OMG! Someone took the bait and asked me! I am agnostic, which is not the same as aethiest. I beleive there is a god, but I do not beleive that we have the right to take it upon ourselves to decide what it thinks is right. I hate the high and mighty christians in particular, mostly do to their great numbers.
But if you are religious and come across this, more power to ya and your personal beleifs, just try to keep them personal and don't go saying crap like "If you're not saved, you're going to hell" to people you know beleive differently.

Yes, I do!!!
Its so annoying! How can people put so much faith in something/someone they have never seen. And even if you do believe, I agree with you, you should have your own views. How does anyone know what God thought was right and wrong. I know there's the Bible, but things change. Things that were acceptable then may not be now or vice versa.
i just like to get on and follow my own path, and not be scared to think certain things because I might go to Hell over it. And thats another thing, some Christians are so hypocritical. For example, saying if you do something bad you will go to Hell and then saying that God forgives everyone. If God forgives everyone for their sins then why would anyone go to Hell?!
Also, every war has a religion behind it somewhere. Since when does it say in any religion it is ok to kill people becaue they believe differently to you?! I'm sure their 'God' will be very pleased with that!!!

I respect religion... I have heard that when a man see's God even in vision .. he becomes so overwhelmed that he stops preaching and telling other's "follow me and you will be saved from the punishment of hell" He simply tries to show his love and devotion to God. Those who insist they only can save you from hell have actually no idea what this supreme power is. I read a short story written by A great saint in Bengal (India) He said that when 4 blind men try to touch the elephant and find out its shape they start quarelling. One touches the trunk and says elephant is soft, long. The other touches and legs and finds it different so starts quarrelling... Actually they all are right but they dont have complete knowledge about the elephant. God is the elephant.. Dear Friend, Just have faith in that power, love him and He will reveal you His shape and size

I don't have anything against religion. it's organized religion that i have a problem with. i think organized religion is the root af all that is evil on this planet. As far as i know(history isn't my strong point) the buddhists are the only ones not trying to force their beliefs down everyones throat. maybe that's why buddha is smiling.

i dislike religion in general as well. That doesn't mean, I'm no person, who thinks about religious questions. It's only that most religions tell one thing and does the other. Thats not the right way for me.

Religion
So far humans are not able to define the meaning of religion we say the GOD is one.
Then we say my GOD is greater than yours for humans the number of GOD is equal of number of me.
religion is a sword who cuts the holy GODs creation and its best construction humans into parts.
We are killing the religion with our hands and the armless humanity keeps crying.

Yup. It's the corporatisation of faith & takes away the individual spirit' communion with whatever is up there (apart from all the misuse that religion has been put to in history)

Yup - hands up here.
Dirty, filthy bunch of brainwashing, "do what I say or go to Hell" fuckwits who like to control people and communities then expect cash in return for their 'sage' advice and threats of eternal damnation.
Religion has had its day - time to move on in true peace and harmony, my friends:))

Both hands raised!!! It's an excuse for men to be extreamely nasty to each other. Yet mankind has always wanted something greater than himself to worship, so guess we're stuck with it.

that would include me
religion messes people up
it's the tower of babel
it causes factions among the human race
it robs us of our soul
abandon religion and just live a good life... don't live by such strict rules anymore

The angels of Satan definitely dislike religion. That is of course, if you're not Satanists.
