Ok, first off I have no problem with religion and I don't mean to insult anyone who is religious. I personally am a Hindu.
One thing that annoys me is how the Christian religion is so self-righteous. It's just the whole monotheistic do this, do that, mentality. People love to be told what to do because it offers them a loophole through responsibility for ones actions. However, a moral Christian is a beautiful thing in my mind and I am very happy for one that finds happiness that way.
So I want to ask you a few questions about the Christian God. Who does he or she prefer in your mind? OJ Simpson a person who has lived his whole life in squander, but believes in god, or a person who is not sure about religion. A person who instead bases his life on what his human spirit dictates as right versus wrong. A person who puts morality on a pedestal above all else. A person who always does the right thing and wants to help other people? A person who is an intellectual who reads philosophy and is always curious and questioning what he has learned.
I personally prefer the objective human being. I think that the monotheism can in many ways can deter objectivity and make right and wrong obscure. Believing is one thing, but I don't think that it is a cure all. Look at all of the deaths and pains monotheistic Islam has created. I believe that comes from the monotheistic lack of objectivity.
Again this is just my opinion. I think that religion can bring a lot of happiness and completeness to one's life. I just think that one has to cherish their objectivity.
