bowral, Of course you know more than me and I know little, no probs. with that. But I do know that its child abuse and children should not be exposed to any type of religious indoctrination. It is carried far into their adulthood and with much pain later in life some break free.
Small story, Met a clasmate after about 43 years, a good Christian. Said he had been a great sinner,his words, sins of the flesh, worrying about his destination, ie. heaven or hell. Around 60 years old and still suffering the religious indoctrination of a child. No Sin......no religion.
If a company like BHP talks about a product like Heaven in the afterlife with no proof, they would be hauled to the courts of law. Religion gets away with it.
My dislike is for all organised religion. My religion is mine and I will take my chances.
In the bible,just about the only prophecy fulfilled.... Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. Matthew. 10-34 What a ripper, not.
