Nicely put, Grace. If we could remove the ego from the human equation, we’d make a gigantic leap forward.

Peace.

When will people all realize we are in the same boat? Even Jesus Christ on the cross felt that he was perhaps all alone. Gov.Palin wanted to have books removed from the Alaska library that had any reference to doubting God. She would have to have had the Bible removed too. The only things we know for sure are the scientific truths. It is said that there is a mystical thread that connects all religions. Every religion has had some mystic that didnt fit into the box. These spiritual types seem to enlighten their own religious leaders. So far of what I can tell, the Dalai Lama is the most relevant spiritual teacher of our time. He says that in order for the humans to continue on Earth, we must overcome our differences. As humans, we have much in common with our fellow humans. If we focus on the things that we all share in common, then we can overcome all that would keep us at war. For sure, something that is greater than a human created the variation and beauty of this planet. To this I am humbled. I am done with being humbled by humans who claim to have the answers. Very few humans inspire this sort of humility.

There is my delayed response to a question that may never go out of style.

Depravity and barbarity are two good words to describe major aspects of our world, Swan.

It is hard to rise above such things when we live in such a cesspool!

Please don’t let all the depravity and barbarity of modern life get you down, David G. I know I know which groups to blame.

God is with whoever needs a fig leaf to hide their latest crimes against humanity. It is amazing how stating that ‘God is on our side’ makes everything alright.

Adina, as usual your contribution is valuable and insightful.

Swans, in some areas my enlightenment is more than I really need. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss!

Kvatch, what a shame they were not more popular. The world would've saved itself so much grief and killing.

Cheers and Peace.

Who do you think God’s Children are?

The atheists--like Zeus they banished their father (Kronos) in order to take their place at the top of pantheon.

You sound enlightened enough, Mr. David G. Thank you for this presentation, and for giving us a chance to answer your question.

Dear David, you forgot the best item of all: "The Hybrid". I love the "Hybrid". He smartly collects, adapts, modifies and propagates his own version of "universal truth" religion. To explain myself better: it looks like this: he is a typical modern christian (most of the times), with his perennial references to Jesus , mixing quotes from Bible and Some Om Mani Padme Hum Sri Guru, Dalai Lama enlightened one, practicing a latest trend in Christianity in some Christian Meditation Bikram in New Jersey.... he had never read any of the texts he is quoting, but he is too busy gathering adepts granting access to Universal Truth Within, in exchange for a small fee (VISA, PAY PAL accepted) at his Non Lucrative Site, where you can find the Cheats and Tricks of Easy path to Enlightement.

That s the best Guy. Listen to him also. He s the latest trend. Church is outdated, and they could learn a lot from this guy.

People , beware of this new religion...

It s something like the Globalization. Religion's entrepreneurs, so prolific throughout the history, couldn t miss this opportunity.
Could they?
