Here is a spot I found that mentions it, not the one I originally got it from though. http://evolution-facts.org/Ev-Crunch/c06a.htm
Hi, my name is Brian Ness. There is 100% chance that God exists. If you think there's no chance of God's existance, then you're ignorant, you have no idea. I don't know about you but if I have a slightest of doubt in something, then I don't believe in it. I guess that's why my faith in God is strong and the rest of you are going to hell. The Bible is beautiful. I trust is over anyone, even the people that wrote it. I read that a bunker buster hit the Pentagon and I believe it because my gut feeling says it's true. I believe in Santa, how else could all those gifts appear out of nowhere? Did you know that the Earth is hallow and Nostradamus predicted the 9/11 attacks? I will say that scientists are nothing but liars because they're human beings with an agenda unlike religious figures of the past and present.

The human mind is a powerful thing. Your belief can be a dangerous thing. It was comical until the 5th or the 6th page, then it just dragged from there. God bless.

I agreed with you for the first few sentences. You gut feeling is better to follow than your mind sometimes, because the human mind probably isnt as powerful as you think. And I wouldnt say that all scientists are liars, but some may have agendas though, not sure though. What do you think the motivation of the "religious figures" to make up stories and write them down, thousands of years ago was? To fool us, now? How motivated are you to write something down to fool the masses 2000 years from now. Probably about the same as them.
Here is an interesting video of evolution, from the "other side", 16 parts of only a few minutes each if you feel like it. http://www.christiananswers.net/creation/aqoo/01-aqoo-en.html
Well, the original intention could have been something positive. Then a few others with an agenda will follow shortly after, gradually corrupting it like everything else. Misinterpretation, misrepresentation, power, control and money.
Mahikari is a religion that my father's mother and other family members practiced. They believed in the healing power of the True Light from their hands. My aunt had a bad back and I used to always see her getting the Mahikari treatment. I think she believed that placing a hand over her sore back would heal it. Her son, my cousin, developed a severe skin condition on his face when we were 9 years old. Of course her mother told him that the True Light would heal his skin. You should have seen him. The skin on his face was dry and cracked, he looked like a zombie. My father finally had to take him to a dermatologist. His skin healed thanks to a prescription ointment. My grandmother never visited the doctor because she believed in her True Light. Her belief and cancer took her life.

The propensity for religious belief may be innate since it’s found in societies around the world. Innate behaviors are shaped by natural selection because they confer some advantage in the struggle for survival.
Religion began as a mechanism for a community to exclude those who could not be trusted. Later, it grew into a means of encouraging communal action, a necessary role in hunter-gatherer societies that have no chiefs or central authority. It was then co-opted by the rulers of settled societies as a way of solidifying their authority and justifying their privileged positions. Modern states now accomplish by other means many of the early roles performed by religion, which is why religion has become of less relevance in some societies. But because the propensity for religious beliefs is still wired into the human mind, religion continues to be a potent force in societies that still struggle for cohesion, like those in Africa, say, or the Middle East.

Again it still doesnt make sense and what you just said is even more rediculous than that quote. Who said religion is for people to be saved in this life? Its intention is to be saved in the next. A religious person still needs to save himself in this life. I dont see why a person has to choose either one and not both. I dont. Im working my ass off to save myself in this life. I dont expect God to give me a hand to save me when he gave me 2 of them, 2 legs and a brain. Its amazing how little some people know about religion.
Some people pray for things such as cures for their diseases when it would be easily curable by a doctor or at a hospital. People have died believing that a faith healer would heal them from cancer or other diseases or believing that god will save them from a bad situation. Solutions to our problems will be by humans, not god/gods
with 3 billion people praying to the same god and no divine intervention helping any of them (unless you believe rolling on the ground and speaking in tongues is some sign), millions of people starving and dying from diseases (put on earth by "an all loving god"). Then i'm suppose to believe that those people who die from starvation and diseases will most likely go to hell because they don't believe in the right religion, whichever one that is, and people who have sinned can go to heaven just by asking for forgiveness.
