When people hear the word "religion" they automatically assume that there is a higher power or god placed into this discussion. So many people are so quick to judge someone if they say they are an atheist. When you hear the word atheist some put the phrase "devil worshiper" along with that when it is quite the opposite. Atheism is based on the terms that you dont believe in any higher power or god or any form of religion. I place myself into this title, but there is a difference between myself and most "atheists". I was born into a strong christian family. I went to church for a good part of my life, until i wanted to discover the other side of the argument. People should stop and think about their views before they go off preaching. Think!... Theres 2 sides to this never ending controversy. Those who oppose the idea of a higher power, and those who worship a higher power. They both diferentiate themselves within terms of actually knowing the facts. Just like when i mention im an atheist to a christian, and they get a discusting look on their face like "how can you say that". Im not saying all but there are a hand full of christians that dont know both sides of the story. In fact, majority of christians today were born into christianity. Made to believe a certain way. Thats dehumanizing in general. You should have your own state of mind as to what you actually believe. Speculations can be made forever from now, but you should be able to decide what you believe in before its pushed on you. In my opinion believing that there is a god up there watching over us just seemed so, for lack of a better word. Stupid. The way i look at is that i can post this blog, and it wont change your mind at all. The arguement of religion will still be going on centuries from now. No one will ever know the truth. People will have their views and they will voice them as loud as possible. I myself look at the topic of religion as just a brainwashing tactic made up to keep the masses from getting out of hand. Religion was created to keep people in their place by putting a false sense of hope in their heads that if they just believed in god, they would be saved. Sorry my friends, thats not the case. When you die, you die. It doesnt matter what fucking religion you are. You still die. I just happen to think that there is no "god" in your sky looking over us. You may think differently, and thats okay. You may be brainwashed, but ill look past our differences and come to that youll do the same. Religion is fucking stupid. End of story.
