Untitled (Musings about Religion)
This journal entry follows my travels with a one, Mr. X. I, you say? What shall I be known as? Simply Master of Deception, or Ma. Dec. for short. Now I had spent much of my sunny day at the fields of mud, followed by an excursion to the lined concrete, to my surprise. I had met this Mr. X years ago, however, our paths had only crossed recently at a congregation of vyse. His opinions were hostile, and I found myself…
Reasons why religion is HORRIBLE:
1.) Christianity has killed thousands, possibly millions of people simply due to the fact that many did not want to believe.
2.) Islamic religions still force women to shield their bodies from head to toe and cannot be exposed to the public, let alone live a life they want.
3.) Religion is simply a anti-catalyst to society. Throughout history, religion has persecuted those with novel and progressive ideas. (ie. The world is NOT the center of the universe, and the world is NOT flat either.)
4.) Religion lets its evil hand slip into the rulebooks. Much of what the United States is based on comes from a majority, if not complete population of Christian men with the pen during the scribing of the Constitution. For example, in today’s world, the nude human body brings people to such anger as to sue the Federal Communications Center (and the thought of an FCC is also simply Christian bullshit, but we’ll get to that later.) Since homosexual relationships are supposedly shunned upon in the scriptures, a group of people still find it necessary to persecute those without those beliefs and propose amendments to hold them back.
5.) Almost all the wars in the history of the world have links to religion. Every single tribe and group had the thought that their religion and their way of looking at the world was superior. This would make these people kill other human beings due to blind faith.
6.) Blind faith, eh? Religion is too much of a pillow, so billions of people use it to fall back on in life. This leads them to NOT question what they are participating in, and simply let Jesus lead your way!! Therefore, believers have only beliefs, and not ideas. Beliefs lead to blind faith, which therefore leads to more bloodshed.
7.) Lets talk a little about the history of Christianity for a while. There have been multiple areas in the world that have been completely leveled culturally and population count. First, Christianity went to the Middle East to “spread the love of god,” and therefore take down all Islamic religions and establish Christianity for all to believe in, or God will send you to hell. Christianity then went to Africa, where, once again, since the good people of Christ felt the African natives were not civilized enough and needed a lesson from God. Its hand then crossed the ocean and destroyed almost all signs of life in North America. 10 Million Native Americans were dwindled to a few thousand. They were wiped out by the white mans virus. How fitting.
8.) Religion has lead to almost all animosity between mankind. Religion has lead to racism, misogyny, pain, suffering, death, but most of all FEAR!!! Almost all religions base their belief system around fear. It is the only way to keep a large group of people supportive and dumb. Because why sin when you will go to hell? Since all those that have actually gone to hell have truly described it as a shitty place, of course.
