Growing up I had the utmost reverence for the name of God, now when I hear it I tend to run the other direction as fast as I can.  I use to believe that christians were people who would help you when you were in need, but now I see that isn’t the truth.  I can’t even count how many times I have been run over, stabbed in the back, and taken advantage of by christians.  I guess they believe that I am suppose to turn the other cheek when they mess me over. 

  It is so sad to know how much of a wedge that religion has driven between people.  It has become more of a pissing contest between different religions who believe they are right and all others are wrong.  It’s sad to know that most of the bloodshed that has happened and still is, is because of religion.  I just can not see what good it does.  No one who claims to be good religious people live what they believe.  They would rather shove it down each others throats. 

  I was thinking about it today, and I was amused at this thought.  Bear with me for a few minutes to explain.  I was thinking of how we all come from the same place, and we all have the same creator.  When we die, I believe we will all return to where we came from.  Now here is where I found it a bit funny.  Compared to how long the earth has been around, we are only here for a short while.  I believe that we all have a purpose for being here, and lessons to learn from our existence on this beautiful planet.  So we spend some time here, and perhaps the rest of eternity where we began.  Why the hell would anyone want to live their whole lives debating about where we come from and which religion is right and who is wrong when in a short time all of those questions are going to be answered any way?  What is the whole point.  It’s like taking a vacation from work just to bring your laptop and everything with you just to do more work while your on holiday.  I feel that the whole debate is a waste of time, and we are throwing away our “vacation time”.  We are fighting when we should be learning. 

  I do believe that there is a creator.  It’s right to help out anyone who needs it.  It’s right to be kind to each other.  It’s right to take care of our world, after all the world is our classroom and we need to keep it in tip top shape for future students.  It’s right to love each other as if we are all one big family, because in a way we are.  It is wrong of us to hate, judge, kill, condemn, persecute, alienate, etc……… because of a difference of opinion where we come from and whose God is the right one and whose is better.  To me the whole idea seems to be ridiculous. 

  I feel that the best way to live is to be good to each other and love each other.  Don’t waste  the life that we have been given on something that in the end is pointless.
