we are all where we need to be.

Eventually you will resolve these incredibly VAST differences in beliefs...You are at a higher level of understanding...and they will be too, some day...or in future lifetimes....we are each responsible for our own spiritual timeline.
