So much fabrication of things that otherwise might have been true.
You know, I often have scoffed at people who hold Religion dear but it's not really Religion that is the problem, but the innate ignorance that goes with it. So many, are controlled, manipulated to scorn those who don't follow the teachings, having never fully read the bible themselves. Those that go to church, relying on the sermon of the day to teach them what to say or follow. Now there's no need for Religion. There's no need for fabrication. No need for the campfire stories of demons and hell. There's no need for it. There's no need for stories of Adam and Eve, or of Noah and the flood, or of Sodom and Gomorrah. There's no need for tales of Holy lands and promised lands. So much bloodshed has been carried out in the name of stories, that are like Children's bedtime stories (some for older kids). And it's scary how many adults will fight over these stories as if they are "The ultimate truth". What they fail to do is just to look around and within themselves for truth. The truth is there for all to see, so why do they allow themselves to be consumed by ancient fabrications? As if there is some moral fabric that all must adhere to in the pages of one ancient text. Sure, they are interesting stories, but stories nonetheless. It often sounds like the God they are worshipping isn't based in the stars and celestial in nature, but rather that of a tyrant in a palace commanding his subjects to respect his majesty or else. It seems more like bootlicking the blood off a tyrants shoes, than a celestial divine being, full of universal freedom and love.
