Religion... That word has so much power. So much power that it can dominate people all around the world. Turn them into slaves. Fanatics. Crazy.
Personally, I have never believed in God. I have read the Bible and I have been to a ceremony in several churches, but it has not changed me in any way.
There was a point when my mother would let people into our apartment to talk about Jesus Christ, God and other religion related stories, but I never really paid attention to them, no matter how hard she tried to drag me in.
There was a time when I started to believe in miracles, I was 13. I wanted to believe that it was some kind of "Thank you" from the stars above for being a good person, but I gave up my belief in any kind of miracles when I was 19 - that was the time when my mother died. I used to have a cross on my chest, but I took it off and threw it into a garbage bin. I was disappointed.
This is when I started to believe that there's nothing out there, besides yourself and belief in who you are. Miracles can happen, but I mostly call it luck or destiny, but it has nothing to do with God. Karma might play a huge part in our lives as well. It's what you truly believe in.
I have never really thought that some people might be obsessed with religion as it has never crossed my mind. Then I started meeting all these people, who were brainwashed by religious people and tried to brainwash other people as well to get them into their fan club. I used to be a fan of bands and I find it sickening now, because, after all, it has to be all about the music, not to make other people listen or like the bands that you like. It should be the same with religion, but some people are lost cases.
What makes it worse, is that quite a few of religious people pretend to be good Christians when the truth is that they are full of shit. You don't have to pretend to be a good person to be a religious person. I used to work on a cruise boat and there was this old lady who just couldn't leave me alone with her religion crap. She tried to drag me into her fan club. But I told her my honest opinion that there's no such thing as God for me. She would get upset and not talk to me for days. This is a truly religious person? A true religious person would not care. They have to forgive and forget, right?
As a conclusion I would like to point out that there might be something or someone out there. I don't believe in a Bible because there is no evidence about who, when and how it was written. I don't believe in Jesus Christ or God because I have never seen them. I have all the respect for religious people for as long as they don't pretend to be good people and won't try to drag me in into their fan club. Belief is one thing, being a fan is something else.
Bless you all.
