James > Or could it possibly be that humanity is "hardwired" to seek God? To me it is evident that there had to be a supreme being behind the creation of the cosmos. I think you miss the point. In fact, I can do no better than quote Jesus himself bartleby.com >>Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s<< Indeed, the American Constitution makes clear that freedom to worship must not be allowed to interfere with secular matters nor the dictates of any particular religion be allowed to influence government -- and the reverse. Indeed, this has now changed and, as we have seen, the election has been dominated by a particular religious group. I am not suggesting that people should not be free to worship their God in any way they wish, or not at all, if that is their choice -- what I am suggesting is that people appear to have abandoned their concern for secular matters eg social security, medicare, education -- liberty, itself -- indeed, the Amendments to the Constitution (Bill of Rights), in favour of religious "values" such as homosexuality, abortion etc. This is the gist of the piece by Spengler. atimes.com > The most difficult thing for man to accept is the simplicity of accepting a personal relationship with whatever they understand God to be Yes, and, as we see now -- and many times previously, man has attempted to change that relationship so that instead of him having to do God's bidding in all humility, God is now answerable to man. In fact, that is the whole purpose of the aspiration to political power via the path of religion. George W Bush is not only Caesar -- he is also the Pope.

>>In our self righteous, greed filled world man just had to phoney it up. >>James would that be with or without the benefit of the washing machine spin cycle. I understand you need either viagra or cialis if you want to "phoney it UP" James. Do a google search...and by canadian with US$ before the dollar completely self-destructs. What a foul mouthed fundy you've turned out to be. Do you provided photocopied duplicates of your SI efforts for "ice breakers on Sunday AM when you stand up before the young adult class to "preach the bible?" Hypocrite!
