Religion
I am not writing this to offend anybody, just to state my opinion. I find religion as more of a way for people to figure things out. Like scientists say that the universe began with the "Big Bang", Christians try to explain it through the Bible. They spend their entire lives hooked on this one God that they cannot even prove exists. And I'm not trying to down any religion or make fun of anything, I'm just trying to say what I feel. So I was at church with my mom because she makes me and I was reading this thing in the Bible. The Ten Commandments. And if you pay close enough attention to almost ever religion, you'll notice that they all have "the Ten Commandments." or some other form of the ten rules which are all the same. They also have some form of God or holy creator.
One thing that makes me mad about religion (Christianity in particular) is that there is so much crime and bad things that happen in this world that there's no reason for. Supposedly, "Adam and Eve" ate the fruit off the holy tree so now the whole human race is punished. But if everything happens for a reason, why do women have miscarriages, why are children and animals abused and why would some supposedly "Wholesome" good figure let that happen? If they knew that they would've eaten from the tree, why didnt God just let them instead of telling them not to? Why didnt he say what was going to happen?
Now, getting back to the Bible and such. How do we really know WHO wrote it? It could've been a couple of guys who decided to write a book out of boredom and it became a religion. For all we know, all of the Bibles, Qurans, and other "Holy" books could all be the same, just written in another language. Which brings me to the whole language issue. Where did language come from? It could have been the tower of Babel or anything else. there is NO explanation.
Did it really take God seven days to create earth? Well not how I see it. It says nothing about how the dinosaurs got here if the dinosaurs were here at all. In fact on the sixth day, man was here. dinosaurs were her sixty-five million years before man. Can "God" explain that?
Like I said, I'm not trying to offend anyone or down a religion, All I'm trying to do is state my opinion from a more logical point of view, not create an argument.
