Religion – it’s a controversial subject, we all have our own beliefs.
Personally organized religion does nothing for me.
I do not believe in the bible, I do not believe in an almighty creator who goes by the name of “god” who resides in heaven and watches over us as his creations. I am spiritual and I do have a belief that we are here to grow and learn, I believe in an after life and I also believe that people are mostly good and live life according to their own morals that hopefully include treating others how we would like to be treated as that is how I try and live my life.
I am not perfect, I do judge, I do get selfish and I can be a little hedonistic – I have vices and faults, have made errors of judgment although I rarely have regrets as I believe mistakes are a lesson. Basically I consider myself to be a nice person but I am very aware that I am not perfect (Im not even sure Id want to be). I have a big issue with feelings though, I love and hate strongly!
This post is about what I HATE about religion.
What I hate more than anything is when people get all high and mighty about their beliefs and try and inflict them on others.
I also hate those who turn up to their place of worship once week yet do harm by word and action to others for the other 6 days.
I hate extremists and I hate those who think they have the right to judge others who do not share their beliefs. I hate how many wars, deaths and injustices are inflicted in the name of religion. I hate that the world has become divided by spiritual belief.
I have friends who do not believe in any god, I have friends who are Catholic, Muslim, Jewish and Buddhist. Whilst I love these people I do not agree with their beliefs completely but just as I have my right to my beliefs I feel they have their right to their own. It works for us – why?
RESPECT. I respect their right to their views and they do the same for me.
Regardless of what name you wish to appoint Him/Her – if a god does exist I can not believe that such an entity would have an issue as to what path someone follows to find “God” Surely such a being would only care as to what good is in someones heart? Surely they would care little of an ego boost as to what name was called out in prayer.
If there is a “God” in my mind they would only care about the lessons we learn, the growth we make, the good we do and they sure as hell wouldn’t want to see people dying in their name.
The sooner we realize that we are no different from each other just because we know our “god” by another name the sooner this little planet has a chance to live in peace.
Id like to see a time were we no longer need the “church/temple/mosque” a time when religions have no name, a time where we have places of worship that are open to anyone who wishes to connect to a higher source regardless of the name they call their “god”
As strange as it sounds I would live to see the day where spiritual values are lived not just spoken about but where religions in the form they exist today are no longer around. I would like a spiritual world – not a religious one!
I hate Religion – What do YOU think?
The general manger of Sydney radio station 2Day FM, Adam Lang spoke for the station and said:
A Post for an IGNORANT reader of my blog
September 7th, 2009Dear “the lord speaks”
You are IGNORANT and quite frankly fools like you annoy the hell out of me. YOU do not speak for “god”and your opinions are narrow minded.
Re your comment on the beautiful “plus sized” model Lizzie Miller:
“fat or thin there is no reason for women to pose naked this is porn.”
Fool – look up the definition of pornography – this is not porn.
This is a lovely young woman showing the female form with class and sensuality.
Re your comment on the Marzieh Vahid Dastjerdi post
“this is not a place for women, men should be leaders.”
Men like YOU? Thank goodness that the rest of the world has matured beyond such idiotic thoughts – women are just as fit to lead as men.
Re the contraception post and your comment
“you should take down those links. it is a sin for teenagers to have sex it is only for married people.”
It is perfectly ok for any one of legal age in their community to have sex with another legal person – don’t like that fact – fine, but I intend to keep the links up for anyone looking for advice on how to have sex safely.
If this offends you don’t come back.
And as for your idiotic comment that
“only men and women should get wed God said so”
As I replied on the post itself -
your god may well say “no” but then I disagree with a lot of things the bible does approve of like slavery, physical punishment of children etc
But this is not a religious or moral debate – in my mind it is about equality and human rights.
I really don’t like the way YOU think
