Split from: Is faith synonymous with self-delusion?

Discuss philosophical questions regarding theism (and atheism), and discuss religion as it relates to philosophy. This includes any philosophical discussions that happen to be about god, gods, or a 'higher power' or the belief of them. This also generally includes philosophical topics about organized or ritualistic mysticism or about organized, common or ritualistic beliefs in the existence of supernatural phenomenon.

His legacy will last till the end of creation:
Heaven and earth shall pass away , but my words shall not pass away.

Matthew 24:35


Of course religion is not his legacy because religion is man-made. Jesus (God's avatar) was scathing about how the teachers in Israel had traded the truth of God for the tradition of men. Go back to the Bible and look for the truth rather than the tradition.
