Religion

[Crest]

I've read some very interesting and some straight up stupid responses to this so I'll just throw my thoughts on this in here aswell.

I think religion is something that may have started as a very pure and innocent attempt at people trying to live by a code that made them better humans (no killing, no stealing, etc.) but lately religion has turned into a mass brainwashing cult. I say religion in general because if I mention a single religion, people with persecution complexes will start freaking out.

Religion is now used as a way to profiteer off of people who seek comfort in a group environment, I'm mainly talking about bigger establishments here. Huge churches/mosques/temples are focued on nothing but profit and religion is a great way to make some profit, I'm not saying every religious establishment is like this, there are still lots of small establishments that focus on nothing other than teaching humans to be better humans.

I think the basic messages and teachings of religion are very good for us but the way it is used now, as a way to just extort money out of people, is disgusting.

Although I slightly disagree with the whole "profiteer" context to a certain extent, what you've said summarizes my view on religion.

I don't think any religion is real.

2000 years ago people were very stupid and didn't have any scientist or what so ever.
So their obvious only explanation is that some one or something made them.

Christianity is just this explained above with a cute story added to it.
The Muslim faith is just Christianity with extreme violence and a lot of bullshit added to it.

How people with a religion think:

Spoiler!

Just adding something about the Torah:
Torah it's only 1/3 of our real book (Tanah).

Tanah (תנ"ך / Tnh) T = Torah, N = Neviyim, H (k) = ktovim.

So basically it's almost nothing to read / know.

I meant, there are a lot more about us, about the jew, ofc Torah is one of our special "books", I'm just saying.

there are elementary particles in vacuum space. elementary particles collided and created a fractal of existence. of consistent trial, error and adaption. time doesn't exist, neither does your interpretation of motion. the colors you see are just wave lengths. your voice is just vibrations in oxygen. we aren't a perfect design, hundreds of thousands of defective babies are born every year. we only have 1 mouth, you honestly know how many people choke and die each year? we're just atoms trying to understand ourselves. look at a tree, you see how it sprouts and replicates itself? thats life, no god did that. life doesn't need a god, it can perpetuate itself without a god or a religion.
