Religion...what can I say...why waste time trying to talk about it?? Because it has been plaguing the world for thousands and thousands of years. To many people have died and too many wars have been faught over this source of false hope. I believe that people need a religion for a sense of immortality. You know, my body dies but my soul lives on type thing. There are the mindless followers of these religions and then there are thinkers who chose to doubt what was taught to them by thier supposed leaders of their religion. The thinkers try to make sense of what they were taught instead of following on blind faith and hoping that when it all goes down that they were right. Me personally, I think and chose to live my life by moral guidelines set by myself and not by a set of rocks that were inscribed 2000 or so years ago. As you can probally tell I am bitter towards the christian religion...but, I am NOT bitter towards christians so if you take offense to this, don't think I hate you...because I don't. I could give a shit what anyone thinks...I have expressed my opinions and would appreciate it if any hardcore Christians would not send me any e-mails telling me " Jesus is the answer and God will save me". The only reason I say this is because it has happened before and it is quite annoying.
