The reason religion exists is the fear of our own existince and
death.Cursed/blessed with consciousness man is unable to comprehend the true
meaning of his own existince or death so since the dawn of human consciousness
man has been filling in the gap
s using religion.As a catholic and going to a catholic school for many
years i didnt understand even from a very early age why the teachers would
bamboozle us with a mishmash of wierd analogies and metaphors about some guy
called jesus, i found it all r
ather strange even back then,the teachers always went on about tolerance
love and understanding this i found was particularly strange as most religious
people i had ever met never really practiced what they preached,most were
downright miserable uptight
characters that were hypercritical of other people's
behaviour.Recently at my mothers funeral i was talking to a local priest that
had just done the service,i said that religion is shit and that humans are ruled
by thier root primordial animal instict
s.I posed a hypothetical question that if elephants suddenly developed the
power of conscious thought tommorrow without the influence of religion does that
mean they would all be having drunken anal sex with thier brothers and killing
each other just fo
r a bit of fun!lets just say he was rather stumped,looking at his raised
eyebrow as he munched a buttered scone i told him that the film "Bill &
Ted's exellent adventure" had a far more inspiring message to give to most
people than any shitty bible,lets
say he thought i must have been retarded as i spoke the words "Be
exellent to one other".Religion is a man made sickness,follow your heart not
some bullshit book.Religion is about power and subjugation fuck it all to
hell...oh! wait hell isnt real and
only exists as a christian guilt device.
