I look around at all the pain religion has caused, and still is causing, such as limit of scientific and medical improvements, gay rights, and intolerance, and have no desire to live in a world where it exists. Sure, it can help with some people's fear of the unknown, but with such example as the Westboro Baptists and molestation by priests and ministers, I think the cons outweigh the pros. Even labeling the unknown mutes any real scientific attempt to answer what we don't know, because nobody can give up their beliefs for facts. My own boyfriend, a diehard catholic, has sex every other day, confesses and asks for forgiveness, and then just does it all over again. It makes no sense to me. I don't want to live in a world controlled by such an illogical thing. Does anybody else feel this way ?

    Don't blame the religion, blame the extremists who take it too far.

      Religion leads to fundamentalism... You do realize this?

    The world needs more people like us. Please don't leave it, there are many more of us who you might have trouble spotting but that's only because an "upstanding citizen is standing up to be noticed in the first place" - Serj Tankian

    Spread your understanding in a peaceful and tolerant way, don't hate religious people because you would be the same way if you lived the life they did. You're lucky enough to have lived a life of knowledge and understanding, don't throw it away. The free thinkers need more allies and friends such as yourself, you are not alone in this world just because you question things. All that means is that you are intelligent.

    There is nothing wrong with religion. The problem is the ignorance of the followers of the religion.

    You are right in the sense that hypocrisy is the worst! I can't stand it at all. That is why I'm not a fan of the government/politics, catholicism etc.

    Totally normal dear. This is the feeling of pointlessness. Seems like you're doing something for no reason at all and that you're living your life today struggling for whatever you can struggle from to make everything better for absolutely nothing at all. Life as we know it!

    I understand your concerns. But using this as an excuse to no longer want to live is pretty extreme. The best way to fight this is to spread your tolerance and understanding to others. Giving up accomplishes nothing but allowing "them" to win.

    Catholicism is the doppelganger of Christianity.

    The world sucks and people are normally stupid or paranoid. Learn to accept this as a fact and it won't be sad, it'll be reality. Just don't give up on yourself.

    Ew... you're dating a catholic
