Here is my take on religion. I have trouble believing in a god that must be feared or that will punish us for our sins. If we were made in gods image, then he is just as fucked up as the rest of us. If so, then he/she will probably love us anyway.
My opinion of organized religion is that most were created long ago for means of controlling the poor, uneducated masses. It worked well for thousands of years. But if poeple today find direction and meaning from it, more power to them.
I only have a problem with the "Pushers". I have respect for most other people and their beliefs. If someone tells me I am going to hell because I don't repent, read the Bible or go to church, they pretty much automatically lose any respect that I would have given them.
