convert me to their point of view, God did tell people to 'spread the

It is not hopeless at all! 

Sorry wasn't clear, they are trying to convert me into their way of
thinking. That is what I meant by "hopeless".

Thanks for the clarification. Glad to hear so :-)

I have some major issues with Religion as it is believed and spread by
most people. I can give some great reasons why most Religions are
hopelessly lost in their own BS. I am not saying there is not a God, I

The first of many problems that I found was that there seem to be _so_
_many_ Gods and gods and others with much silliness to try to explain it
all away. With no consensus amongst the various religions as to what
there is or might be, then I can only see them as a 'cult-like' 'way of
life'.

Some of the religions do have some very good ideas for 'good living'.
Shame that most get bogged down in their own dogma and worse.

examples. There are many, many more. That dipstick in America that
said God told him 'if people don't give him 20 million dollars, God
will take him into Heaven', people sent him the money!

Isn't that just good old Amerikan enterprise? If I was less honest, I
could try creating my own religious cult for a year or two and then
similarly invent some Religious Cataclysm to then discretely retire
rich! Mmmmm... :-)
