I don't have anything against religion in general per se, I think there is some good in all of them that people can benefit from. However I do not fully believe in them as absolute truth and I do not place faith in any one of them because they are all man-made and therefore fallible. The 'stories' behind them are mainly composed of myth, fantasy, and imagination. I am not just some nay-sayer, I was raised in religion and attended/graduated from a religious school. I threw myself into it and that's when the truths about it began to emerge...I struggled for years with conflict over it. I do believe in a "god" a being or beings/entity bigger than ourselves that I refer to as "God", but I don't believe in religion (or many of the people who follow it).
