How do you define human experience? And do you think religion limits, stifles, and smothers natural human experience to an extent? Sex, partying, fun, philosophy, individual expression, individual thought process, bawdiness, humor, being wild, feeling carefree, believing in many paths...etc is all sinful in some way or other. So do you think religion, labeling so much of human experience as "sin" (almost everything in fact), is limiting many people?
Or do you think it keeps them docile, shameful, obedient, grim, naive, and obtuse --- and are those good qualities to have in a day and age where violence and craziness runs rampant?
Thoughts?
Please play nice, everyone :)
