Are You Coming?

With World Youth Day growing Closer every day and the panic after the Equine Flu and delays in Site Preparations... The venue appears to back on trackto be ready for this huge event.

So are you coming to Randwick Race Course Australia for next years World Youth Day with Pope Benedict?

Where are travelling from and why is this so important?

buddhist monks run wild

I recently viewed a program on ABC television station here in Australia called 'Compass', yes I watch a lot of the ABC. The program deals with religious and social issues through out the world.

The topic which caught my eye was on 'Radical Buddhist Monks' in Sri Lanka.

This statement is conundrum within itself.... Buddhism is probably the religion furthest from radical fundamentalism of any in the world today.

But they it was, Buddhist monks ransacking catholic churches, tormenting villagers, setting fire to churches, and generally causing mayhem in the communities.

Although these events have been condemned by the leaders of the Buddhist faith the events are still going on.....

So is this a sign of the times, religion and faith going horribly wrong, or is it more to do with fear and persecution that these aspects of human nature are coming to fore.....

What do you think?

Which God

Which God is the right God?

I thought I would try this praying thing everyone talks about.....you know 'I pray to God and he/she lifts my spirit and the worry goes away'

So after organising my thoughts and studying the how toos.....I sat myself down to try this strange task......

Then like a bolt from the blue (maybe God) the question came 'which God.?'

It was like a switchboard operator asking for the number to connect me too. So I hung up on the connection and pondered this:

'Do I want the Catholic, Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, Hindi, Penticostical, Baptist, Scientology, Greek Orthodox, Pagan Earth, New Age, Ancient Roman, Ancient Greek, Ancient Egyptian, Sun, moon or Universal God?'

As you can see there is quite a list of Gods through the ages so which one should I try to talk to.....

I ask a friend of mine they are spiritualist, the advice was 'which ever one feels right to you!' oh crap what a cop out, that is the problem I have no experience to base an opinion on......



So I ask you which God should I pray to......is there just one or should I pray to all of them and hedge my bets just in case...after all if the switchboard operator is really there none of them would ever know anyway would they?

What Do you believe

What do you believe?
Which of the faith do you follow. Do you follow a mainstream faith or a new age one. What about those faiths which are more obscure....
Here is chance to tell the world what your faith has to offer to the rest of us.....

Waiting to be Converted

Over the years I have found myself in a place of uncertainty. Wondering If there are so many reigions and beliefs in the world, How does someone work out which one is the true religion.

If God was the one and only true God and creator of all human kind, why do people believe have so many varied opinions of his word?

For example: christianity updated the bible from the Old Testament to the New Testament and then they edit out chapters which now seem inappropriate for our times, then they do the very things which in the bible it tells them not to do....Take the revivalist churches throughout southern states of America and also a few in Australia which sell all manner of religious tokens for rediculas prices in the name God...I do remember reading in this book 'do not worship false idles' or something along those lines yet the very people preaching to the believers about the good news are the very people selling them falsehoods, not to mention the money is the root of evil clause in there, how rich is the catholic church......and the vatican on its own....

but christians are not the only religion which to an outsider has a double standard of do as say not as I do attitude......all around the world we see it....in all the mainstream religions judaism, islam, hindu, budhism, new age, paganism, spirituality...... yes everywhere....

I have found contradiction after contradiction.....so I have decided to see start a blog and get you the people who believe in something to tell me why.....what makes your religion your beliefs the one right way....why with your belief will you go to a better place than your neighbour....and how why if I take on what you believe will I be saved....If there is one true religion outthere which does not contridict itself, have a double standard, treat one gender, race, age better than another I really want to know.....

So people of the internet here I am convert me know and get to that better place knowing you have saved a soul along the way
