religion is a burden on the human essence. religion especially christianity perverts humanity through restrictions.
thanks for the title. what do you think about the subject
I fixed a lot of the holes in this rant, should be somewhat ok now
Please read below
My definition of Religion: It is essentially a primitive version of science , an mystified uninformed attempt of explaining existance and a control for the populous by harnessing or creating fear or love of death with well written stories and a history of support by ingnorant fools.
There are over 20,000 different religions worshiping various versions of gods but which one is right? Just the fact that this number of variations exist and the fact that they all think they are right sharply falsifies organized religion and its ideals. You cant have 20,000 extremely different versions of the same right. God would have left us in his worship with a single religion if that is in fact what he wanted us to do, worship him and follow so called words from god like the Bible or the Quran limiting our ability to abvance to the actual truth. This being the way that he seems to tell us how to worship and live…which of course was written by humans who knows when… Im not saying that there is no god but we have no way of knowing either way and religion is definatly not the answer. It only seems to limit and destroy us. Cant you just have faith in the possibility rather than commit to some random scripture out of thousands, deciding everything you do in regards to it. Yes there are supposedly followed peaceful values and certain good morals which is one of the only good things about religion. But the most important value is thinking for yourself, not dulling your fear of death and existance with absurd fairy tales and support faith in something that isnt even there, like the easter bunny.
When I say god below, I am speaking of all of the different versions of god
Religious Fanatics……. All programmed to destroy our planet directly and indirectly. These types of assholes are the whole reason that we have been held back from our true abilities as humans. The crusades, the Spanish inquisition, every murder of possible or factual scientific discovery pretty much any war or pointless slaughter is all tied to some sort of religious bullshit, some desire for power. What leader hasn’t been religious in some way? Somehow most of the world accepts folk lore, and half ass mystical explanations for reality with no evidence. Why? Because the majority has not evolved yet to self-thinking beings, and the people that should be leading us are either afraid, depressed, or held back by the tyranny and control of the ignorant. It doesn’t take much intelligence to work with the system and learn how to make money, all you need is the desire and discipline. With money comes power which would explain why so many stupid asses somehow become powerful. Somehow lead a country, somehow become responsible for a military, and the little red button that will lead to our demise. It just seems so baffling, but its pretty obvious why it happens. The majority is full of ignorant dumbasses and that’s pretty much it. The majority is either uncapable of comprehending reality as it lays its self out before you, or they haven’t seen through the haze. They have been programmed for so long that they don’t know anything else. They don’t think to question. Somehow they trust god fully and cant trust other people. Even as “god†obviously doesn’t deserve trust. Trust in god so that you might randomly die? Walk out of church and get hit by a mack truck? Get some random disease, take some bullet, feel the wrath of some psychopath murderer, some asshole president. Trust in their god so that the most important next steps we need to take towards a purer more efficient existence are all held back by religion? Why would we discover all this in the first place?
A test, a test! oh come on is that your answer for everything?
Society ruled by religion has been and will always be extremely dismal, dark and lacking. The dark ages, the middle east, the Christians and the catholics, the jews, the death of brilliant minds by the hand of the religious retards. Oh shit, he was right maybe we shouldn’t have beheaded him…… Every society tied to religion is doomed to downfall because it is religion itself which limits it. In many different ways. Its funny, its taken us thousands of years to do 200 years scientific advancement. What held us back the other 5000 or so years? Religion……
I cut this writing below from another writing , so it kinda veers off a little, but not too much 
There is so much death and destruction carried out throughout the world that is pointless. Murders, dictators slaughtering their own people for pretty much no reason, the innocents killed with every murder tool, every “woops†thought there were terrorists there, every suicide bomber, every rape and pilage, every conquer, every genocide, every blend of religion and law. This cycle of violence and distruction is inescapable as we head now. If the world carries on much longer with the mindset that it has, we are doomed to destruction, but unlike the dinosaurs, we are doomed to destroy ourselves. That is quite a feat if you think about it. We evolved into a beings that were able to bring about all this, to sustain our lives. To build things and understand complex processes. Manipulating the world around us to beat the odds. To prolong life as well as take it quicker. We have come this far only to build up a society that both limits and destroys itself with its own creations. But of course the whole course of our history has been polluted with the same ignorance and fools. Mostly driven by religion, whearas you can hide behind your god and slaughter people in his name. Going directly against what little importance religion serves, moral teachings. Hypocrites for thousands of years, kinda disgusts me that it still has not changed as I type this now. How can this primitive science/explaination for our existence still be relevant? How can it still decide what we as humans should do? Even now that we have miraclulously made it far enough to make the scientific advances that we have, it still persists. Even after we have disproven many of the claims of religious scripture. It still persists. Humans do not cherish life like most claim, if they did none of the horrible things we have done as humans would have happened. It takes a majority to have the power of laying out whats right and wrong. The problem is the majority seems to pretend like they are life loving religious people when really they are a psychotic lynch mob, allowing murder, inhumane conditions, the spread of ignorance and the loss of rational and logical direction througout the world while they sit in their little bubble serve as roots for the evils bringing this upon us. We don’t hold it seriously, we don’t pay attention to what is true, what is realistic, what is logical. When I say we I mean the entire human race as a whole, not the individuals that make it up. I know that there are obviously people that do not follow this path of destruction. Just the interesting trend that many of our potential bright minds end up commiting suicide because they cant relate to the rest of the monkeys points to the fact that our values are ass backwards…we should value intelligence and enlightenment rather than foolish ignorance.
