Religion pacifies and molifies free thinking
i disagree. it's a belief system, not unlike your own. (not comparatively, just example -- you believe xyz. i believe wxyz. she believes mno. he believes jklm. etc)
besides, you've auto-assumed additional data that isn't true, and then stereotyped alot of people in the process. ya need to get a handle on that. for example, you keep saying religion, but you've previously described religion as a church institution. there's alot of people who don't go in church buildings or attend a specific religious creed but they still believe something. you fall into that category and so do i. why are you better than me? and don't say you aren't because you are the most condescending and insulting person i've encountered on ATS and i've encountered alot of people here.

a belief system is a belief system. doesn't matter who's at the head of it, as far as the phrase is concerned. if you believe the earth is god and that there are no sentient bipedal gods, that's your belief. if you believe the universe is god and there are no sentient bipedal gods, that's your belief. if you think you are god, that's your belief. if you think that the whole thing is just one big cosmic accident and there's no gods at all, that's your belief. you can believe it religiously or not. some people take it too far, which is what i think the complaint from reconpilot appears to be (and also, what he appears to be doing as well -- taking it too far, labelling people he doesn't know, insisting he does know, and pretending like you're attacking him if you defend yourself or point out how rude he is about his belief.
i've said it before and will say it again: we are all slaves. that has never changed and no amount of pretending that you're not a slave, no changing of the words, will make it not be true. as long as you are on this planet, you're working for someone else who is the regional owner of said real estate. it's just the nature of the universe.

i dont insist on being a victim. some insist on victimiznig others, even in the guise of trying to free them. i think that counts for just about every paradigm you can name. and do you think it unreasonable, scientificially, since that's your gig, to prove to me that you are not a human being, but in fact an altarian?

Very interesting read!!!! I am sure you spent a lot of time on this. I have just one question.
If you say Enki is the serpent in the Eden, then is he the satan?? If he tried helping the human to get the Blue stone then why the religions are contradicting him as a evil one?
Btw just to let you know Tara also means Star in Sanskrit. Try substituting terror with star; it may give you a different answer.
Cheers
