All religion have strange rituals which turn me off of organized religions. In the past I have posted about Judaism and Christianity. Here is an interesting ritual of a Hindu devotee.

I just watched the above video. It is a long video but it is amazing. It suggests that 10 Jesus like figures existed before him. Starting with Horus who was born December 25, 3000 B.C. Some of the similarities are that they all were:
Born to a virgin
Started preaching at age 30
Had 12 apostles
Were Crucified and then risen from the dead etc.
It basically advances the theory that Jesus never existed and all religions are a fraud.
From there it states the case of 9/11 and some conspiracy theories.
Manipulation by the powerful to start:
1st World War
2nd World War
Vietnam War
And more recently are the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and now a push for war with Iran. All wars are very profitable to just a few according to the video.
There are a lot of conspiracy theories advanced in this video.
Unfortunately I cannot embed the video. You can watch it here.
It is a 2 hours long video and you need a lot of patience to watch it.
There was a fascinating documentary on Scientology on the CBC program, the Passionate Eye. Another big fraud in the name of religion. As I go through the journey of life I am feeling more and more repulsed by almost all organized religions. I do believe in spiritualism but I don’t much care for organized religion. I had some personal experiences that gave me some hints about spiritualism – I should emphasize the word “hint” as beyond that I have no knowledge. Religions and their fanatic followers are more interested in rituals than the spirit of the religion as such. And we all know some of these fanatics could be very dangerous indifferent to any particular religion. The real spiritual experiences are hard to explain and are very personal.
