On Religion in Tri-Cities Virginia Tennessee
by Lewis Loflin
There is a great deal of material on this site in regards to religion, in particular subjects related to rational monotheism. While rejecting elements Christian theology as a form of Gnosticism (Gnosticism is not used as an attack), I'm not anti-Christian. This is a skeptic site, but that also includes equal treatment of radical Islam, and secular pseudo-theologies such as socialism/Marxism, radical environmentalism, etc. This includes all form of racist, left-wing "liberation theology." Also see My view of other faiths. I have no interest in promoting any particular church or belief system, but do oppose any system that attacks INDIVIDUAL freedom.
Because Christianity was a product of the Roman Empire that would be a good place to start taking another look. The Roman Empire as such never "fell" in 479 AD, it merely changed form, a process going back a few centuries. Most notable were the "barbarians" were not like what we often make of the word today. They didn't destroy everything and in fact were Christians!. They were Arian Christians and in fact acted more civilized in many respects than Rome and the Catholic Church. As Theodoric the Great viewed religion,
"We can not command religion, for no man can be compelled to believe anything against his will."
To quote Ben Franklin:
Here is my creed. I believe in One God, the Creator of the Universe. That he governs it by his Providence. That he ought to be worshipped. That the most acceptable Service we can render Him is doing good to his other children. That the soul of man is immortal and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this. These I take to be the fundamental principles of all sound religion.
