No. Religious people have to be incredibly arrogant to claim their their own conviction of Rightness through Faith, if they know the kind of arguments that they will have to ignore and dismiss through that Faith.

Why do they need record when everything is archived in the universe? Humans are foolish to think we are the only "intelligent" life. But that western selfishness at play again.

Why do you think native cultures were not allowed to practice their faith? Because those who know...know how powerful it is.

Everyone should find their own truth.
Oh dear. What 'westerners' do is science - verifying the claims of 'oral traditiopns' to find out whether they are correct or not. You know what religious Faith does? It picks whatever traditions it likes and dismisses all the others -on Faith.

If this were an accurate statement, then all honest people would arrive at the same "real truth". However, we can easily observe that what constitutes "real truth" varies greatly from person to person.

Animals don't talk, but somehow they know when danger is coming and take proper precautions. How do they know? What is guiding them? Or are they just smarter than us?
And yet, plenty of them still end up on the dinner table.

And yet so many of them aren't. How do you arrive at your "facts", I wonder?

I can guarantee that any real scientist who has done his or her research eventually hits a brick wall where science can no longer explain certain things. It's at that point they will concede that something else must be responsible for unexplained phenomena. That "something else" is a higher source. Any scientist who doesn't believe in a higher power is a scientist who hasn't done enough research. The thing is, very few will concede this publicly because the system they belong to won't allow it. They'll end up jobless or missing if they try to tell people the truth. So all the "no God" science nazis get to keep believing the agreed-upon lie. The earth stays at a lower vibration (for now) because not enough people are living in their higher selves, and the negative entities get to keep feeding off everyone's low energy. The "Satanic" cycle continues.

For now.

So, not only do you believe that the only truth is "intuitive truth" (which is in no way actual truth, but mere opinion), but now scientists either haven't done enough research (of which you apparently think you HAVE done enough...), or they are actually believers in a higher power but too scared to say anything.

Also, not enough people are living as their "higher selves", therefore the earths vibration is too low, and negative entities feed off of it, continuing a "Satanic cycle".... I mean, you can' t even seem to agree with your own version of theology. You speak as if your beliefs are some sort of "woo", but then you talk of Satan, which is part of Christianity and its offshoots.... It's cuckoo for cocoa puffs...

Ridiculous. If we don't know something, that only means we don't know. It does not mean that a god, or God, or the Easter Bunny, or your tin-foil hat must be responsible.
