I've always believed that the true concept of God is beyond our pitifiul human ability to fully comprehend. All religions are therefore little more than flawed attempts to explain the unexplainable, very simililar to the way one uses analogies and stories to explain things like right and wrong to children.

Known by names is the all-Many, is outer form.
Resting without desires, means to reach the invisible inside.
Acting with desires, means to stay by the limited outside.
The all-One and the all-Many are of the same origin,
Different only in appearance and in name.
What they have in common is the wonder of being.
The secret of this wonder
Is the gate to true understanding.

TaoTeKing, verse 1, translated into English by my own German translation.

The very nature of the human cognition is to make sense of things, to order causally and logical what is neither. Therefore god and religion emerges. God is the ultimate causality that explains all, a natural and quite rational induction carried out by mankind through ages.

Understanding the mysetry that we cover by the term "God" is within our reach. but possible that we need to transcend ourselves for that, must learn to "oversee" our "selfs". It is within man's reach to experience it - but possible that man has to change fundamentally his perception and awareness of "himself".

You know Skybird if you were a politician I would vote for you. :up:
At least on the islamic problem.

Mohammed cartoon newspaper acquitted

The drawings of Mohammed printed in Jyllands-Posten newspaper were not racist, a court in Århus has decided

Two editors of Jyllands-Posten newspaper have been acquitted of racism charges stemming from its publication of 12 drawings of the prophet Mohammed in September 2005. Seven Muslim organisations had charged editor in chief Carsten Juste and culture editor Flemming Rose with racism in civil suit.
The court said the organisations had not proven that the drawings or the accompanying articles had intentionally offended Muslims.
