different ways people can interperate this as conspiracy theories and that is usually the negative way, the usually positive way is religion and the neutral way is trying to prove what we can in a reasonable scientific way that makes the most scence to us. there are also many different believes in between the ones that i meantioned and ounce again i am not saying wether i believe in this or not and i am not trying to disprove religion, i am just trying to explain this to you the best i can

my part 2 and part3 did not show up because i exceded my commenting limit so i will try to  recount what i said the best i can: religion makes people feel better in times of grief and hardship, people wanted to prove why different things occur and religion is the easiest way, some people used religion to explain things and otheres use it for personal gain beccause of man's natural belief that theres is a reason for everything and that something bigger is going on people interperate it in

many people will find this oblectionable but this is an explanation, im not saying that i believe in it or not, these are words from a person i know: religion exists because we as humans want to believe that things happen for a reason and that people who will be well behaved during life will be rewarded forever, this makes us feel better about whats going on an explains things for us, some religions started because people wanted to prove what was going on in an easy way

... change their state of consciousness to one that promoted a more positive energy, our earth would benefit as much as we would. so, i am all for anything that allows people the chance to change. thanks for you time.

.... make me a Christian. Christians are afraid to offend their church because they do not want to feel like outcasts. if there was a place where people could learn about spirituality without the restrainsts of a church (even though it would still be a forum for worship of sorts), more would have a chance to evolve. i feel that the earth feeds off of our energy, and when we are filled with negative energy, we release negative energy in to our earth. if more people were to ....

i just watched your video "Christian Magick Summoning Rituals". did you set up a Christian account? i think it would benefit alot of people. like i said before, i believe that people like Christ were at a different level of consciousness and tried to spread that message. i, pesonally, found that i can find more meaning in Christ's words and actions then in the words and actions of others, and because i wish to reach a higher state of consciousness, i follow the teachings of Christ, which would..

.... through time, you can see this creative force manifest your will into your life. their are no set rules to follow, only those that help your spiritual evolution. But my advice is to listen to everyone's beliefs and experinces, throw them out the door, and search for yourself (which it seems you are doing).

i would love to hear your point of view on the topic. thanks for your time.

... not what is the point of religion, but what is the point of spirituality? And my belief is, spirituality is the minds evolution process and a means to find a connection with God, or creation, or however you wish to label it. the joy in this kind of thinking, is that one can accept (if they have it in them) that they don't and may never have all the answers. during prayer and entering different states of consciousness, you tend to feel love.... i mean true, pure love and .....

.... reach the same level of consciousness through their teachings. these people had larger numbers of followers that listened and tried to spread the message, however, once others ( probably those who were scared to find the truth) learned that they could control and profit from these teaching, they took control. they took out the critical thinking, added easy 'follow blindly and be rewarded' principles and added a little fear and thus, organized religion was born. so, to me, the question is ..

... believe that it is through examination of one's consciousness we have the ability to access the creative forces of God. this, in my opinion, is the most likely answer to why people like Christ and other religous prophets were able to perform the miracles they did. i believe these people had more of a grasp on what God, creation, and spirituality truley are and were able to function on a different level of consciousness then the average human. these people tried to show us how to ....
