Sorry for the late reply as I had more pressing matters. My grieveances with all organized religions and those that administrate them are many and would take some time to explain so here is an excerpt from a paper I wrote a few years ago on the subject in order to expedite the process. But the main point is that "god's will" is easily perverted to fit the ambitions of those that have the power to abuse it and that people are easily manipulated when that institution tells them that if they don't follow they just might be next.
"The Bible tells us to be like God, and then on page after page it describes God as a mass murderer. This may be the single most important key to the political behavior of Western Civilization." (Robert Anton Wilson) Throughout history mankind has looked at this chaotic cesspool of a world and has yearned for someone or something to make sense of it. And thus man created God, an omnipotent being in the image of man, to give order and meaning to an anarchic futile existence. ("Religion in Society" by L.D. Howe) In time worship of these deities became organized and religion was created; they soon established a chain of command and those in power quickly abused their authority. They exploited the masses by placing ignorance and zealotry as some of its key values thus allowing them to order their followers do any number of senseless deeds without so much as a thought as to why they should. They deemed nonbelievers as less than human in order for the "faithful" to be more willing to take part in their persecution. ("Religion in Society" by L.D. Howe) It didnâ't take much time for the clergy of these religions to advocate the genocide and rape of nonbelievers for the purpose of either their extermination or forcible conversion, the result of which is the various crusades, inquisitions, and ethnic cleansings that plague history. This in turn has created a sadistic cycle of violence that has persisted throughout millennia in one form or another. (The Freethought Zone "Morality and Religionâ")
Hi there!
Well, thank you for opening up some threads. It's always nice to share some points of views.
By the way, I try to be a christian, even though most people who know me usually are surprised to know this. Being christian is not about going to the mass and being afraid of God, it's more about having hope, trying to be honest with yourself and others and finally recognizing what's great around you. But that's the same thing with quite a good deal of religions...
