Don't take this in any disrepect or offensive. I just have one question. Well, I am a teenager and I could safely say I'm more "aware" (if you don't understand forget this line, lol) of what im doing and what is happening then a lot of the teenagers around me. I have a very logical, rational view of everything in life and I would just like to ask you why so many people believe in some religions (I am Deist btw)? The thing I don't understand most is how can you people be so entirely sure that one thing is true (Ahhemm, Christians) when you, or anyone on the planet for that matter, has no clue of?
I feel as though religion is basically just to make profits by capitalizing off people's fear of the unknown.
I mean it's like if everything else in the universe is rational, then why is the unknown irrational??? This is why I really have a strong dislike for Christians, Not their religion, But they feel as though they must recruit as many people as they can to Christianity (back to my religion is for profits point), basically saying that every other religion is wrong and Christianity is right. You do not know if it is true, they do not know if it is true, so let people believe in whatever they want.
I Dont Know, I feel as though religion is just to make profits, capitalizing on people's fear of the unknown, and give people a reason not to kill themselves from their crappy lives (Example - Christianity) because religion says live life to the fullest and if you don't and kill yourself you'll goto hell.
The world if full of bullshit, full of bullshitters, full of bullshitees. Why would you let yourself get suckered in to this game and firmly believe in it, tell people that it is most definitely the right way to life when you have absolutely no idea.
I know this may flame you up after reading but try to have an open mind on it, if you let yourself be so close minded (ahhemm, Christians) then you'll be dumbed with nothing to say, nothing to do, because you won't let anything in all because the church tells you to. Well guess what, you really think the leaders of the church know the truth, of course not THEIR HUMAN JUST LIKE YOU!!
Well Thank you for reading me rant on and please tell me what you think of me, this article, whatever. I want to start a debate, we may not reach the truth but we'll sure as hell reach a conclusion.
