Also, the conclusion to Richard Dawkin's The Root Of All Evil - Part 2: The Virus Of Faith on Google Video, this is the source material for his book: The God Delusion.

This is a great film in the sense of showing how extreme religion is the root of all that is bad in the world; however I am not an atheist. There is one thing that this film does not address and that is spirituality and how pure spirituality is. For instance religion can only be good by someone with wisdom. Spirituality is the essence of wisdom and don't confuse wisdom for intelligence. Only when wisdom and intelligence are brought to oneself hand in hand one can find enlightenment, but also maintaining innocence like a child. Now true spirituality, which is common amongst many Guru's and Yogi's in India such as Sri Sri Ravi Sankar (www.srisri.org) unites all people of all religions to one God threw meditation, which is peaceful and embraces what love is all about and cares for everything in this world where as religion does not. These religions that are all segregated are evil because of their belief that one is better or truer than the other. Evolution is also real, but the only thing I would challenge Mr.Dawkin's on is the power of spirituality and if you don't meditate you'll never know who God is. God can only be experienced threw meditation and those who think otherwise have a distorted view of this world, but all life is about is experience and for those that wonder why all these bad things happen around the world and God hasn’t helped, it is because he gave us free will to choose and we have done as we please threw control. Also the bible, some of it may have value, but don't think that it's original; the original bible has been changed by the church in order to control people. Another thing is that Jesus,Mohammed,Khisna etc were just messengers of God with divine power. When churches just praise Jesus this is wrong in their sense because most people think Jesus was the one true son of God when in fact we all are and Jesus, Mohammed, Khrisna etc were true representatives of what God is. You should be praising the almighty creator because Mohammed, Jesus Khrisna etc simply were enlightened at birth and enlightenment lead to their miracles, but we can all do this if you find enlightenment and I am not a hypocrite because I have not found full enlightenment yet, but full enlightenment may bring about powers that are divine. One other thing the only religions I have more respect for are those such as the native american religions that are more pure with the earth and Budhism, because they are not a typical religions and they are based on more spirtual values, again those are the only ones I know from studying and there maybe more religions that have a sense of spituality. So if you have no idea what I have just written you are distorted from society, materialism etc and maybe you should try some Kundalini Yoga to help get you back on track or take the art of living course by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and you may start to understand what the word love means.

Hmm. Well, I left a comment on the Hip Hop Culture collective comment page, but have gotten no reply. Seeing as you are the founder, I suppose I could ask you. May I join the Hip Hop Culture collective?
