About Me

After many years of thinking and soul searching, I would like to invite you to join my journey. Please help me find the answers I have not yet found and allow the ones I have to enlighten your life. Many people rebelled against religion, some for ideological reasons and others for emotional reasons. I was raised religious and wanted to run away; I failed. I am deeply connected with a religion and it came through deeper understanding rather than vice versa. I still disagree with many people who share my faith as to the correct motivations for our religion. I am as anti-religion as a religious man can get. I believe religion is the root to all evil.

Is religion just a self entertaining imagination?

If you accept a religion because its answers are to your liking, then what is your motive for following? If the answers are definite, is it a religion? If they are not definite, how is it different from other religions? Once again logically you have a terrible chance of being correct.

Maybe the founders of religion were artist who competed over best movie? Some are better than others.
Doesn’t it reality itch you? If religion is just a movie it should not cost so much?

How many people got killed? Why does it prevent so much enjoyment? Isn’t it expensive?

There are people these days who are trying to create new religions. Should we work with them to create the imagination that will be harmless? Or, is there some real truth out there?

I sometimes think people approach religion the way they approach any problem in life: Entrust a specialist with it, and follow them blindly, because it's the only thing they can do - they have no insight into the matter themselves, must trust the person they elected to fix the problem.
I wonder if people could get as worked up about the question who the best plumber is in a town as they have in the past about which religion to follow. It's all about avoiding having to face up to incompetence.
If religions provided more clauses along the lines of "sure, come and test it - it's real", that problem would be gone.
