Religion is wacky

No one ever reads this blog. I also, don't post very often. So um, someone had posted on my boyfriends blog, a comment about religion being "real." I shall post my response just for shits and giggles. I enjoyed it.

Believing in Religion does not appropriate rationality. Religion offers no sense of reason whatsoever. The birth place of Jesus is even confused by Matthew and Luke, and the translation of the word meaning "young woman" was misconstrued for the Greek word for virgin. Yes, there are some who do challenge their Religion, as everyone raised Religious should. Do you believe in what your parents believe? Do your parents believe in what their parents believed? I could go on down the chain, but you get the picture. Many smart and intelligent people do believe in God or Gods. Upon weighing these theories of Religion being truly rational, if done with pure unbiased presumption, you would find that there is more than likely, with very little hesitation that there is no God or Gods. Whether there is a God or not cannot be proven, but that does not make it a 50/50 chance that God does exist. Every Religion steals(or borrows if you will) from a previous one. Christianity shares correlations of the Messiah's birthday being on the day of Christmas, the resurrection, and the prophecies told. The ideas are not new. They were taken from earlier Civilization's beliefs that were around 3000(approx) years before Christ. So, in fact, upon again weighing this information, to find Religion(any religion) rational is simply due a lack of knowledge(not saying Religious people are uneducated in other areas of life or areas one may gain knowledge), and spoon fed "wisdom" their family members had told them while growing up. Also, it shows lack of eduction on the Creationists behalf, to say that Evolutionists believe 1)Something came from Nothing and/or 2)theories that Darwinism promotes such anomalies as the "Crocoduck." I'm not pointing fingers at Anonymous, simply stating there are many scientific wrongs with Religion. Creationism is just, well, silly. Life is a mystery, and the Universe is a mystery. That does not mean there is an all mighty creator who planted everything here. Nothing cannot create something. If God created all of this, who created God? Who created God's creator etc. It's an endless repetition of regression.
The writer of this blog truly does respect the beliefs held by his family and friends. He respects them not to the point every Religion feels it should be respected. Religions tend to hold themselves higher than anything else that deserves respect. The president has for years and years had caricatures of his face drawn to symbolize stupidity, the lack of his abilities as president etc etc. You don't see millions of people running to his defense, and you certainly don't see caricatures of Jesus, God, or Mohammed taken so lightly, if you have ever seen them anywhere besides an Atheist(or something similar) magazine or ad. Our country was not founded on Religion. The forefathers would not have dreamed of this. Yet, we hear it in the words of our president. George Bush Sr. himself said that Atheists do not belong in this country and that they are NOT citizens. Imagine if "Atheist" were removed and another minority group installed. Blacks, Jews, Homosexuals. Also, Religion is placed in courts of law, and court cases have been won by ridiculous measures because the argument was "It insults my Religion!" or "It's my right as a Religious person to believe this." So yes, Religion places itself on a pedestal above most anything else in this world. My point being, the writer respects Religion to the point that he is not apologetic to Religion. As far as challenging your beliefs, I greatly advise you do so, Anonymous. Throw out what you've been told and open your mind to a world and a life where you are not damned for silly sins no one sees. We all have free will because of evolution. Also, the blog writer is not forcing his "religion" onto you. That is contradictory. Okay, thanks for reading this if you do :-)
