Damn religions have caused more death and destruction over the centuries. Why can’t people just practice their faiths in the seclusion of their own homes and not have the need to force it on others.

We’re no better than cavemen when it comes to this crap.

It’s not the religion for the most part. It’s those people that interpret the scripture to their own view of the world and who should run it.

I have no time for those that tell me I’m worshipping incorrectly and naming our kids incorrectly. Fck them.

The non-religious communists of the last century killed millions as well.

My conclusion from reading enough history books is humans are just trash in general. Anything becomes acceptable long as the ends justifies the means.

Its just another form of tribalism. My tribe is better than yours. My dead dude in the clouds is more powerful than your dead dude in the clouds.

As much as I hate the Beatles Let it be is an astute song, Mother Mary mentions aside.
