The Scientific mind has no use for pathological actions of human beings which include some form of, in their mind, useless rituals or annual "Holy Day" observances or "Meditating Prayers" which might serve to highlight the possibility that a GOOD, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Sentient Creator Deity actually exists and is CONCERNED about their creation.

ANY unscientific thoughts or actions which in any way detracts from or might allow its own RELIGIOUS adherents to stray from the STRAIGHT and NARROW path of fully PROVEN scientific THEORIES about our reality, are officially and unequivocally derided and scorned and looked upon with disgust.  You might hear a small, thin voice of science in your head saying, "HOW can we ever EVOLVE  if we don't ALL get on the SAME page!"  Although there are certainly FREE THINKING pioneers in all branches of the sciences who have diligently FOUGHT city hall and brought to light MANY scientific discoveries which may HIGHLIGHT the POSSIBILITY of certain realities which might possibly CORROBORATE the Ancient Hebrew writings in some way or another AND point to a possibly YOUNGER version of our earth than is currently ESPOUSED.

Really?  Where?  If you google "King David" or "Tel Dan Stella" or "Soft Tissue Found In Dinosaur Bones" or "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon," or JERANISM or ANY number of other UNMODIFIED Hebrew scripture topics then you will CERTAINLY see (IF the topic hasn't been subjected to the CENSORING algorithm Google has most recently implemented which they also have found it necessary to add DISCLAIMERS to certain searches to WARN that the topics you are searching for are ARCHAIC ideas and thereby have NO PLACE in current OBJECTIVE scientific thought whatsoever.  Seriously?) there is objective evidence to be found that NOT everything Science tells you to believe is factual NOR that anything which is included in ANY current THEORY of science is a HARD and undisputed FACT.  True science doesn't actually deal with TRUTH but with OBSERVATION and EXPERIMENTATION.  So anyone who says they are a scientist but then claims that ANYTHING has been proved beyond a shadow of ANY doubt, is trying to get you to join their religion and NOT trying to help you discover any TRUTH about your reality.  Believe it or not.

So what GOOD is religion since we KNOW that certain followers of widely differing religious observances have historically caused NOTHING but pain and discomfort to our reality?  The answer is that FALSE religion is most DEFINITELY harmful to our reality and the GOOD, Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Sentient Creator Deity whom gave me the necessary FAITH in Them through the OBJECTIVE research into and acceptance of The WORD, Who SAW the END of this reality from the beginning, told us what was going to happen LONG before it actually happened but we IGNORED their Royal messages and KILLED most of Their messengers.  (Google Daniel & The Revelation by Uriah Smith, 1897 edition.)

The New Covenant book of James fully establishes what constitutes PURE religion for the New Israel which is being CHOSEN by their Creator.  You Need No More Than This

But, after grasping the TRUTH about Pure religion what can be said about ALL the other myriad facets of what we understand as "religious observances" that men and devils have ADDED to or tried to TAKE AWAY from, whose Royally directed temporal observances are necessary to perfectly SEAL the adherents SPIRITUAL mind with that of their SPIRITUAL creator? See here!

At the end of the day, ANY person's religion, whether they actually believe they have one or say they have one or NOT, is OBJECTIVELY and SCIENTIFICALLY verified by whatever temporal physical activities they actively engage in WILLFULLY & HABITUALLY.  So the young girl who screams with delight while taking yet another SELFIE and turns to her friends nearby and says, "OMG!  Don't I look GREAT in that picture?"  has perfectly identified who their deity is and whatever other activities they engage in WILLFULLY  & HABITUALLY in support of that deity are in effect RELIGIOUS actions.  Believe it or NOT!

So, what's all the FAP about religion? 

Do the math.

Till then,

Shalom!
