I Hate Religion
I hate religion as I no love for anything that's based on fear. Fear never promotes mental growth. Fear is never a reflection of intellectual maturity. I hate religion because it enhances deadly believing, not lively thinking. Nothing evolved in religion. The religious lies and deception during the first century are still same lies and deception in this 21st century. If religion had been more about the courage to live, and not about the fear of death; indeed, if religion were about the search of the truth, and not that this or that is the truth – I would have learned to love passionately, not hate religion justifiably. Religion has been more about being a part of the security system organized by the church. It is a great business for gaining wealth, power, and glory. Sadly, however, there is no such thing as a security system anywhere in this world. Not as long as there is birth, growth, death, and decay. In the ultimate analysis, however, if religion had never taught that to be human means to be evil, fallen, and in need of rescue - religion need not have proceeded to be one of the greatest of evils that keep the human race still pretty much bogged down in disgrace.

I too have this horrible feeling about religion. The people are nice and mean well, but it just seem so extremely artificial. there's nothing individual about it, one book cannot possibly fit everyone. Plus these books were written by people who say they heard the word from above. I believe in my own spirituality and my own interpretation of the afterlife, if there is any. Religion makes you live without any responsibility. Jesus take the wheel! why not take a little responsibility for your own life? why is it that religious fanatics are broke and in desperate need for depression counseling? Maybe, just maybe did it occur to them that it's all the hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup that they keep allowing to enter in the sacred temple of God? Why give up and say God will take care of it all? this doesn't fix anything!
