Thread Name: BS: Religion=good folk doing bad things?
Subject: RE: BS: Religion=good folk doing bad things?
I am free of many things, Shambles...

Organized religion, a 9-5 job, political party affiliation, marriage...

Organized religion has so far done absolutely nothing to force me to be like them, unless you count a scant few visits from Jehovah's Witnesses, one from the Mormons, and the odd conversation with some ardent Christian who wanted to "ssve" me.

Why should I feel threatened by any of those things? Am I so fragile that I cannot tolerate living in a world where some people belong to religions and think they can save me? So what? Let them think what they want.

If I was in Saudi Arabia, THEN I would be worried about organized religion, my friend. In Canada it does not worry me in the least.

Where are you living that it would worry you so much?

What if God turned out not to have any stake whatsoever in backing or promoting organized religions! Wouldn't that be amusing?
