So you have no idea of how religions first manifested, or for why.

It's a fascinating subject.

I do Eleanor.

It's a combination of ignorance and seeking some point to existence.

Probably most species , wherever they exist will make a god or gods in their own image.

He wasn't referring to a faiths or faiths.

Just those who think Madeleine signified or was the second coming.

Remembering of course some religions don't focus their belief system on  the old testament or the equivalent.

For some, truly ignorance is bliss.

and those of course who slaughter in 'God's' name.

You do realize I was referring to Nessling and his acolytes on stop talking the myths?

Nigel Nessling's beliefs are his own.  And not for you or me to mock.

Why?

[stephen25000]

Nigel Nessling's beliefs are his own.  And not for you or me to mock.

So by that logic, if someone came on here professing that Madeleine represented the Antichrist, you would be OK  with that.

As to Neesling, he put his views on blogs available for anyone to read, and since this is a free country.........

Karl Marx said man created god in his image, and religion was the opiate of the masses.

Indeed he did.

The basic premise that religion gave peoples life's meaning.
