Wow this thread blew up :O,thanks guys and Funky I can't see how every religion doesn't piss you off then.It might be that because you got to actually see this one form.You see how ridiculous it is.I wish you would care about what other people look at for self-actualization.I happen to be pained by the fact that their are so many people that blindly follow religious leaders and waste time and money which can be put to better their well being or overall community more so.Religions in fact separate communities.That town in Florida for instance.A whole catholic only colony,that's segregation if they don't realize it.But from what?The world.The actuality of things.They only get news from the religious standing,they learn that way in their schools as well.They work and live within the town,completely oblivious to the outside world.That hurts me deeply.Some young kid,ingenious artist could be shun for his art being beside what he is taught to believe.Poets inspiration restricted to the fiction of what their religious Father approves of as permitted thought by God.


I not trying to hurt anyone's feeling here.I'm trying to tell you all it's alright to (censored)ing think for yourself.I mean REALLY think for yourself.I wake up in the morning not saying "What can I do in the light of god today?" but "What can I do for those I give a (censored) about?".Is it blasphemous to me not to have god in thought?NO!Half the time I don't even acknowledge the idea of there being a God!And I happen to get a lot more out of life not worrying about :/ We could all be wrong I mean ALL of us.Everything person on this planet could be the farthest from the truth.But hell :/ whatever.When we find out,we'll know.And that may never happen.It really isn't that big a deal.



and Amaterasu:


Would you be just as good as an individual if you were bereft of faith?

I can't stress that enough,but it also poses the question: Why do religions impose from step one that you are Ignorant,powerless and evil?

How does powerless and evil even coincide?Insult make me lose faith in myself?


For the record, the world would be an awesome place if people actually _followed_ the doctrine of their religions rather than saying like Captain Balbosa,

"Tis more of a guideline." I hate hypocrites SO much.

I've never seen a Pirate be quoted so efficiently :O

That's what I have to hardest time understanding....Why follow the faith if you don't want to do shit of it?
