The idea to remember when accepting your religion, is to know all that you can and should know about your religion, or to at least have the attempt at pursuing the answers. I (being Scott) along with Passion (being herself) pursue truth, fact, logic, and reason when looking at religion.....which is to say a religion was not found.....but the absence....Atheism. This doesnt mean we persecute those who are religious, we just have that given choice to stay skeptical. The leading religion in society to today would be that of Christianity, and i suppose.....that is where we should start.
My (Passion's) main problem with religion is that they are judgemental towards certain groups of people such as homosexuals, people of other world religions, and people who think for themselves. If it is said that "God" or "Jesus" love everyone, then why would it matter if people were gay? Why would it matter if they believed in a different diety than the Christian "God," or the Baptist "God," or Buddha, or "Allah?" Who's to say one "God" is above another, who's to say that they're not the same person---or not, they might just mythological creatures just like unicorns. Too many people are afraid to think that there is nothing after death and therefore they design this fabulous world ffor the dead who lived what "God" would deam a "good life." Those that fail at living said life, end in an eternity of fire in hell. Bullshit.
In addition (Scott enters here) the pure psychopathy in it....To have your creator who is great and almighty have such an insane personality disorder....because no matter what, god loves you.....in the same respect, he will send you to a hellish place of Pain, Suffering, and Chaos to remain for the rest of time in the purest agony......but remember......god loves you. We have people who dont even know the book they read, i can say without testing and the uptmost confidence in my own adventures with religious individuals to say that a good portion DONT know that it supports slavery. Colossians 4:1 "Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven." Not only does it condone it, but it shows your pure service to your creator, the one you follow so greatly. I ask you this, with this great idea of a pycopathic religion, tell me you a difference from this and a mass world cult other than its immidiate death of its members or persecution of others?
I only focus on christianity because it is the dominant religion.....and the others are just even more obsured, the cross paths into fiction stories told of fantasy and adventure as a child. Another great example of Psycopathy in religion is the Catholic priests that prey on children. Ive had hear much more often than i wanted to about sex scandals in these churchs. Being a Catholic priest, you do not marry, and you do not give into lust. But here we have budgets being made JUST to cover up these sorts of problems, and for what? to keep the public unknowing so you can come to a church and continue to think that there is no corruption in this religion.....i leave with this.....the idea of Faith, will only get you so far, and i hope you use what you have, logic....to at least question the ideas.....because if you are able to do it, then why shouldnt you???
