The thing about religion is this...
You need air to breathe- we get our air
You need food and water to live- we eat and drink
Religion is not required to live...flat out
If it was truly important dont you think it would have been bred into our systems that we require it??? Like a hunger sort of thing. Religion was
created by man thousands of years ago- the last thing I'm going to intrust my beliefs in is someone who lived thousands of years ago. If we all died
and I left a book with stories and beliefs, starting a new religion, would a world thousands of years ahead of us read it and believe it? Religion is
foolish. If there was a true religion- than why are there many religions? I used to be catholic...my family forced me into church and communion and
all that jazz. I wasn't into it. I never felt that by being in a MAN MADE church that it did me any justice compared to if I was just sitting in my
room, meditating. A bible is produced by a book company, yet treated as if its gold. Why because of whats in it? Stories that are purely fictional,
offer no proof of reality, and seem to exist only to present false ideas in peoples heads about heaven and hell. It's utterly ridiculous. Being
spiritual is the only way I feel close to "god". Its highly probable that there is one main creator or many creators so I am not against god. But
the god I imagine is real is far different than the Christian, Catholic, Muslim, or whoever else's god. If god wanted you to praise him all day- he
would force you to get down on your knees and pray. It would be bred into your mind- not forced into your mind by man. It makes me sick how far people
go for religion. It brings wars, causes many conflicts, and is only furthering us more from Peace. I'm sure anyone with a hint of religion hates my
guts at this point but know this. Right before the Roman empire was destroyed- People began to realize the same thing about religion. Divorces were
also at an all time high. These are things that relate highly to our culture. Most kids I know- don't believe in religion and they have no reason to.
Look at what it has done to the world. Nothing good has been done but everything has been done in the name of religion. I hate to sound like a scifi
nut but Aliens are real and you must be crazy to think that they'd be worshipping a book about false stories and beliefs like we do. If people could
grasp the idea that we are all from the same creator, universe, and etc. then maybe there'd be hope. But people are so wrapped up in religion that
its blinding them to the REAL world. The real world is bigger than just Earth. Its universal. Knowledge of this planet is only about this planet.
People need to grasp that there is life everywhere. I am not against people who believe what they believe- you have a right to and I fight for that
right...but all I'm saying is- think for yourself instead of being told to because "its been passed down to you from generation to generation".
Ghosts must be real, I think with all the UFO activity we can claim Aliens are real, and if you start thinking about life as a whole instead of just
life on this planet- you'll realize there are bigger things than religion. Someone wrote those scripts- people followed them because they were too
ignorant to think on their own- they've been passed down to you- some of you will change, some of you wont. In the end all I can hope is that the
people I care for realize that there's more to life than some scripture and people going to "heaven and hell". Makes me sick....
