Damn Right!
I know the JWs by their fruits!
I know Christianity by its fruits!
I know Islam by its fruits!
I know Hinduism by its fruits!
If I could rid the world of all of them.............I WOULD!
Sorry just another ranting mood. I cannot stand religion, any religion anymore!
IW
IW,
You're right on the mark with this post! Religion is a crutch -- turning to other men, as if to say "what should I believe, what should I do now, what rituals do you want me to do", etc., etc.
If a person wants to be religious, all the more power to them. But remember what Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life" and "come to me". So if you want to be a follower, you don't have to let some religion bend your mind and your will.
And for those who have doubts about the reality of it all, that's perfectly valid too. But not to many religions, who would condemn you for being different from them.
Makes me think of a song ---
Imagine there's no heaven, It's easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us only sky, Imagine all the people living for today... Imagine there's no countries, It isnt hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion too, Imagine all the people living life in peace... You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man, Imagine all the people Sharing all the world... You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, And the world will live as one |

Right On Island Woman! I was discussing this very thing tonight but I thought of Eddie Brickell's lyrics instead of John Lennon:
| I'm not aware of too many things |
| I know what I know if you know what I mean |
| Philosophy, is the talk on a cereal box |
| Religion, is a smile on a dog |
| I'm not aware of too many things |
| i know what I know if you know what I mean |
| Chuck me in the shallow water |
| Before I get too deep |
| What I am is what I am are you what you are or what |
| What I am is what I am are you what you are or what |
| Oh I'm not aware of too many things |
| I know what I know if you know what I mean |
| Philosophy, is a walk on the slippery rocks |
| Religion, is a light in the fog |
| I'm not aware of too many things |
| I know what I know if you know what I mean |
| Do do ya |
| Chuck me in the shallow water |
| Before I get too deep |
| Chuck me in the shallow water |
| Before I get too deep |
| What I am is what I am are you what you are or what |
| What I am is what I am are you what you are or what |
| What I am is what I am are you what you are or what you are |
| What I am is what I am are you what you are or what |
| Da da da da |
| I say I say I say I do hey hey hey hey hey hey |
| Chuck me in the shallow water |
| Before I get too deep |
| Chuck me in the shallow water |
| Before I get too deep |
| Chuck me in the shallow water before I get too deep |
| Chuck me in the shallow water before I get too deep |
| Chuck me in the shallow water before I get too deep |
| Don't let me get too deep |
| Don't let me get too deep |
| Don't let me get too deep |

Religion in poetic terms:
The Void
Endless is the path and winding the road
that leads through the void and many are the
ones finding it
It's neither dark nor light but opaque and it's
ambivalence is exemplified through it's
malice intent
It's temporal displacement is evident, it transcends time and age and exists generation after generation
It is the role of the damned to walk the
course set before their feet
The void is a world were the undead reside
where nothing is real except the void itself
It traps it's unwitting victims who are
unaware and weak minded
It divides us and tells us to have faith in HIM
when what they really want is for us to have faith in them
the void requires total submission which is to believe without question
question them not, as not to anger the beholder of your faith
I believe, not in the void but, only that it exists
It must be exposed if the TRUTH is to survive.
