I just hate all organized religion~ ALL OF IT

[Purple Banana]

The thing is, I'm all for freedom of religion, obviously. I'm Atheist myself, former Roman Catholic/Lutheran/Baptist (Went to a LOT of different churches in my younger years) and the only issue I have with religion is the religious fanatics who are seriously impeding science; causing monumental delays that could save millions of lives. I'm talking stem cell research and all; abortions are another issue that I do not understand- RELIGIOUS OR NOT, MEN, YOU HAVE NEVER HAD A CHILD. You do not know what women go through.

Now I do NOT NOT NOT advocate abortion as a means of birth control AT ALL. Rape, incest, a clear danger to mom and fetus, and financial status are all legitimate reasons for abortion IF A WOMAN CHOOSES TO. But men SHOULD not be against something that has VERY little to do with them.

Creationism should be taught in religion class. Not science, not now, not ever. It is not a heavily researched scientific POV; science is not taught in theology classes, therefore, keep religion IN religion classes ONLY.

If you do not support evolution, then by all means, DO NOT get a flu vaccine, antibiotics, blood transfusions, and a variety of other surgeries- they have been almost perfected thanks to the research of scientists and doctors who firmly believe in evolution. If you believe in something, STICK with it. Don't go back and forth like an idiot. Play your cards.

For those anti-Arab Southern Baptists and other prejudice Christians, you do realize that Jesus was most likely an Arabic-looking man with a shaggy coarse beard, dark skin and dark eyes due to his geographic location and time period? Don't give me that silky brown hair, blue eyes, and pure white Aryan skin he is shown to have in paintings galore.

Your god is supposedly forgiving and blind to color and race, although the Bible is debated to be against homosexuality, TREAT EVERYONE with the same respect that your Jesus taught you. Don't hate, it proves nothing.

Otherwise, I have absolutely no problem with religion whatsoever.

I wish I were religous. At least I'd feel like I had a purpose. Sometimes I feel just like a stick in the mud. Like everyones going to be more sucessful then me and no matter how I try I cant motovate myself to get things done. I fucking hate my school. I hate it SO GODDAMN MUCH! None of my friends really get me. Hell sometimes I dont get me. I need to go to sleep. maybe ill feel better in the morning. Shit, look at me. Im posting this up for a buch of goddamn strangers. I might as well be talking to a machine. Somebody respond and give me some attention.

You and I are one. Lol. You pretty much just described me... except I don't have a therapist.

Yea, well, dont let me fool you, I'm not that fucked up. I just have episodes were I freak. I'm a mellow guy with short very colorful outbursts. And my therapist is more for theraputic purposes than say, if I was coping with a mental disease. But I do believe what I said. I wouldn't think it sucked so much if I havent seen myself have moments where I'm incredibly social and inspired and creative. So all the time when I'm not that, I feel like I'm doing myself a disservice.

Man, he shares my philosophy. : ) It some ways.

I honestly can't believe that anyone out there, anywhere, could care enough about someone to love them without a doubt. That's just impossible. Also, religion is just a bit moronic. We waste our lives indulging in something that is more than likely fiction so why? Why try? Sure, there is a possibility it is true, but there's still a possibility that it's false. But I guess I'm contradicting myself.

if it's true your doing whats right. if it's false then some how atoms poped outa no where and made life and your life is POINTLESS, with it being pointless why not kill every liveing soul in the world and keep it all for your self tell you die like every one befor you? why care if there is No God? No Judge.

for some reason you have a concience but you should go agenst it and not care. you would be misserable if you did that.

I choose to love people and life and try to help thoses who are lost and want to know God.

Krogith, enough with the "pointless" argument already. There is no physical law stating that life and matter must have meaning in order to exist. We created meaning and put importance on it, but it's only the result of our ego's that we're so convinced our lives must be the center of importance. This argumen speaks more of a desire than a train of logic.

Spoken like a true ignorant monotheist who thinks god is the only faith or philosophy a person can find meaning in.
