Tell that to the people yelling allah Akbar every time someone's face gets blown off. Even if it's their best friend getting torn to shreds... Allah Akbar!!! I've personally been against religion ever since I got expelled from catholic school in 6th grade for drawing in the bathroom stall.Hey man...ask what all the people have died since 911 think about religion...don't think its done much good for people in the long run,and def hasn't helped me on a dmt trip...and I'm lots of fun! Ask anyone.(not my ex tho,shell lie.)lol
I don't think religion is the root of all evil... nor does it cause all the wars and problems. People will fight over any differences or anything they can find to fight about. Closer to the root of all evil is probably greed. I don't think religion is dumb either. But I'm also not religious and don't hold any beliefs. I don't like institutional/structured religion very much... but I don't hate it. Nobody should hate anything IMO. And I'm not going anywhere with this.... LolAnd there is very, very few people that "hate" religion. Actually only 2% of U.S. citizens claim to be Atheist. I, am one of the 2%. And of those 2% , not very many are outspoken or openly hate religion. I am a very vocal person. I hate religion. Religion is the root of all evil. Religion is immoral and dirty and it is for the dumb. I know it is for the dumb because I was religious. I was just blessed with enlightenment from the ignorance and put on the right path to liberty of the mind.
I can use words like blessed , and evil, because they are not religious words. They are borrowed words from philosophers. Religion has had to steal all its ideas and words from Greek philosophers and paganism.
lol yeah. you have a good memory to remember all that without re-listening to it. And money the root of all evil?????? what about before money??? GREED!!!! Greed fuels the WANT for money....]Loosley remembered...george carlin;..'they want you to believe,there's a man in the sky..and he knows all you and everyone else does..and he can hear all your crys and wishes,all over the world,all at once...and if you don't believe in him or do as he says or others say he says,you will be cast into pain,misery,dispare,eternal suffering of flames and fire..nothing will be worse...BUT, he loves you!
....AND...HE NEEDS YOUR MONEY!!..PLEASE CALL NOW!!........
That pretty much sums it up for me..money is the root of all evil,and spare the pointing out of that phrase..there is a distinct difference in spirituality and religion..that's my 2 cents..
But what powers the desire for money????? If you have enough money to survive.... but you still want more.... What is it????I did...POWER..can't have power without money,won't want money without GREED...its an evil trifecta...perhaps EGO is at the root...hmmm...
