eBay has some foundational religious beliefs! Many of you may say 'no way' but it's true check for yourself!
Easiest way to check is look at the POWERSELLERS application. I have sold a LOT on eBay and they continually offer for me to become a power seller. But when you go to accept the first thing you get is a set of beliefs you MUST accept & agree to.
**UPDATED**
I logged in the other day & they never requested me to agree to these things... So I completed my registration as a power seller. But guess what? They now advertise that I DO AGREE!
If you click on the POWER SELLER symbol next to a user - it comes to a page that says "What is a PowerSeller?
As pillars of our community, PowerSellers are committed to upholding and embracing the core values that are the very foundation of eBay. " Click on the core values you come to a page (http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/confidence/community-values.html) that says:
Our community is guided by five fundamental values:
* We believe people are basically good.
* We believe everyone has something to contribute.
* We believe that an honest, open environment can bring out the best in people.
* We recognise and respect everyone as a unique individual.
* We encourage you to treat others the way you want to be treated.
eBay is firmly committed to these principles. And we believe that community members should also honour them—whether buying, selling, or chatting with eBay friends.
This is WORSE than religion. You are forced to accept to be allowed in! Have you ever been stopped at the door of a church & told if you don't believe & accept then GET OUT!?
UPDATED*** now they don't force you but TRICK YOU!!! Then advertise that you do agree when the truth may not be so.
One of these values states that you must believe that all people are basically good - a totally false and spiritually dangerous concept.
People are NOT basically good - quite the opposite. How often do you need to train a child to be naughty? It comes naturally! You have to train them to be good. We gravitate to bad all of us - if you think otherwise test yourself - www.needgod.com
The other thing about this statement is that eBay don't believe people are good either!
They have so many policies & rules & warnings for people so that we all act in EXACTLY the way they want - WE ARE NOT BASICALLY GOOD! Ebay know that we are not good & know that people try to get away with anything they can!

Nothing bound by space, time or matter can know everything. To know everything you would have to know how many hairs on every animal through all time, which animal each grain of sand came from and where the oxygen molecules in every drop of water originated. Absolute knowledge (omniscience) is something reserved for the Creator!
Absolute Truth though is something even a child can know. For instance - you could teach a child over & over that an electric iron is hot. They may learn it by memory but still not know it. When the child is 30 - there is a chance that you could argue them with scientific facts & diagrams that they had been taught wrongly & that the iron was actually cold.
BUT - what if that child had one day reached out & touched the iron. His skin melted & stuck to the iron & the pain was intense? No matter how much time or convincing arguments - that person would know that the iron was hot!
What has that got to do with anything? Well only that I think it is about time you reached out & touched the iron! Is God real? stop beating around the bush & find out for yourself. Not intellectual knowledge but get burnt & KNOW FOR SURE!
