Aye Aye ! Or is it Ayy Ayy
Not saying there is or isn't a God, I don't know. I just think organized religion may be good for some, but the people that are at the top are as corrupt as any other organization. People get to the top of very large organization usually by being sneaky, greedy, petty and vicious, but have a way of making it sound like they're doing you a favor.
Trying to apply things that were written (by men - clearly men) 2,000 years ago to life today is absolute insanity.
Religion is a way to keep people in check, and that works for a lot of people, but it also is used to be cruel, vindictive and it's used to cover up crimes, often against it's very followers.
I think Organized Religion holds humanity back. If you read about countries where religion isn't very influential, they tend to be more advanced, more tolerant, generally happier with lower crime and lower violence. I think the lack of ORGANIZED religion has a lot to do with that, because a lot of people in these countries do believe in God, they just aren't using that belief like a weapon.
