religion
Something that has surely lasted the wrath of time. Despite this, it is fundamentally wrong (every year we learn more about how religion is bullshit), and often racially intolerable (kill the Jews! Ok, now kill the Muslims! All right, whoever's left: kill the Buhdists!). Has been the cause of many great wars, including the most famous of all: the Crusades, of which there were seven, if I remember correctly. It is an excuse to murder, it is a scapegoat in all its forms (well, shit, I just shot my wife--GOD MADE ME DO IT! SHE WAS AN AGENT OF LUCIFER!!!).
I do not simply attack Christianity or Catholicism, no, ALL religons are based off a false worship of some supernatural being that simply is not there. There is no evidence for this (beyond, often, a book--e.g. the Bible--which can obviously not prove the existance of the text withtin it) and whole heaping loads of evidence against.
I like how preople bring up atheists like we are bad What the hell kind of retort is this? What, not believing in God makes you a horrible monster?: Hitler was a fucking Catholic. He murdered millions in his holy quest to destroy the Jews; he claimed he was "Doing the Lords work" and, upon the eve of his war on Russia, the Pope CONGRATULATED his efforts. Throughout the war he was not excommunicated.
In the Middle East countries war over something as silly as nonexistant entities. Since the begginging of recorded history man has made war on other men because they refused to worship the same invisible diety as another.
And for what? Something that doesn't even fucking exist. It's illogical; it's evil. If I could, I would wipe every religion from the face of the Earth and start fresh. Fuck religion. It solves nothing and creates all sorts of unnecesary shit.
A man once said 'Religion is a tool the Devil uses to play man against himself'. Try not to take the 'Devil' part to seriously and imagine the Devil as a force and how the 'Devil' plays on emotions like insecurity. All religions believe they are right and all the other thousands of religions are wrong, the more people that believe in a certain religion the more they all feel they are right eg: if there was a religion with say only 5 members everyone would laugh there beliefs off without question but the more people that believe in something the more it is taken as genuine. Now when a large number of people believe in something different to what another large number of people believe it makes them feel insecure in the way of making them feel there might be a chance they might not be right. This is why you get religious wars, if the opposing people wont believe in what you do then you kill them and with them out of the way and no more opposing views, you feel secure again also a lot of religions recruit with fear eg: Catholics use the fear of hell and tell people that if you dont believe in what they do that is where you are going and they tell Catholic childern this from a very young age in an attempt to stop them from leaving the religion in later life. This is what has happened throughout history and will continue to happen if religion exists although a lot of religious poeple dont feel thretened by others there will always be the insecure ones that cant stand people believing in things they do, people should be able to believe in what they want as long as there a good person, people should be able to look at life and make there own decisions on what they want to believe, and kids should certainly not be brought up with there parents telling them what to believe, sure there parents can tell them what they believe but at the same time tell them they can believe whatever they want to believe in as long as they are a good person. Just remember most religions are nearly identical in there morals eg peace, love, charity etc its just the different ways of worship that divide them, and these are what calls all the wars which is so stupid if you think about it and worship is what devines a religion, so if you take out worship what do you have: 'Good Morals'. Religious people need to take there living morals seriously but have a less intense and serious approach to worship or things like: what happens when you die, is god a man or is god a not of sex, was Jesus really the sun of God or was he a prophet, none of these things really matter on a day to day basis its the living morals that really count.
See, what gets me is how bad you guys stereotype "religion" and "Christianity" and even "God". Some of you have a total misconception and are totally incorrect about what any of it really is. Don't know where you got those ideas, and to be honest it really doesn't matter. They are simply wrong, period.
Church leaders are merely that, leaders. Just like you have a teacher in front of the class to teach, yet why don't people say we are all just following him/her? We don't, right? We're merely there to LEARN something? Why is it that church is any different for some of you? Why is it that if we go to church suddenly we become these mindless Zombies falling and kissing the feet of our "leaders"??? That is FAR from the truth. We may listen. We may even agree. We certainly don't fall and kiss their feet like they are GODS. You guys are so intent on believing the hype that you lose total sight of common sense. Catholics listen and follow the teachings of the Pope because he is the highest educated leader in their church organization. They do NOT think he's God. They do NOT think what he says is the gospel. Just like we agree or disagree with our President or Boss, they do the same thing. Doesn't mean they WORSHIP him. If they do, they are in total disagreement with what the Bible teaches.
People falsely think that because you pray a certain way or say certain verses of the Bible that you suddenly become this hollier-than-thou person that casts stones at all those that don't believe. That is far from the truth. It may happen every once in a while, but name anything that doesn't have an exception to it's rule. Often times the church and religion tries to teach us to be tolerant rather than judgemental. Some of us do a lousy job at learning that, I admit it. But for people to go around professing that the reason they don't believe in God at all because they have a bad taste in their mouth from some "church goer" is totally missing the boat all together.
It's only about one thing and it always has been: God. Do you believe, yes or no? If so, are you willing to follow? If so, here's how. Period. End of discussion. That is what "religion" is about at it's very core. There are many different ideas out there on how to get from point A to point B, and this is where YOU have to decide which one is the one YOU believe in.
If you need a burning bush to tell you, you missed the boat.
If you need Jesus to come down in a cloud and tap you on the head to believe, you missed the boat.
If you think that a "church" makes you a better follower because it's big and fancy and has lots of members, then you missed the boat.
If you feel that there is no purpose to life besides what is tangible, then you certainly missed the boat.
Why do we build such fancy schools? Could we not get the same level of learning from setting up a few benches in front of a lonely chalkboard in the middle of a pasture? Why not? Why do we really "need" a huge gymnasium to learn? Why do we need new books? Why do students need lockers or chairs? Can they not learn standing up? Do we really need trophy cases to learn? Why not allow a teacher to be a homeless person, after all who better to teach our children about "real life"?
Now think about that when you come down and pass judgement on a church you've never even been in. Think about it.
