Religion

Why Do People Fight Religion?


DISCLAIMER: First I will like to say that I am not here with any preaching agenda. I am not here to convince you that God exists, which of course he does lol. I am not here to represent any particular religion either but since I am a Christian, I can speak from a perspective of one.



Why has it become the cool thing to fight religion? Why is it that there is a feeling of animosity to the church for example? Why have people made the decision that having this figure called God is a bad thing? These are all questions I ponder on daily, because as a strong believer in God I just don’t understand how the one thing that is meant to be our uniting factor has become the world’s villain.


The usual first argument I hear is that God does not exist; he is just a figure that was made by humans at one point, created so that anything that was beyond our scope of understanding and imagination at that point would be placed on this “God” figure. Once again I am not hear to argue whether or not God is real but my point to this is ; if this is the reason “God” figure was made, WHAT IS SO BAD ABOUT IT? What is wrong with us having someone we can use to blame for hurricane Katrina, What is wrong with having someone we can always go to when we feel down? What is wrong with having something divine that we can be attached to? WHAT?


Then come the second, oh but they say that God created the world. That is not true because according to “Darwin’s theory”, we all were created accidentally from a cell or some story like that (still doesn’t know where that cell or whatever came from). This is where I get confused, people can have the faith to believe that the human body as complicated and special as it is was made by accident but not that something divine made it lol. For me it takes a lot more faith to believe in Darwin’s theory than in my God. I mean truth is that Darwin was a Christian and only came up with this his theory after his child died and he had distaste for God. (You can wiki it if you do not believe or check your history books)


Moving on to the third usual, if there is really a God who made us and controls the earth. Why has he left the earth in such a mess? Why has he left some poor people? Why are there bad people? This question is simple to ask based on my particular religion that is. God has given every human his free will, he does not force any man to obey or serve him. Then you might say but he should be able to limit freedom of certain people who do bad things, then I will ask you what do you call bad in your eyes? Fornication is bad in God’s eyes, I am sure that none of you would like to lose your ability to fornicate lol when you want to. That is just an example, so if you are saying that God should tell people what to do then you are saying that you want the whole world to be a kind of slavery to him. ARE YOU ALL READY TO SACRIFICE THAT FREEDOM? I highly doubt it.


Then comes the usual other ones; crusaders, authority of the church in Europe etc. I am fed up and bored of these ones because they are totally baseless. The crusaders were not sent by God, they were just bandits who were murderous only that they were using God’s name. No where in my bible is it written that you should force religion on anyone because it goes against every principle of Christianity. Neither is the way church is run in Europe the style ordained in the bible. Plus you can be a Christian and not have to be a member of the “church”, you can believe in God and pray without having to go through all that politics.

I almost forgot about the atheist who believe in the supernatural but not in God. THAT IS JUST STUPID. God is meant to be supernatural, the head of it all. It is like believing in democracy but not in presidents(nullus)


person here to dig deep into their hearts and ask themselves, why do I Fight religion? Feel free to leave the answer to that question as a comment, Holla atcha boi.

SEXISM

I always believed that we were close to equality between males and females, or maybe that we are ALREADY equal. Well In Iran, this isn’t the case. I read a newspaper article a couple of days ago and I was extremely infuriated by what I read. Iran is as we are breathing drafting a law to limit places available for female students in college to 50%. FYI : Currently 65% of college students are female

I have no idea how anyone can create such a law. So now the 15 percent of females who are already in college are going to be kicked out? Let us imagine that one of the women, who are soon going to be kicked out, is a widow and she is seeking an education to get a job and get money for the family. NO, why should she study, she should stay at home and “attend to the family”. Isn’t getting financial aid part of “attending” to the family? Part of the law is also restricting women’s entry to medical schools, arguing that they [women] put a strain on limited-and sexually segregated – dormitory and transportation facilities”. The mentality in Iran is that a woman’s place is in the home and what is even more annoying, is there belief in something so absurd. I just have so much opposition to what they are doing; I am typing every single word so hard. I am against what they are doing because you cannot stand in the lives of people just because of their sex or something. You cannot continue your education because only 50 percent “of your kind” is allowed in colleges.

On April 2, 5 women activists were arrested because they were collecting signatures requesting for changes to laws that discriminate against women. With two of them getting sentenced to six months and another one a year? Why should they say no in something against them? Even in jail! Wow Iran, you are the “best” You are proud of yourself now with a crime rate of zero and full of amazing men (I am not against men don’t worry J) that you believe were made to make women feel very uncomfortable. Anyways even in prison, male prisoners get to smoke and drink tea as much as they like, while female prisoners are limited to two cigarettes and two cups of tea everyday. Men can exercise in sunshine, whereas women get their 15 minutes outdoors at sunset to sew or something.Come on!!

What have women done to Iran? I get really annoyed with things like this; instead of moving forwards countries like Iran prefer to move backwards. I congratulate you for this idiocy.


Even during punishment there is sexism?
