I feel like more people need to remember that religion had been created during a time when people knew nothing. (rant that really makes no sense cus i was just brain dumping)

People couldn't explain the most natural phenomenon that happened. They’d see disasters happen and blame it on God. They knew nothing of math, biology, physics, etc. Religion, at the time, gave people answers to how the world works, why we are here living on earth right now, and most importantly what happens after. It was a comfort. It gave people a reason to move on, to believe in something, to think that everything would be alright in the end. And in theory, religion is a great coping mechanism. But just like everything, human scum finds a way to ruin it for everyone. It was an excuse to harm others, to leach off of them for their money, to install fear in them. For some people, it still is about comfort and what they like to believe happens in the afterlife, but others, the stupider ones, cling to religion because they don’t trust or believe in science. Their views cloud their mind. Rarely even that to be honest, it’s more of an excuse for the terrible acts they commit. As a young scared kid, it’s terrifying to think how their choices will affect me in the grand scheme of things. After they’re all gone, their beliefs are going to be what I have to live by.

Today religion thrives, and in my personal opinion does more harm than good, especially when you use religion as an excuse to control people. You can believe in whatever religion you want, just don’t push those views down my own throat. I agree that you can believe in your own religion. Everyone has a right to believe in whatever they want. But you cannot let those views affect how you treat other people. Don’t expect me to live by the same rules that you force onto yourself.

The way I see it people turn to God when they’re afraid. Not just afraid of death, but they’re afraid of what they’ve done in the past. They’ve been bad. They think if they repent their sin will be gone and maybe that is true but me personally, I don’t want to believe in a God who forgives the worst people who have ever walked this earth. I don’t want to share a heaven with abusers. I don't want to love the people who choose to call death upon the innocent.

Remember when we were little and we’d cry all night long praying for God to keep our family safe and healthy. Begging that God would forgive us for questioning him. Asking him to answer us like he did our family. How come they could always hear him but I couldn’t?

All my life, God was just an excuse. An excuse for how you act and treated people. God shouldn’t be the reason you treat people with kindness. Treat people like with kindness because they are just as human as you are. An excuse for murder, money, and politics. An excuse to control the world.

If God is so mad at me for not be believing in him. Believing in the cruelty of his followers. Believing in the lies I was told in the church then God is mad at the wrong person.
