Re: you're both right

well... i agree about what robin says about how we are to follow Gods laws
but dont (or something like that... you know what i'm talking about). my idea
that i just have realized today before i even read the previous message is
that God created this universe we like in. or at least a God of some kind.
however, the CONCEPT of God is man made. someone somewhere at sometime
decided to make all of these guide lines in which we are to all live by. not
God but man. Sure, there are the obviouse like "dont kill" because where do
we as human beings have any right to kill another. or any of gods creations
unless we intend to use that creature for a matter of survival. people who
hunt deer (usually) eat the deer and very little go to waste. unless someone
intends to EAT another human being, we have no right. But what about "thou
shall not comit adultry" ? that is basically saying that if you are married
that you should stay sexually monagomous with that person. not only does
religion teach that, but society as well. and i must admit that if the other
partner in a marrage doesnt consent, its not a very nice thing to do. but it
IS only human to have desires of other people. personally, i dont believe
that the human race is a monagamous race (biologically in the brain) i think
that when our fore fathers were walking aroung on there nuckles, they were
banging every female in sight! so i think that religion has laws that go
AGAINST human nature. as far as how A God created the universe is another
story. For example, lets take a look at the zebra. many people cant
understand why a zebra has black and white stripes. what kind of camoflage is
that? well, its a damn good one! the main predator of the zebra is the lion.
the lion does not have the eye sight that we have, as a matter of fact its
very poor. when the zebra's run in heards, the stripes cause a stobe light
effect one the lions eyes and the lion cant single out any one particular
zebra. so the zebra has a fighting chance. now you cant tell me that many
many years ago the zebra got tigether and said, "hey dudes, this is how the
lion works and this is how we are going to protect ourselves". and i dont
think there is any other animal ,ancient or present, that the zebra could
have evolved from that also have stripes. even if they did, then that animal
was created that way for a reason. so therefore, A GOD DID create the
universe we are forced to live in but religion that billions of people
blindly follow is made by man (but if they want to follow religion, then
thats ok because i also believe that we as humans can like by our own free
will).
