My View on Religion in General
12/09/2004
I suppose my opinion can be summed up this way:
People who take responsibility for their own actions and show compassion are the true saints. Nobody is perfect, and 'God' does not favor one over another.
Religions are designed to alleviate the effects of negative thinking without dealing directly with the mind. It's like taking a pill to get rid of a headache, then banging your head against a rock over and over and wondering why your head still hurts.
Religionserves its purpose for those that are truly suffering. Alanon for the soul, if you will. A half-way house, a resting spot, a learning place, but ultimately it's only one footstep in the journey of life and can never be the end of the journey.
