13. Religion is.....
a learned behavior. Something thats handed down, like being born into a Catholic family or being born Jewish..etc.

Religion is a comfort buffer since we have no clue what happens after you pass. Its a gamble, you can worship Jesus till your last breath only to learn that after that wonderful trip down that tunnel of light, there is nothing. I dont believe in Heaven and Hell, I think we all walk the same line after we pass regardless of deeds we have done in our life.

Religion is why there are Wars, evil people like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell. If there was NO religion, but some other form of religion that ALL of the world followed this world would be a much better place. We are not focused, no one is concerned for the world as a whole, could you imagine a world were we all work together for the same goals??? Since there are so many different religions that and one inparticular that wants to rule the world (christianity) it seems there will be a continues struggle between the peoples of the world.

I know if I was President, I would be doing things that would UNITE not only the peoples of the United States but all the people of the world. I would also create a resoultion to not give any funding to religious organizations and make sure that Government agancies did there Jobs as well as have there appropriate funding. Religious Cults have no place in policy making and foriegn affairs. Its caused nothing but hate and war, instead of working for peace these religious sects have only aided in serpateing the peoples and attempt to set the clock back 50 years. It must be nice to live in Europe, I have half a mind to move to England, Germany or Spain (Same sex coupleship is recognized)just so I can marry the person I have been with for 11 years and not be treated like a subhuman. Here in the US, the religious freaks want to have withchunts on gay people because we want to have equal rights and those lunatics seem to think that if we do marry its somehow going to affect them personnaly.

I believe the world would be a better place if there was NO religion, the things that been done in gods name is enought to make me wanna vomit.
