Hi,
I'm just here to encourage you to read this book : The Present (with religion)
http://www.truthcontest.com/entries/the-present-with-religion/I can't explain it better than the autor so I'll quote the start :
"Newton and Einstein were great scientists and great mystics. Science and religion have different pieces to the puzzle. Until now, no one has united religion and science. People had to choose between tradition and truth. We need both.
What if the Bible and all other religious books are being misinterpreted?
What if the truth is in the Bible and many other religious books, but no one knows what it is? This book uses science, philosophy, religion, and art to reveal the unseen truth. It shows that most of the great prophets, philosophers, and poets are saying the same thing, but almost no one knows what it is.
Jesus is saying something completely different than what Christians think.
Religious books are not just filled with myths and morality tales as many people believe. The truth is in them; they are just being misinterpreted by religions.
The new interpretation will be the best thing that ever happened to religion.
Religions will make sense, and people will be able to understand them for the first time. This will make religions much more popular than they have ever been. Traditional religions will not change much; people will just see the truth in them.
Religion without the truth is like a light bulb without electricity. With the truth, religions will be reborn, and there will be an explosion in spiritual growth. Religions will no longer be based just on blind faith.
Just the truth: The truth about life and death can be explained without any reference to religion, and some people may prefer that, but more than half of the human race is involved in a religion. Thus, to be the ultimate explanation of the truth, it must include religion, all religions. This is the only way to unite us all.
Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind.
Albert Einstein
You do not have to be smart to know the truth, but you do have to be rational, be honest, and know a few things that could not be known until now."
Please read the whole book before you post here, you can't have an opinion if you don't read it...
I'll be happy to answer any question, but most answers are already in this book.Edit : If you don't like religion, there is a version of this book without religion :
