A Ouija Board is NOT good idea... EVER

[Ares]

I believe there is great wisdom written in the bible, but we know the bible has been rewritten, translated and edited many times. I also believe the bible has been subverted by a certain group of people to change the message for their own evil purposes.
Perhaps this is where you find your disagreement with it?

Correct, there is no literal translation from Aramaic to English. The language of Jesus was Aramaic, the literal translation of the Aramaic word Sin to English means "to miss the mark" or "not on mark". The scriptures have been translated hundreds of times most go back to using the base language of either Latin or Greek, but even those are translations of Aramaic or Hebrew.

I do find great wisdom in the bible and do apply a lot of what it has to say. But I also look at other religions for guidance, Buddhism is good for finding inner peace and meditation.

I know enough to look around me and see that this world was created by an infinitely powerful being, if he/she/it wanted a religion it would make one and all of his creation would know about it, and not rely upon some chosen few to spread his word. Religion to me appears to be more of a product of human creation trying to explain or rationalize a being we couldn't possibly understand in this plane of existence. I won't fault anyone for following their heart in what they believe to be true and righteous. But what may be true and righteous to you, most likely will not be for another.

Which brings up an interesting point of irony when it comes to religion. God created man who as we all know as an individual in their own right with regards to thoughts, actions, wants, desires, needs, etc. Yet most religions say that they are the key to salvation, and that you must believe in order to be saved. The question then becomes, how do you get everyone to believe that?
