My sentiments about religion have held steady for as long as i can remember. Innately, i understood the distinct difference between faith and religion. I consider myself a human being full of faith. Faith in anything is possible, good always prevails over evil and inner peace thrives. My quarls with religion are simple, they seperate rather than unite people, judge too much and promote archaic ideals. Examples: not treating women and homo-sextuality with equality, defying something as innovative as contraceptions and encouraging the doing of good in order to reach a place of glory after we pass ( goodness should come naturally without the motivation of self gain.) I adopted the saying, "My God is spelled Nature." Belief in something greater is healthy and humbling. At no expense of another person's beliefs is euphoric.
This article coaxed me to look at the Catholic Church, Vadican in perticular through different eyes. The message is conctete,
"Sometimes opposition can be a stronger motivator than obidience." Although, we may disagree on topics, knowledge is abundant when we can listen to each other without getting offended. Religion is a touchy subject and i for one will continue to have hope understanding can mend any differences.

I agree with you opinions on religion. My religion is also spelled Nature. Access to information is what's going to cure us of archaic religions.
I agree, the more knowledge a person acquires the more whole and open minded they become.
