Try a spell check to see if you did.

[that mad man]

Jolly there is a difference between believing in a God and believing in a religion, you can believe in a God without believing in any religion.

If the God that you believe in is omnipotent and everywhere why is it necessary for him to talk to angels and prophets instead of talking directly to us? Could it be that the only way he can exist is by prophets inventing stuff and lying about being "chosen", its in the prophets or the teachers benefit to do so.

There have been threads about Dreaming and I think most would agree that dreaming is not reality and yet, most prophets saw visions (dreams) about the words of God and we are expected to accept that as fact!

It the old con trick, "I know, I saw! I cant prove it but believe me it was God and was real and if you don't believe me then you must believe in evil".

How come you have to pay a priest to get married or carry out a funeral service? Do you see many destitute or poor priests? How much is the "Church" worth?

We are sensible enough now to treat or lock up people that say they have strange visions or talk to God, to talk to God and have visions is now considered a sign of madness! Go tell the doctor that you have strange visions and have Gods voice in your head and you will be promptly offered psychiatric help.

The voices in the head is a popular one!

[tony6789 (OP)]

lol

[Ben6789]

Yes it is..but visions of God talking to people are entirly possible.

If you have one, don't tell anyone who doesn't beileve in God, less chance of getting sent to Mental Institute.

[tony6789 (OP)]

lol tru dude tru all the way

[Ben6789]

[Ben6789]

NIce post.

Again! You should get a reward.

[tony6789 (OP)]

yea i agree

How much is the "Church" worth?

Some say The Vatican is worth 1 billion (euros), some say 5, but the real total value sold at an auction, say, would probably be a multiple of that last number. Highest I've heard is close to 50 billion, Holy See + Vatican City.

Ofcourse, that's only the Roman Catholic Church, them poor, poor beggars. Other numbers of other faiths are much harder to obtain, because of a lack of a big central organisation like the RCC has.

5 euros or 5 million euros?

[chimera]

All numbers are billions, although some reports use dollars, so it's only roughly equivalence with euros. But not lire or zloty, in any case. []

You have to add up quite a few separate not-so-impressive cashflows together though and take all the assets artwork/real estate into consideration as well, especially that last one's an enormous figure alone. Now that's all 'priceless' and valued at 1$, like. Token value.

The Vatican is one of the most opulent places on the planet. It is probably priceless. No one could ever buy it.
