Tornado Alley (PROG)

[nwsun]

what caused you to break away and think for yourself? were those conflicts always there or did some event cause you to say this isnt for me?

personally, my break came as i saw how people used religion and religious teachings to defend many things i saw as an antithesis of what i thought religion was trying to impart..

fortunately, i wasnt from a family that placed great emphasis on belief in god... i never understood how grown adults could hold onto such childish beliefs.

and now as i see adults use religion to defend war and killing in the name of my god is better than youre god, religion is taking on a very frightening face..

im not anti-war, but to see god brought into it as somehow blessing the destruction of your enemy somehow seems evil to me...

it makes us no better than the people who use their religious beliefs to justify our destruction...

to see people call themselves christian and then cheer on destruction in the name of jesus is contrary to what that myth is all about... it appears the believers really do operate from a perspective of do unto others as you want them to do unto you...

both sides feed off each other sides hatreds... i dont want any part of it, but feel i must keep apprised of their activities as someday i may be seen as their next target...
