One more thing I left out. I believe in the human race as a collective to be better than what we are currently.
I believe that we all have the power to love and help each other unconditionally.
I believe that we as humans do in fact have the power to eliminate our oppressors and annihilate these old, worn out concepts of religion and create a new understanding on the parameters of life, and its impact on how we are.
Yes, I know. Love is the central tenant of pretty much all religions, which is why I added "squabbling." When we fight over who's right and who's wrong, we forget about love and become selfish, throwing compassion out the window.

Love is what is part of Christianity, the true people that practice it. I love my fellow human.

Alright folks, a lot of you are going to tear me apart, but it has become too much to bear to the point where this must be released from my mind. I would like to start off by saying with regards to this matter, that I have read the bible, Qur'an, and the Mormon bible, so ultimately I read before I criticize, and after I have put the books down and analyzed what I had read, I laughed uncontrollably because I cannot understand why people choose to believe in such absurd stories to validate their own existences, to raise a family under and so forth.
so you're stating how absurd it is that people fixate on religion yet you are amusingly doing the same in this long winded post of yours. You see the irony? How about like these people you step away from whatever you're doing an occupy yourself with something more productive. It is not like this post is going to dazzle the masses and make them wake up your supposed pearls of wisdom after all so this post and the replies you will make to it are just time wasted.
By your own admission it has gotten to much to bear.You allowed yourself to become over run with negative emotions which again should have been addressed and removed before it became this bottled up.
At best i think you need to follow your own advice before you attempt to hand it out to others.
First and foremost sir or ma'am. No one asked you to read this long winded post.
Second, I read before I criticize as I am not an ignorant tool.
Third, it is too much to bear because I wish this world were filled with people who were able to separate logic from fantasy. You seem to be incapable of understanding the reasoning behind this post, but that is alright. Not everyone can be the sharpest tool in the shed. How about you take a look in the mirror and realize that you probably don't have the audacity to do something like this, and read material which completely contradicts everything you believe in with an objective opinion.
The bottom line is, I am lamenting because our species should be a lot further along scientifically and technologically. But because of bible pushers and people blocking progress, we are still wallowing in insanity and fanaticism over expired ideals and belief systems.

While not yet proven, there is a ton of evidence to support the big bang. Do you have any evidence to support creationism?

The "ton of evidence" has been formed upon and developed from numerous hypotheses. It is just as impossible to apply scientific method to the big bang theory as it is to apply scientific method to the existence of God. Hence the current stalemate mankind is experiencing.

Buddhism would like to have a word with you... It pretty much trumps this entire quote.

Whereas religion falls apart if it's proven that there is no God or that religion is based on fraudulent information. Science has no ego. Religion is ALL ego.edit on 26-6-2012 by grahag because: For grammar
