Belief
I think mainstream religion gets far too much publicity, and besides being a behaviour-control system used by the state, and the cause of most wars, and anti-competitive, it's also mostly wrong, and most notably disempowering upon the individual. Therefore, to balance things up a bit, here are some Alternative links to do with belief...

I used to believe in a religion. It was a positive enlightened belief system and could work miracles, but unfortunately it failed to make me rich. So I put an ultimatum to it, giving it two weeks to sort this out and to start making me money. I gave it a fair chance and it failed. So I dumped my religion in favour of something that ACTUALLY WORKS. Direct Drive. Direct Drive works, but it's not everyone's cup'o'tea, and it's a bit extreme for some people. So be warned.
One of the key things to remember about belief is that it's very much a personal matter and no system has the right to be a monopoly. If you want to have a religion you should shop around and get something that's right for you, and not just accept faith in anyone's sales-talk. All Gods should be put to the test (if they say you shouldn't, then there's something a bit dodgy, isn't there?!). Plus, if you find your God isn't working for you and giving you a fulfilling life, happiness, lots of money, philosophical satisfaction, victory over your enemies, or whatever you require out of life personally, feel free to dismiss/fire/sack it and find something that works better for you.
Other points of note:
* Devout believers wishing to demonstrate the power of their Faith may have it proven (or disproven) by direct intervention testing at the Gambling Page
* Believers who assume everything is controlled by some centralised power such that people have no personal FREE WILL and so it's somehow ok to submit to divine will and to do various things because they have been commanded to, should PLAY CHESS against each other. In this experimentation it soon becomes evident that decisions made in the mind are real and have consequences, and that personal Free Will defines the future, not fate. You have to think for yourself, not be told what to do. Personal responsibility has to be faced up to.
