RE: Religion is about control. Thinking for yourself is the only true freedom.

in #religion7 years ago

When I had this realization, I had to leave organized religion.

I always remember what Karl's max had written
' religion is the opiate of the masses' which I personally witnessed myself through living in a country where laws are heavily based on religion moral values.

The people are forced to pick one among 6 registered organized religion, if not, it would complicate their life as normal citizen and would even lead to blasphemy charges which could result 2 years in cell bars or more.

I have shared my own journey of leaving organized religion here where I've written lengthy journey from the beginning into a long journey of seeking :)

Anyway, You've given me another insight to think about :)

Hope you have a great day!

Just checked it out. I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.

I agree. Organized religion is not my cup of tea. At least as far as some churches I've been to throughout my life. Always thought it so hypocritical how everyone plows into church folding hands all holy one day a week yet basically shooting the finger at people on the way out of the parking lot...lol like wtf? But I now am a little more aware not to throw the baby out with the bath water. Christianity (at at least it's values) is the core of who we are as a Nation. It behooves us to at least understand the underlying societal value it has given the West in producing our freedoms. You canxt say that we would have them without it.
