Religion is the root of many evils.
We don't need religion to believe in God or the universe or whatever higher power you want to believe in. I personally believe that we are all part of what God is....God is part of us. The bible and all of the religious books were written by people......some things in them are common sense, some others might be prophecies.....we don't know for sure. To blindly believe in what the bible or other religious books say, because the christian society tells you that you HAVE to.....naw....that doesn't work for me. But I do know that we as human beings are more special that we think we are and that within us exists a godly light of some sort. Just be a good person, think positive and do good things and your life will be much more pleasant that someone who is negative. No need to run to church....
