From the thousands of near death experiences I have read through and watched, the one common denominator is that religion (not spirituality) is man-made, but parts of Christianity and Buddhism are the two that get it the most right. We are all apparently connected, connected by love, which is apparently the greatest and most powerful force in existence.

Catholicism is all about control, by the way. At least the protestant movement put the Bible back into the hands of the populace, although lately, it’s turned into a D&I woke crap show, and for that reason, I no longer attend church, but I continue my spiritual journey in my personal relationship with the God of love and his son, Jesus Christ, he did exist, and by the way, there is a real heaven in a completely different dimension that has completely different laws of physics that here, It’s nothing like most people think it is, it’s a dynamic, Amazing, extraordinary place and a very high-level existence… we come here, to this constructed universe, to learn lessons and continue our soul progression as we cannot accomplish that where we normally live. But that’s a conversation for another time :)

The Satanists probably hated the fact that the common Man can now read and write for themselves, they had that wrapped up for centuries, though, when we were all dumb and uneducated.

Organized religion in general, yes. I do believe the gospel of Jesus Christ is real and happened. I'm with C.S. Lewis on that.

Agreed. So few seem able to let go of that childish security blanket it’s scary.
