What’s Wrong with Religion

To begin with - religion does not agree with other religions. They hate each other. The Jews, Christians, and Mulsims cut each other’s throats because they cannot agree as to what will happen to them after their throats have been cut. Well, even the Christians do not agree with other Christians. The four canonized Gospel writers in the bible contradict one another. The Gospel of Matthew tells us that Jesus was an aristocrat descended from David from Solomon. The Gospel of Luke tells us that Jesus was from much more humble stock. The Gospel of Mark tells us that Jesus was born of a poor carpenter. After his birth Jesus was visited by kings according to Matthew, but according to Luke, he was visited by shepherds. At Jesus’ death, the Gospel of Mark and Matthew tell us Jesus’ last words were “My God, My God, why hast forsaken me?” But according to Luke he said, “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit,”And in John, he says simply, “It is finished.” Indeed, how could the Gospel writers remain pure in spirit when one pollutes the other with the trash of discrepancies, if not the garbage of contradictions?
