quote: the good wrote:
In the past, religion represented an attempt to explain a world that was very confusing and frightening to ignorant people. So it did serve a function as an attmpt to explain the world when other methods were lacking. But other, and better methods are available now.
Sure, nowadays we stupid dude´s and groupies have YOU to explain us the world!!!
Although I do not believe, that you´re interested in other opinions, I wanna say one thing:
I´m absolutly with pdog - religion is not the same as belief in (he,she,it) God or what ever you will call it...
You can believe without go to church...
you can pray and pass up all what the priests preaching...
I´m sorry for your bad experiences as a child, but perhaps today you act not much better than those who had done this to you in the past. |
