So beware, for the time is coming," says the LORD, "when that place will no longer be called Topheth or the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. They will bury so many bodies in Topheth that there won't be room for all the graves. The corpses of my people will be food for the vultures and wild animals, and no one will be left to scare them away. I will put an end to the happy singing and laughter in the streets of Jerusalem. The joyful voices of bridegrooms and brides will no longer be heard in the towns of Judah. The land will lie in complete desolation. (Jeremiah 7:32-34 NLT)

The fact that 1 in 3 UK tax funded schools is a faith school is very worrying to me, especially when they are teaching creationism in science class. I dont care what religion it is, in my opinion it is wrong, yet I do not see a change on the horizon, if anything I believe it will get worse.

Ok lets ignore your signature for a moment.
Have you ever been in a horrendous, ongoing hell like situation in your life?
No? Well then you have no ability to judge these people and their belief in God. Ive been there and as much as I wanted to end it, God was there. In fact its those times that the presence is too strong to deny. The whole good bad duality thing is a product of this existence and does not apply to the Creator because the Creator encompasses all.

I believe all religions are based on the traditions of men. That is their inherent problem. I believe the only way to combat religion is with spirituality. Any one can be spiritual. one does not have to belong to an organized religion to be spiritual. The Bible warns about following the traditions of men,
Col 2:8 Watch that there not be one robbing you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ.
All religions are full of false teachers, the world follows blindly after them. Spirituality is the best defense against religion. I have a friend who sees things the same way I do, and we have been waging a spiritual battle against religion. We've actually had some small success in changing people's minds in our community. people like listening to my friend because he's a great orator. We Mohawks are known for being great orators. Spirituality that's the answer.
