to me religion has become more about the whole believe me or you will burn or your soul will rot and decay for all time. me personally i do think there is a higher power. my proof is the whole big bag theory, scientists has determined that if thats how it happend the universe would have collapsed back in on itself, meaning we wouldent be here talking about religion. now dont get me wrong i do believe theres somthing out there and there should be a place were all good people get rewarded. the only thing i dont like about religion (mainly Christianity) is that everything seem to offend them. examples, i live in north california, they hold alot of anime conventions here, one of the biggest being a con called fanime it happens once a year, and outside were its held there are protesters saying were all going to hell for cosplaying. also harry potter books again lay off its just a book full of stories (hint hint). third and finaly, the way that most not all say being gay is evil. i may not be gay but i have tons of friends who are and especially dont like it when there told that following there hearts is evil. i may not have read the bible in a while but if i recall god make us in gods image and loves us all equally............need i say more. the last thing im going to mention is hell. i personally believe if religion is true that its not real. in the original testament the devil is only mentioned once and only once and there is no mention of hell. if i offended any1 with what i said im sorry but i was speaking from the heart. and isnt that what god tells us to do?
