I have been reading freerepublic for about a month and every single time i read the articles on this website i become insanely frustrated with the ignorance of not only the writers but the readers' responses. First of all you cannot prove or disprove a religion..AT ALL. ALL religions are conceived of by MAN. Even 3000 years ago people were not stupid. A man who wants to create a following must created a belief on the basis of its own ability to become an acceptable reality. Men who create religions are geniuses. They know that no human is stupid enough to believe there is a God or a religion with no consequences or rules involved. So therefore we have the ten commandments. Therefore budhists are vegetarian. Since the brain of humans became coherent we've known there is no good without bad. What intelligent human being would invent a religion where everything was accepted including murder and rape and thievery and expect to get a large following? From what i gather the person that wrote this and the people commenting on it haven't the faintest idea that religion is completely based on the egoism of man and humanity's fear of the unknown. The only way to actually PROVE that religion is TRUE is for the GOD of that religion to come down and just tell us in his or her or its own omnipotent voice.
Do bad you haven't noticed that Jesus did just that.
