| It seems that religion is part of the reason we can�t get along. Sure it�s human sinfulness that abuses the system, just like any other philosophy that�s been invented, but the more we see everyone as brothers or sisters, or brothers pretending to be sisters, in this human family then the less we have to fight about. There will always be a difference in the sexes but besides this there shouldn�t be much division. Skin colour is just permanent clothes. Heterosexual/ Homosexual? The human bodies are 97% the same anyway. It�s the artificial differences, the man made divisions that start to bug me. People are pigeon holed into sections, which gives them something to fight about. Who cares if a person comes from Germany or Sweden? We all evolved from Africa so, does it matter? I see religion as one of these needless, artificial barriers that we�ve imposed upon ourselves, more division in the world . It can give people�s lifes meaning, but it so happens that these people are looking for meaning. If all the troubles were sorted out then s Surely God would be happier to see his people living in a better world without religion than a world fighting amoung itself. He�d have to be an egotistical being to rate prayers and praise over peace. but I think the world would be a better place if we placed faith in ourselves rather than an invisible entity to sort out our troubles. Don�t have faith in a God, have faith in yourself. You have you�re own view so look out of the window. |
