Message: <blockquote data-quote="DigitalSword" data-source="post: 138939" data-attributes="member: 7892">....Religion is just a copout, another excuse used by weak individuals who cant admit to there own fate, we are stuck on this rock to live the most lucid unimaginibly ugly lives and beautifull deaths, to expierience life as exactly as we make it, religion will not change this, it is the core of human nature.Religion is also at the core of human nature, not religion itself but what it stands for, not an excuse for the way we live, but a measure for dealing with the shitty cards we are dealt.what is more plauseable here:A) Some dude speaks to an almighty voice in the heavens who tells him about commandments and gives him unimaginable powers. orB) The Dire world of the very distant past was so vile that people came to wits end and created a story passed through generations which formed into a book which was a sole source of hope and spirit in a place which many would call hell. Religions Form around this center idealogoy of god, gods and Heaven and Hell, that those who lived to make life better at any cost would recieve the most precious gift, a wonderful life after death and those who did not were meant to burn in the depths.  Ofcourse, who, when, what, and how to make the world better would be decided by those who were at power, and the only ones to defy such things would be those who disagreed with where things were going. War, Famine, Plague ran rampant, (and still does) but back then it was to a degree which most people cannot imagine.I see the Bible and Religion as a Psychiatric tool, a way for people to deal with the shitty parts of life, and it is very much so. People now(and even then) however, have used it politically, and militarily, to there own advantage.  This too is human nature.Religion has been presented as this in my life:If you sin, you go to hellYet you can be forgiven by god if it is your desire to do his will and go to heavenis this not the biggest load of crap ever? Its like hey, if you steal this im gonan cut off your hand, but if you go steal that for me, ill let ya go. It is a great amount of wihsful thinking at the very least, A wonderful tool at the very least, something used to bring people together and unite under one flag, just another cause. and I understand it, the thought that people would rather think they are going to heaven rather than comign to the realization that once you die, you die, thats it, some poeple jst cant handle the thought, it is almost unbearable to comprehend that youve got one chance here in this world, and we will die like every other person, plant, animal and organism that we see die everyday.Sure, Heaven sounds great, but I have much more faith in myself and what I do and what I will do then in this ancient unproven faith.Religion would be great to raise your kids on but I wouldnt, id feel like im lying ot them.  Id want them knowing what the world really is, and what will happen in the end. The fact is, we are what we are, we are where we are, and we will die. Everyone knows this, it is the undeniable truth, the quiet thing that no one talks about but is immediately and automatically there in your mind.Some people join the military, some people blow up themselves, other poeple do what they do.I play CZ with you folks.=P|DS|</blockquote>
