I was told that if I had anything to do with other religions (especially the "New Age" movement), I would be allowing the "devil" to have control over my life. I grew up with so much bondage and it has taken me many, many years to get to the place where I am able to think about God for myself and question my parent's religion. I do not blame my parents at all as I believe that they are victims of religion too and only did what they did because they wanted what they believed was best for me. How could they allow their daughter to go to hell? Fortunately for my entire family (and especially for me), they have been told that it is okay if I go to hell because it won't affect them. God is a loving God and will make sure that they don't even remember me when they are all in heaven and I am burning in hell. They have left me alone since they were given those pearls of wisdom. Most religions do not allow a person to have their own conscience. There is usually a book that tells you what is right and what is wrong. If you don't agree with the book, then you are told that you have no right to question almighty God. After all, child abusers might feel that what they are doing is right,so we can't rely on our inner conscience to tell us what is right and wrong. We must rely on the book and those who have spent years studying it to tell us what is right and wrong. I believe that religion separates people from God and I often wonder if the anti-Christ is not religion itself!

It's only part of evolution back into Oneness, I guess? Thanks for sharing, Deepak :) An interesting view on what’s happening to religions nowadays.
