Its hair-splitting dogma.

GODS DON'T HAVE RELIGION, PERIOD!
Just who authorizes who in office?
The spirit is of the spirit, and the flesh is of the flesh, self- deception is the greatest error man can commit!
Mere ignorance and pure speculation has blaspheme the very scriptures to their own liking and GENDER has even made it worst!
Majority of men are not even worthy of their own robes, and whatever happen to those unpublished sexual harrasment cases? Being RELIGIOUS has nothing to do with war, separation, sects! MAN is the true religion of god in expression, not labels! MAN KNOW THYSELF! (the kingdom of god is within you)
I can prove you my god in 30minutes if you demand it of me, not just "this is this and that is that" because i say so?
It's all about connection to the spirit and reflecting this connection in reality! isn't it not clear that a popular scripture says; and Ye are gods?
Then live, act and speak like one and all will be revealed to you! Sorry to say but the scriptures are left to the chosen few who have been inspired by the spirit by virtue of initiation!
No gods can and will come in cheap! It is unbecoming!
AND NO MAN CAN BRIBE A GOD!
The Law is the Law! God may forgive you but His Law will remain! Don't tell me that you go to confession today and you're free again to commit murder, robbery, rape and come back again the next day for simple prayer of penance and you're off the hook? What are the laws for, paperwork?
THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DOING GOOD AND DOING RIGHT!
Again, being religious and religion are entirely two different things!

Oh, I don't have a problem with religion.
I have a problem with people.
Specifically people who believe that only they are right. That their truth is the only truth. That what is good for them must be good for everyone. That because they are right everyone who believes differently is wrong.
They exist everywhere, sadly. Not just in religion.

It is based on man's understanding of Truth. If you are a reflection of Truth do you need a religion? God is Truth. Religions are someone getting a piece of truth and others following that instead of findint their own connection to God, though the provided door.

The fact that it is extremely overused and closed-minded. People use religion as an excuse for everything.

Faith. The concept is completely irrational. In fact, that's quite what it means: belief in the absence of evidence, or even in the face of evidence to the contrary. We wouldn't accept such a standard of belief in law or science or economics, so why should we accept it in spiritual matters?

The hate. Religion teaches its individuals a militant approach to converting new members. Sharing your spiritual thoughts and feeling is acceptable. Preaching them is not.

The way people only see it, and not God. Religion's the first thing most people see, and they become prejudiced against anything to do with God because of that.

With religion? Nothing. Religion itself is just a thing.
Its the followers that turn into fanatics and start ruining/interfering with other peoples lives.

Their desire to control people. To make us behave according to their personal ideals. To not give us any choice if we're children born or brought into it by a converted family. The money they convince us to give away in order to be saved. The list goes on and on.

Holier than thou hypocrites who profess having a direct pipeline to God's ear. The most religious people among us in my view are those working for mankind's betterment, not those whose hands are folded each Sunday at Church and follow a "myself before all others philosophy outside of it.
