I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

Truly, God is nothing but a myth. The church is even corrupt by its ways. Religion is like this: love me or go to hell and suffer. Honestly, it's fine to really have faith but in the end of the day, it's nothing but a myth. Propaganda and scapegoats are used nowadays for religion to gain more brain washed people. Quote from Marilyn Manson's song "The Fight Song" in Holywood (In The Shadows of The Valley of Death): "I'm not a slave to a God that doesn't exists."

I think there is a higher power I don't believe in hell , but I do believe In heaven because I'd like to think after I die I'll get to just feel happiness and nothing else, just pure joy. For many years religion has been manipulated to sometimes gain money or control the society but I don't care about that , all I care is that God is watching over me and he is not vengeful in my head, I could make a thousand mistakes In my life I know he will walk me through each of those obstacles .i can hate him I can despise his decisions but at the end of the day I have no choice but to trust his ways. It's hard trusting his decision , especially right now since my brother died recently , but I'd like to think he had perfect timing and an all powerful vision of the future that I don't have . But I understand what you're saying trust me I've had pastors tell me I was going to hell because I questioned things in the bible. Psh. I know God doesn't give a shit, he isn't looking down on me saying " what the ! She isn't believing in me ?!? Screw her ! Send her to hell!" Nah if anything he it's part of his story for me, to question things, to doubt . Doubting isn't a bad thing,it allows for me to explore more things in life and it allows me to look more into the bible to question things.

I'd like to encourage you to read "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins.

@regrets472 , I'll gladly read anything, including The God Delusion, I've read the description on it and correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like the author looked how each religion views God and then he says why it's wrong to believe in god that way and he shows all the wrong things about religion and how it causes wars. Thing is I used to be an atheist, trust me if anybody knows about the prejudice of religion it's me, but now nothing not even a book can change my views on God.

That's not an accurate description of the book at all. I'd describe it as a book in which he addresses many, if not all, arguments that a good apologist might present, and answers them with sound logic that is agreeable even to Christians. I'd be very interested to know if anyone comes up with any arguments he doesn't address, actually.

Ok, that does sound interesting.
