I've been viewing questions on scientology and other cults/religions and to be honest, being totally athiest I cannot believe how many people devote their lives to what i think are lies created to gain power.
Please don't take offence I do respect everyones personal beliefs, I am just expressing mine. Christianity for an example, is pushed on most of us in the UK, if we don't believe in god, we're told we're going to hell.
All I can say is there were some very good conmen that knew an easy way to earn lots of money and have lots of people following them. All it takes is some easilly led people, a book of very tall tales(written by man!) and threats of "your going to hell" if you don't believe! Just look at the riches and power the vatican has from it all, is that not proof?
In conclusion I think we should just enjoy our life, we only have time for one, shouldn't we use it wisely? Spending hours praying, to me is a waste of time, lets just be bad and enjoy ourselves.
