Religion realy is just an excuse to get people to act a certain way
with a differwent culture comes a different religion
some stricter cultures plan marriages,
other believe you hould find a significant other on your own
the only good thing about religion is that it gives us morals to live by
for example the ten commandments
thou shal not kill
that's a good one
but the whole aspect of praising a certain being
or spirit i think is rediculous
there is no spirit listening to your prayers
jesus doesn't care if you believe in him
that was all just created
so that the church would have more power
and be able to manipulate the people
for some religions anyways
i believe that there are certain things worth believing in
like life after death
wether it we in some other state or in earth again
because without that this life that we lead
would be pointless and worthless

i hope there is ice on all the roads
and you can think of me when youforgeth your seatbelt
and again when your head goes through the windsheild"

Religion is a way of controlling the masses. It only sets guidelines to follow to keep people doing the right thing. Do Good go to heaven, do bad go to hell.
but not once does god or jesus say themselves that if your good you go to heaven and if you are bad you go to hell
I don't believe in religious figures.

Faith based on anything other than something that you believe to be true, bu t cannot see is not faith. Faith is blind.
I hold partially onto my religion and do not think of it as manipulative. Because you get to choose your religion. Free will is the test.
(These are my beliefs you do not have to agree nor support them)

Hold me and tell me, "We'll burn like stars. We'll burn as we fall. Watch as the city lights DANCE FOR US!"

Humans are just so sheep-like, we can't possibly survive without some higher entity to guide our every step.
personally, if there is a god, i bet satan's got him locked in his basement, and that's why the world's so screwed.

I don't believe in religions of such.
How do we know that the bible wasn't written by a bias person who only thought about him/her self, and made everyone follow after their lead?
As for religious figures, I don't know? They could've just been smoking something good back then that made them hallucinate and such.
NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE.

But this is sooooo vague.
Not saying that I'm a Christian, but is that really what you think it's all about?
All that speaks are those tender words
All that falls are your trembling lips
All that breathes is the lucid sky
And all that feels, all that aches, all that cries
Is your heart with mine,
Entwined;
We are..
Entwined.
Always and forever.

I dislike all organised religion, except for Buddhism, but one could argue whether it is a religion or not.

Buddhism is as much as a religion as Christianity, Catholics, Mormons, you name it. If it has a god, its a religion... unless your doing black magic.

Buddhism is more a spiritual philosophy/belief than a religion, as it DOESN'T have a god. Buddha = enlightened one, not god.
