I belive that religion was created to keep the masses in line. I think that most people go nuts if they can't have all the answers so they belive in religion. Well I'd rather be nuts than belive that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree... |
this is exactly what i think of every time someone reminds me to repent of my sins. christians are betting their very souls on their personal religion. well guess what? so are buddhists and muslims and every other religion out there. so stop acting like its not possible for any other religion to be correct because honestly, none of them can be proven. you can believe with all your heart that your religion is true. but you cant PROVE it. so stop trying to convince people
