I don't believe in your/any God. If you don't like this, don't read the following text. I guess one of the reasons I am an athesist, if because I never went to church. This is most likily because I grew up in El Paso, where it was OK to not have a religion. My parents never were into the big church thing, and they never were into pushing religion on me. At school religion was never discussed, so it didn't matter to me. I understood that some people believe in God, and some don't. Either way, its OK. Then I moved to Lubbock. Hmm. Religion is a major part of life for everyone here, and I was forced to pick a 'side'. I choose athesist, because of what I could logically think about. I don't want to explain every single thing that I have thought about...so I am just going to list thoughts in a nice little uniform manner. These are strictly my beliefs. 1. Religion is for the weak minded that can't think for themselves. They take whatever is 'force fed' to them, and like it. Most religious individuals are that way because that is the way they were brought up, and they don't question it. 2. Everything that most religous individuals go back to, is 'The Bible Says' Don't believe everything you read. I believe that the bible was a book written for strickly folk-lore purposes, and was not meant to run the world. Someone back in the day of old wrote a book that was going to be all of the things that good represents. This book would be written by 'God' or whatever so that it was believed, and helped strighten out morals. 3. I believe that religion gives people something to believe in. Something there for when there dead, so they don't have to live with the fact that it is over when you die. People don't want to believe that there life is in vain, and that they will be reduced to dirt when they die. 4. I also think people believe in God because they don't understand certain things around them. Look back at the aztecs. They had a God for everything that they didn't understand. I think that science has got rid of the major mysteries, and so the Gods were 'destroyed', and reduced to one greater god. This god is respondsible for everything that our feeble minds can't comprend. As science progresses, more and more people will become athesists, until no one believes in god, and they look at this time like we look at the aztecs. 5. Alot of people think that evolution never happened. Who is to say that God(If you believe in one), didn't plan evolution. Maybe that was part of his plan. 6. I think another reason people believe in God/Gods is because it makes them fit in, maybe even become more popular. I dunno, but I do know that believing something to be cool is dumb. I have alot of friends and and relitives tha believe in God, and I don't think any less of them for it. Everyone has a mind, and they sould be able to use it. If a person wanted to believe in Santa Claus, then so be it. What I am getting at is that a large portion of the religious community thinks less of the athesist community, and even the other religions. Thats not right. People should be able to believe as they want, and do what they want, without being riticuled for it. Another thing that pisses me off is that at school here there is not a sepration between religion and school. For instance, one of my sciences teachers spent 1 day on 3 chapters of a book, because it delt with evolution. He therefore affected others point of view, etc. --- Acid Warlock Sysop of Purple Hell PS : I wasn't around for the first file, so I am going to do greeting things here because I hope to be writing for F.U.C.K. for a long time.
