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.
