Dump the junk!!!

Many a times in history, criticizing religion has been seen in the same light as criticizing God, or his infinite wisdom. This to me sounds more like some form of scare tactics used in order to tug the few left on the fence onto the side of the defined norms. Over history and time, each and every new invention has had there day in the sun until they are transitioned, onto better, improved versions or are discarded as they expire their utility; this is the law of evolution. The moment you stop this, you fail to evolve and you are stuck in a time warp.

This is where we come to think of the ideology that is known to us as religion. Don’t get me wrong here, I am a confirmed agnostic. I truly don’t know if there is a God or we are just here all by ourselves. But hear me out; that is not the issue here. Religion has had its time and has given all it has to offer to humanity, and its evolutionary history. But its way past its due date; the human species should have abandoned this ideology a long time ago. Hasn’t it caused enough pain in the world already?

If you’ve been listening to something all your life, it’s really hard not to instinctively start trusting it. Its just human nature, familiarity breeds trust. This is the one single reason, if you ask me, which has resulted in the prolonged propagation of this belief in religion. We’ve are told about religion, asked to follow it even before we can differentiate between good and bad, the idea is almost shoved down our throat; I am not blaming our parents or saying they didn’t mean well for us. I am just questioning the logic behind following a set norm, generation after generation without questioning its validity. I am sure a lot of us know better then this now. We as a single species should collectively move away from this norm and not stall the natural evolution of mankind towards a better more improved version of itself.

Religion just sucks!!!

2 things that i observed

1. You doubt the existence of God
2. You sound rebellious with the view point of following a belief since its been propogated in a protracted manner.

Now i cant decipher the reason why u think "Religion suxx"
Just avoid the doubt, and understand the salutary influence of the religion.
May be it is not the religion but its the malformed struture of it, we are following
Think :)

Its not religion that sucks. Its the human interpretation (or rather mis-interpretation) of it that sucks...Apparently you havent learnt it either...

maybe my interpretation is wrong? whatever, the point is when you try and take something so personal and enforce it onto the mass, someone, somewhere will obviously raise an objection leading to conflict at somepoint...
i've absolutely no problem with any of these so long it remains strictly personal. the moment someone starts telling otherwise is when i'ld like to yell "go F$^&* yourself"!!!
