The problem with religions can be equated with the recent gay movement. I don't care what you believe in or do behind closed doors, just keep that shit out of my face. Problem is religious freaks are all around pushing their beliefs on you, just as gays are everywhere in the media showing off. How many reality shows now have at least one gay person on it? Every one. They try to cover all demographics by having all whites, one black, maybe one asian and a gay person.
Do what you want, believe what you want, but don't try to convince me that what you do is better than what I do. There's not such thing as an intelligent debate on religion with religious people. All they do is get angry and spout hate at you and really have nothing to back them up other than a book written by people years after events supposedly happened.
How did christianity and islam get so big anyways? From love? From talking? Neither, from war. They invaded villages, cities, countries and forced it on you. Believe or we'll kill you. Nice fucking faiths.
The worst part is 90% of what religions preach today isn't what was originated but was adopted over time. Rituals like praying, using prayer beads, having odd ceremonies. Christians and muslims can't even agree within their own religion. Southern baptists differ from catholics who differ from protestants etc...
Even politics today mirror what religion has been doing for years. Having you follow from fear and not belief. Fear the gov, fear the terrorist, fear this, fear that. Americans are scared of their own fucking shadow today, just like the average religious freak is. They are afraid of God, afraid of the devil. Scared to do anything that will not grant them in a place like heaven. A place that no one has ever proved exists.
Shame on everyone.
