It has devolved from an attempt to explain the universe around us, share our mythology about our origins and give us a place to rest our fears, hopes and prayers...into mullahs getting rich from liquor sales and priests raping boys.<BR/><BR/>I strongly believe that following any organized religion gives the leaders of that religion undeserved powers over the followers, which are often abused to control individuals, congregations or take entire nations to war.<BR/><BR/>The only true religion is the religion of the heart. Take ideas from each religion, or from no religion as is the case with Buddhism (a philosophy), and integrate them into your own personal view of God. Find strength in giving thanks and in prayer. For each request you make from God, give ten times as many thanks first.<BR/><BR/>I do not believe that the benefits of going to a church or mosque outweigh the evils of endowing religious leaders power over you by your attendance there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029569143393348400.post-63852012390325264062007-12-31T04:16:00.000+03:302007-12-31T04:16:00.000+03:30Unity that's right,but what should be done by lack...Unity that's right,but what should be done by lack of tolerance, understanding and respect?<BR/>I suppose that we need to let ourselves to hear all beliefs then others will do it certainly.Fazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08130094077389605352noreply@blogger.com