The different makeups of humanity seem to point the finger at the who did it, and the who did it points the finger at the who does it and so on down the chain back to its origin and in reality they all did it so to speak.
Fear: the feeling of absence of power, it is undoubtedly the mother of morality and religion
Fear is the bi-product produced in the absence of feeling power, control or understanding in a situation where the desire for these are great.
You give the masses any one of these and they will do anything you say. Even if it isnt true. As long as “fear” isn’t being produced.
Or something like that. Basically solidifying your statement
Im glad to see so much intelligible profitable discussion going on here. (?!)
Sounds like today’s politics with all its spin.
But don’t you think man have a say whether he heeds or even acknowledges what was revealed? Some men even say that there is no such thing as revelation. So can God be blamed entirely?
and
So aren’t you here creating yet another religion to the 20000 you mentioned and maybe two new gods called peace and ‘yourself’?
Have you considered the possibility that religion is, well, merely religion? And that the true God do not need your religion, or any religion? In fact religion is a fake, a deception, something that substitutes and pretends to be god; to lead people away from the true God, and to cause God to be blasphemed, such as by committing much atrocities, destruction, injustice, captive of the human mind and spirit, etc in the name of religion, as we are seeing it all around us today and from the past?
Deluded in other words.
And finally with regards to science, you seems to be an honest chap, brutally honest in fact, and no qualms calling a spade for a spade, so do you sincerely think or believe that science is everything? ie all the world need is science, and not as the song, by the Beatles, that goes, “All you need is love …”
Word. Perhaps true religion is so treasurable, so ecstatic, so satisfying that it transcends all logic to the point where you cannot truly “do” religion, but rather it must be done for you by a infinite, benevolent “other.”
Gentlemen, you have obviously not read my signature file.
“The glory of God is a human being fully alive.”
“The glory of God is a human being fully alive.”
“The glory of God is a human being fully alive.”
That was said by a canonized Saint, a Father of the Christian church
– so that is the orthodox attitude toward human achievement in this world.
So stop denying your glory and give credit to the one glorying through you!
And one more time…
According to some philosophers, (Hegel comes to mind) humans need structure in their environment.
they need to hate gay people, not whack off, eat crackers for an hour every sunday, be the popes bitch, force yourself to believe in something that doesnt make sense and that you have no reason to believe, worship mindless fetuses? these are the kinds of structures hegel thinks we need? doubt it, ill bet hegel would say we should be quakers.
theres one way to be religious without the stranglehold of retarded pointless doctrine clogging your life: quakerism. there is no doctrine, only the golden rule. absolutely everything about this religion is a logical conclusion of what you would do if you asked all your neighbors what they would want you to do for them. no priests, no expensive church, no stupid doctrine that youre forced to follow
Well mostly it was a rant, there are a lot of holes in my pointed essay. I know this, and saw them when I over read it. Mostly wrote this in response to Bush being re elected because I was so pissed. I am in no way saying that god does not exist because that would be foolish for there is no evidence supporting that either. We basically DONT KNOW, and have no imidiate way of knowing, but of course statements like
"Gentlemen, you have obviously not read my signature file.

“The glory of God is a human being fully alive.”
“The glory of God is a human being fully alive.”

some how seem to be the only “evidence” or “proof” the religious psychos can provide and it all comes from the stories they read. No solid evidence, just fanaticism. Not just christians, or catholics, or jews, muslims, buddists ect… ALL OF THEM. Some valuing wisdom, others valuing idealism and restriction, all valuing ignorance.
The book! The book is your evidence! HAH where is the evidence that the book is evidence? if that makes sense. Seriously…do you believe every word you hear? Its funny, all you need is a good public speaker and you can control any moronic populous. Look at Hitler.
Religion is a brilliant form of government, simply brilliant. It has survived the times and is going no where fast. Its diconcerting however because I grew thinking humanity was seeking “truth” when really they are settling for faith in ignorance, lacking logic and reasoning. Its quite strange.
Thanks for acknowledging my honesty!
You have pointed out many of my mistakes Yay someone thinking! Well I believe in science of course, for it is the only truth we have ever found. But of course we should limit oursleves to “intelligent” ventures. I have faith in science and our scientists, its our world that corrupts them. It is important that scientific advancement be controlled by the scienctists, not ignorant, arrogant fools like the ones that gave us religion. As always some sort of preventive measures should be in place and I believe science understands this importence(Scientific Method etc (something religion never had). They arent foolish I would hope. Hope is all you have when dealing with things you cant control…love, hope Like the beatles song. If we all had love, we wouldnt be having problems would we? I would think not. But who knows.
What would you classify as intelligible? A properly written document following some set standards? Come on, be INTELLIGENT It is about communication not standards. Sure standards are neccesity, but a discussion does not need perfection, it needs substance.
And even if my writing isnt the greatest…there is plenty of substance and obvious truth in my pointed rant
