Religion is friggin’ crazy, isn’t it?
I mean, for you to believe, often times, in something that you cannot feel or touch or ever see, at least while you are living.

And, what happens if you’re wrong?
I mean, there are tons of different religious philosophies out there–one of them has to be completely and utterly wrong if everyone else’s is right, correct?

That’s the paradox in religion itself–if you believe in your god only, then you have to acknoledge, for example, that people that believe in witchcraft are going to hell because they “obviously” believe in satan because, since they do not worship god, they are worshipping a false idol.

So, I personally think we’re all screwed on this one.. But my thoughts on religion itself are pretty simple:

Sure, it might not be true for everyone, but for that person it is and that’s all that should really matter; the individual person’s concept of life and death, because, ultimately, that is all the religion is–just a way of dealing with life as it comes at you and the prospect of death and the hereafter.

Also, just as a little memo: I do not capitalize the word “god” on purpose. Since I do not believe in a god figure with the name “God” as Christians do, I do not capitalize it and only use it as a word, not a name for some unseen being that I do not necessary think exists.
