   In particular I regard Judiasm, Christianity and Islam as being based   
   on false and erroraneous teachings - these religions in particular set   
   themselves up as an authority on knowing all, etc --- but they are   
   merely after power and control. That is what their agenda is, and is   
   based upon, merely to seek converts and retain those converts, and they   
   feed them their 'nonsense'. They talk for god as if god cannot speak   
   for itself.   
      
   There is the belief that god is the universe, and that includes us,   
   meaning we are part of god (some saying that our spirit/soul comes   
   from god, therefore we are part of all that is, and we are eternal).   
   But the personality can deny that - some do.   
      
   There are a lot of people misled (like by the above religions in   
   particular) - but some people do know they are doing evil and choose   
   to do it.   
   We can only know who and what they are - and not let them have their   
   way. Those who kill others, and who prey on women and children.
