Religion, for some people it’s a search for inner peace, and for others it’s a way of
controlling multitudes. The truth is that religion has been used multiple times
to explain cultural beliefs and morals. To be honest, I don’t think we need
religion, I mean, if you think that you need a system of beliefs because you like
it or because you want to be safe, fine, but don’t go around preaching that
without it I won’t be able to know how to be a good person. I personally don’t
think I need 10 commandments to determine right from wrong because the last
time I checked the commandments, it didn’t say anything about rape. Does it
mean rape is not wrong? Of course not. The world doesn’t need religion, it
needs common sense.
My
whole life I have stayed away from religions. I think they have only created
conflicts and death: the Gaza-Israel conflict (Jews vs. Muslims), the Inquisition
(Catholics killings anyone that wasn’t catholic) or the Jihad (the Muslim duty
of killing thousands of innocents in the name of Allah). If a king killed
thousands of innocents, he was wrong, but if he does the same in the name of
God, it was right. Is that religion? Murdering for your beliefs? Isn’t that
wrong? If you still need religion to understand right from wrong, I feel sorry
to tell you this, but you need empathy, not religion.
