INGON NILA RELIGION IS BAD but I think having none is WORST!

[herp_doctor]

I dont have a religion, does that make me bad?
I dont believe in God. But i do believe in the forces of nature, the power of the natural law and order and chaos, and the power of common sense.
I do have faith, i have faith in myself.
I am what i am, what i made myself of. I dont want anyone (particularly those looney religious nuts) to tell me what i should believe, nor persuade me to such.

Just because im a free thinker and have an open mind to ideas (this goes to every other open-minded oou there too..), that gives anybody a bloody right put something in it or fill it with those bloody religious nonsense and heresy.

In a nutshell, here is what I believe.....

I believe we're all part of the same oneness that is the universe. We're all pieces of a whole that have the wonderful ability to have individual experiences and perceptions. I think it's a waste of time to try to figure it ALL out. I prefer to spend my time enjoying this experience we call 'life' and let everyone else enjoy theirs.

I hesitate to call myself an atheist because people love to use labels and then twist what they then believe that means I believe and don't believe. But, I will tell you that I believe the bible is a bit of historical fiction utilized by far too many people to attempt to control, manipulate, scare and condemn others with.

Very good point mate! That's another nail on the TS...

Its good to know that most of US learned from our own NUTSHELL.. But there's definitely more that most who never get a good grasp at EVOLUTION and started to evolve as good life giving / bearing trees (or human beings for this matter), and decided to stay in that NUTSHELL to become NUTS...

I think so too. But people need something that holds their respective selves to a group or groups. Parang segregation ba, that once you're belong to this group you're good or bad or something else...

I think the idea of having none makes it one. If there's mistake, we can just blame no one but ourselves. IMO.

I think religion starts out as a sincere desire to know what life is, why we're here, why stuff happens that seems to make no sense, and so on. But shortly thereafter religion usually ossifies into a political system that is basically used to control other people and win arguments even when you're wrong.
