Religion

I'm not a big religious person but I do believe that there must be some kind of higher power. I don't think that this world, or the universe for that matter, was brought to life by the "big bang". But I'll save that for another time. This is about religion and how people perceive it. Not to mention, abuse it.

Throughout history many many wars have been started and fought because of someone's religious beliefs. Man seems to think that God wants us to kill each other in his name. Really?! I think this concept is a bit distorted. Well, a lot distorted.

How can so many people say they love mankind and then turn around and slap someone in the face? How can someone go to church one day and then the next day treat someone like crap?

I am peeved by these hypocrites.

I know a few people who go to church on a regular basis and claim they are "doing God's work". But from what I have seen from these people it makes me wonder if God is really that mean.
Outside of the church they are completely different.

I know this guy who is a pathological liar, but yet he goes to church every Sunday. And there are a couple of women I know that are just downright hateful, but yet they claim they are christian and believe strongly in God's words.

Unfortunately, this is how it is all over the world. Organized religions are nothing but a hiding place for those who do wrong but won't admit it. Organized religions has caused more murders, suicides, terroristic acts, threats, hate, war....you name it.
Is this really what God wanted?
Sadly though, we need these organizations. Why? If we didn't have them this world would be more chaotic than what it already is. It's terrible that so many people have to believe in God more than they believe in themselves. I'm not saying that believing in God is a bad thing. I'm just saying wouldn't God want you to believe in yourself and have faith in the things you do and say?

Anyway, in closing, if you want to know how you can tell that someone is true to their faith..look in their eyes. Sometimes it's kind of scary.
