Can be seen as both a blessing and a curse. Religion is not inherently evil, its is people that make it what it is. It is only the biggest lie in human history if one allows a large bureaucratic organization to take control of it and make people believe under pain of death or some other unfortunate punishment.
In an ideal world religion should be a personal experience, but that is not part of the human condition as a whole. Religion brings hope in times of great duress and it can bring inspiration. Don't forget that it was the people of the Islamic faith who developed and pursued germ theory while Christians were wallowing in the Dark Ages.
Religion is ingrained in all of humanity, even atheists, who do not believe in a higher power still engage in religion like activity, such as rituals (taking a shower or bathing) and/or holding preconceived notions about Humanity (inherently good or evil). All things revolve around religion, no matter how much we distance ourselves from it.
People do terrible things in the name of religion, but they also do terrible things in the name of ideologies or creeds, such as skin color or capitalism vs. communism. Lets all just take a breath and accept that this is who we are, and try to enjoy the short time on this pale blue dot in the inescapable lens of the human experience and the human condition.

Get the Religion mug.RELIGIOUS-REICH was a term coined on "ChristmasIsAlie.com" to refer to"Christian-fascism" ideology which became present in American Evangelical circles during the Bush administration, documented in a book by War correspondent, Chris Hedges, "Christian Fascism and the War on America", as a result of Fox News indoctrination of conservative Audiences unknowingly being trained with World War II, Nazi political ideology and propaganda within a previously "Conservative-Religious" framework.
He used to be a "Religious-Conservative" but now he's part of the "Religious-Reich". He defends torture, wants to over-throw the U.S. government for a "Christian-Nation", and thinks "Religious Freedom" is actually something evil that must be destroyed.

A set of beliefs to explain life's questions. Religion does not mean Christianity, as there are many different religions, and different ways of following each. Contrary to what some think, religion does not cause wars or fighting, as most religions say that fighting is bad. It is, instead, the inability of people to cope with contradicting beliefs.
Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Shintoism are all religions- each has different ways of answering questions such as, "What happens to our spirit when we die?", "Why are we here?", etc.

Get the Reinis mug.Another stupid course forced on students who attend Catholic schools. Their main purpose is to help students put theological values toward professional and personal decisions, but is despised by anyone who doesn't give a crap about God. Also, this class is the reason why you have to attend an all-school mass at least once a month.
If you don't care about God, then religion class is simply a good time to take another 45-90 minute nap and fail the class because your chances of understanding it are zero percent.

Get the Religitard mug.Back in the time before MTV, there was a thing called "passion for music". Now, some of you may not know what that is and I can't blame you, for you have been victimized by MTV through bain washing. Anyways in this age of "musical passion", there existed a band called Bad Religion, who were very young at the time. They would form Epitaph Records, an independent record label that gave creative control to its bands not seen in like, forever. This record label would produce amazing bands such as NOFX, Bad Religion, Rancid, Dropkick Murphys, Offspring, and Pennywise. This record label was like the mecca, or holy grail, of aspiring punk rock bands of the 90s. These bands didn't need publicity, to be expoited by MTV. They proved that you can live and be in an indie band at the same time. Now, I don't know what went wrong with punk rock along the lines, but these new bands just suck.
To make a long story short, just get Bad Religion's newest cd, The Empire Strikes First, and you will never go Good Charlotte again.
