I'd like to Confess that I spent the last year wanting to believe in a god. I tried, I really did. I researched every religion from Jainism to Christianity to Islam. I visited multitudes of churches, mosques, synagogues, and other places of worship. What did I find? Nothing good I'm afraid... The reality is.....most religions are filled with hateful, deranged control freaks, bent on controlling everyone and everything around them by shoving their version of right and wrong down your throat. I've seen dazzling displays of hypocrisy. I've seen behavior that is downright dangerous and frightening. I've been told that I'm evil or asking questions.
So here's the truth. Religious people are some of the most mentally ill people I have ever met. After this journey I have dropped my political affiliation with the Replicant party,shunned religion in any form and started paying attention to my own inner voice for guidance. I am my own captain, and choose to do the right thing only because it's right. Not because I'm being threatened with punishment.
