This one seems to sum up what religious ideologies have given the world.
I have very deeply looked into the endless destruction and genocide that religious ideologies and dogma have inflicted upon human beings. I have seen how damaged human souls are, how deeply depressive, meaningless, and prone to exploitation are the lives that many live. Religious dogma is at the root of this epidemic meaninglessness. Behind that is the thirst and cry for love. ----Mark Seelig "The Divine Spark"
I love life so much that I don't care what religions say. And since nobody can prove that they communicate with God we dont know what is after death. If there is life its excellent. If there isn't I am still happy. I am so grateful that I was born on this beautiful planet with many great people that surround me. I appreciate if I will live my hopefully 100 years. The idea that I might have never been born is my motivation and inspiration. I will use my years to the full. And if there is life after, and if God will find me good enough I will be extremely happy. But if it doesn't exist I am still happy to be here. 😃
Religion doesn't do anything to people. People wanting shortcuts in life and try to make problems magically disappear is what gets them into believing whatever magical crap they are told.
It's about time people start taking responsibilities for what they decide to think, believe, and consequently act upon.
Alex Bogdanov, I'm going to borrow the beginning of your post. I love life so much that I don't care about anything regarding god, religion, the bible and any other related nonsense. Life's just too short to waste it in nonsense.
Christ advocated unconditional love. Suffice to say, 90% of the world does not practice it.
I have twisted the meaning of 1 Cornthian 1:22 The Jew 9relgious people) require a sign... yeah the supernatural... the Greek (thinking people) seek wisdom. Yeah you keep doing that and anything not proven that seems beyond the natural world IS part of the natural world you just don't understand it yet wait a few decades.
Scratchme1010 😂 thats ok. No problem. I fully agree with you on shortcuts. That is one of the ways religions control people. Like JWs. The GB says "Go for a walk for 2 hours a day. Have a chat with people, drink tea and Jehovah will bless you" Basically do nothing and you will support Gods plan. Thats insane. But its easier to pass over responsibility on GB and when JWs will realise its all a scam they wont blame themselves they will peacefully say that its not their fault and they were betrayed by GB. And most likely they will find another "God's faithful slave" who will look after them 😂
