"""There is a big difference between purely religious Christians (most Catholics for example) who practice it out of tradition without really thinking about it and those who look deeply into what in particular Jesus said as well as developing a real relationship with God through prayer and meditation.""" (bpcw)

For me, there is nothing wrong with traditions, and certainly with religious traditions.

Every people, every nation adapted the imposed abrahamic monotheism with their ancestral beliefs and ethnic culltual traditions, I dont speak of religion, this word didnt exist in the antiquity. Here in Europe, ALL the people were polytheist, but the most powerful deity was the mother earth goddess.
The first christian preachers adapted their dogmas with the powerful ancient beliefs, yes they had a good marketing policy, to impose their dogmas.

When I go in Portugal, I am always surprised by the importance of the virgin Mary. In the church, the representation of Mary is more important than Jesus. The european nations and their people have thousands years of mother earth cult traditions in their past.!!!!!!!! it is genetic !!!!!!!

In Greece, the link between Mary and Athena is evident

The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.

Regardless of personal religious beliefs, I would like to extend holiday greetings to the the 1/9th Corps here on the TI board. Live long and prosper: Financially, physically, and emotionally.
