Calvin once said that "religion was the opiate for the masses"( best of Calvin and Hobbes) and it is true, nevertheless i reckon religion stemmed from one source and branched out from one to suit the many. Underlying most religions is a doctrine that guides wo/MAN through life in a disciplined manner. Some religions misundertood guide wo/MAN,through the paths that lead to chaos. Some swear they have been touched by God, others proclaim that a creator does not exist, others accept the fact that a creator exists, but subscirbe to their own doctrines.
Who is right and who to follow? This is my thought path, religion followed correctly creates a high, a high similar to one experienced when indulging in narcotics, and perhaps this high leads to the feeling of being at peace and one with the creator. Not a bad thing, or state to be in,yes. Who knows these things but the one who created everything. The biblos i belive has it all, but the Biblos needs an engaged mind inorder for it to yield truth. I recki, the biblos is a prophetic book clothed in metaphors and that the youth of today, together with their daddies and mothers still live in the old testament and all are waiting to be redeemed. Or the biblos could be a book for everyone and all triumphs and struggles depicted in the bible ring true with you,me and them..feel me. The children of Isreal could still be in Egypt, or everyone, but the elect, maybe are still slaves in Egypt and are waiting for a mosses to liberate them, Mosses could be a thought path,or a person, same thing with Egypt.... The biblos is to be understood from every souls life point for i believe it encompasses every struggle and every triumph wo/MAN, goes through and if life lessons are personally derived from it, truth and excellence will be the outcome.
