religeon is a word, that is all.
the people who say what the specific religion entails are just that, people

religions are a vast array of the same basic principles and the text laid out is basically guidelines and standards set by those people in order to keep them on the right track. the catholic church still adds things to their rule book and changes parts at will.

it shouldnt matter what religion anybody is as long as they are peaceful and respectful of others.

as for myself, i dont believe in gods in the way the religions portray them. im more of a science believer.

my belief is that we are a bunch of atoms and even after death we still will be, just not in the same configuration. as for the human consciousness who knows but in a few years im sure we will all find out.

there is no need to spend a whole lifetime doing what we are told when we know ourselves what is right and wrong in our own minds. if its the only life we get, enjoy it responsibly

all religion boils down to this, be good, peaceful and respect others.
its just a shame people use these religions as an excuse to start their holy wars and commit crimes against humanity. im not singling out any religion in this respect, most if not all are guilty of this throughout history.

IMO the world would be a better place without religion but then again thats just my opinion
