Correct.  God has no spine.  That's why he lets his followers persist.

Well actually, I don't think God needs followers. I mean the Idea that an
omnipotent God is that insecure is quite ludicrous. I think believing in God
is something one does entirely for oneself, because ultimately if the
Universe is God then every one and every thing is part of God, everything is
*One* and observing there is a force of constant creation and renewal in the
Universe demonstrated clearly in the laws of physics, is a positive way to
interpret things. But I think the last thing one should do is get involved
with any kind of *organised* religion, since the evil perpetrated in the
name of organised religion and the way it is used to separate people from
God by attempting to pervert and manipulate the truth and frighten people
with the horror of Eternal Hell would seem to indicate it is the way of
Satan.

Religion only puts on the pretense of being spiritual. In reality it isn't.
It is just a con job, and such a good one, that it has fervent believers
believing that it is real and truthful. It isn't. As regards the Jews,
Christians and Muslims. They do worship the one and same God, even though
they may protest otherwise. Their God is so similiar to each other's.

The reason why I say this - is that the philosophy of religion, it's
information is seriously flawed - it is pure nonsense - neither adding up
to a reasonable and logical explanation of 'reality' here.

The Gods and God were in fact ETs.
God was an ET, a giant who lived for thousands of years, who wanted to be
worshipped as a God, and started the God myth - which the Jews, Christians
and Muslims perpetuated.

For the missing history of mankind go to

At the bottom of this page, is a timeline of human history. All of it.

This is from the Plejarens (ETs) /Billy Meier.

Also note - information about Jesus's teachings is in the Talmud Jmmanuel
text, which gives a different story to the traditional story about Jesus.
ie. Jesus did not die, he was resusictated and journeyed onto India,
where he lived to a very old age and died there. There is a tomb of Jesus
in Kashmir. See www.tombofjesus.com and
www.tjresearch.info for further information.

Jesus did not teach about God as such, but about the Creation.
The creative energies of the universe, which when tapped into,
created the miracles of Jesus, as per the traditional story about Jesus.
