god was just created because people are afraid of dying. god promises you never die. people took it too far and follow it too devoutly because theyre so afraid theyd do anything and believe anything for an afterlife. then they go blah blah blah and take the madeup bible too literally and focus on the stuff that doesnt make any sense like gay marriage. religion would be a good concept if it was just some of thr 10 commandments, dont kill, dont steal, etc etc. what shits me is that people shouldnt kill or steal etc because its WRONG morally and ethically.... not just because god says its wrong. people follow blindly and will die one day and be sadly disappointed. slash dead.
exactly. humans were not made by god, god was made by humans. god is a stupid ideal that makes no sense, but gives the people a reason to believe, a reason not to be so afraid of the fact that death will eventually take them, and a reason to have hope that better things are to come.
and i liked that last line. people follow blindly and will die one day and be sadly disappointed. slash dead.
And why is it that the “original sin” is sex, when sex is what brings us into existence?
My understanding of 'original sin' is that it refers to Adam's direct disobedience to God when he ate fruit from the forbidden tree. Just something I felt needed clarification...
shhh, i changed that bit.. i was really really distracted when i was writing this lol. lol fine i'm just dumb. gr. i knew it was the whole forbidden fruit thing but my mind was all "original sin = sex". yeah well, its fixed. but hey, do you have anything to say about the rest of it kiddo? i like hearing other peoples opinions.
i 100% agree with you. i've had more than enough experience with hypocrites who call themselves christians. they quote the bible, and think they're better than everyone else, yet they go back on what they say and "sin", and then they say because theyre christians and better than everyone else, that theyre forgiven. there are so many reasons why i don't believe in religion. it was just created for power. the US government used religion in the 50's to make everyone obey and be patriotic to the country, and even back in the middle ages people were told if they obeyed or if they didn't kill themselves because of their miserable life, they would go to heaven. thats why they built those huge churches in europe, to convince them heaven exists. but i don't believe in any of that, i just believe in having your own morals and going by those, not by a stupid manmade book and a bunch of made up stories and stupid rules that dont make sense.
thankyou! i totally love you. having your own morals and ethics and all that junk is what counts. i don't not go and kill people just because the bible says "oh, hey guess what, if you kill someone you won't go to heaven" i don't kill people because well, its just a stupid (and wrong, but more stupid) thing to do lol. and i'm glad theres people other than me and the select few i know, who actually have reasons for not believing in all this stuff, people who don't just go "oh i don't believe in god" because its uncool to be religious or something. and people who don't just believe in it all because thats what they've been told. i like that you have your own opinion and reasons for it. hence you are fucking awesome ♥
thanks, your fucking awesome too lol. not very many other people agree with me either, just my family and my boyfriend. my dad is one of those christians tho and he causes all these problems for me because of it, esp when it has to do with my stepmom, he quotes the bible and preaches to me and twists everything around to make me feel guilty for not liking her. its a big mess. i even went to church for a year before my parents separated. it was nice, esp cuz it was more like an old fashioned service and none of those fancy kinds with the giant screen tv and huge band (ive been to a couple of those, theyre ridiculous), and no one ever forced me to believe or not believe in anything, i just made up my own conclusions. and even tho it would be nice to believe there is a god, sometimes its better to accept reality and trust urself and ur own judgment. having morals and ethics def counts. i could go on and on about this haha
i know me too! when i was writing this out in a book, it was five pages long, and i was like "uhm maybe i should stop writing so much..." lol but i couldn't stop myself. turns out five pages of my hand writing is two pages typed up so it seems slightly shorter lol. but i could have gone on about this for hours and hours and hours. ♥

"My theory is it was created by old losers who came up with this as a stupid idea for a novel"
