Religion to me is a crock...
So many people take their preachers interperations of "God" as the end all answer. And now a-day's there is so much comercialization around Jesus and Christianity I just can't take it. (same might be true for other religions, but i haven't seen it around where i live...)
It even says in the bible (or so im told, i haven't read it... i feel i should but certin people turn me off from it by preaching to me when i dont want to be preached at) that you shall not idolize images of jesus, or the cross, and stuff like that. Yet people still do! isn't it supposed to be a sin to do that?
along with that, missionaries bug me too. i feel that they are not RESPECTING other cultures and their religions. I know this glorious county we live in was founded basically by missionaries, but when you go to other countries and end up dead for spreading your religion to people that dont want you there, you dont have my sympathy, im just sorry. That also goes along with the people in my town, and school, that when they start talking about their religion, end up sounding like zombies, just reciting the same ole, same ole crap. it doesnt help me want to learn about religion.
