ok stop the argueing u too, lol. ok I know none of u know me but this is an interesting topic for me. I was born half jewish/half christian but truly I am agnostic(sp?). Its simply because I have never been to church or temple but maybe 8 times in my life. But it is in my opinion that all rleigion is a (plz dont get angry at me) waste of time. People need something to believe, people dont want to believe that what happens, happens, and that they cant do anything about it. So they take up a belief in someone that cna change something, a higher being. Now, I'm not gonna say whether I believe in god or not, or my beliefs on the bible, or anything, I am gonna generalize religion. Now some people overemphasize on this higherbeeing. For many, having a beliefe in god is great. It helps them get up and go, it gives them strength, its helps them move on. But (IMO) religion has done way more harm then anything else. skinheads, neo-nazies, WW2, the crusades, all related to religious prejudice. and lets think aobut this for a second. One random day, a savior was born, and he could turn water into wine and when he was dead, later his grave was found without him inside. He wrote a book, a simple interpretation of his beliefs. Now how can we take something so vague, something so simple, and turn it into the number one thing in the world. We need somethign to believe in thats why. If it weren't for religion we would have a lot more suicides. But if it weren't for religion we would have a lot less hate in the world. Personally, I would rather omit relgion. I would like to stop believing in god and start believing in myself, but that is hard, nearly impossible. I even find myself praying to god for a kiss fomr a girl or a good grade on a test. Me, I am not religious, I think it is all too phony but even I do osmetimes. But not just that but the people who take religion to the extreme, like people who spend everyday worshipping a god who has done nothing in return to you. "Oh, my father fell down the stairs and should have borken his neck but he didnt, thank you jesus," no sorry, thats physics. "I passed my test, thank you god," you just got lucky, sorry. You are wasitng you life, stop believing in this "fiction" and start believing in you, see where that takes you. That is just my opinion and sorry for the spelling. Sorry if I offended anyone
