Religion on the other hand gives people instructions of what to believe and what to do that cannot be questioned as they are the divine word of the lord and to do so would be blasphemy. Sure there are thoose who do not believe everything there bible says but to them I say if you think part of it is wrong why dont you believe all of it could be wrong? 


In that case, we better start putting everyone to death. As wearing clothes of mixed fabrics isn't allowed. (Bible says this, not me.)

Fact of the matter is, the Bible was never natively written in English it was translated over to English and some thing just never translate well

Secondly, it was written in another time for another time when the world and it's people was far more hostile.

And to add to that historically speaking religion was a way to try to explain things that we as humans simply did not understand, take for example Thor, God of thunder to explain the reason why we had Thunder and Lightning.
Or the Egyption God, Ra to explain the sun or Yum Caax to explain Nature... The list goes on, it doesn't make the current God-Of-The-Day any more credible than prior ones, just that science hasn't evolved enough to disprove it.

I just can't get over the fact that people believe that god and jesus appeared and performed miracles alot alot around 2000 years ago and beyond in a time for which historical records are poor yet nowdays where at best 1.2 billion people believe in the right religion out of 7 billion yet god doesnt seem to care enough to give us a clear sign today that he exist and what he believe's we should do. Look at mormonism a recently made up religion (comparitively) which we can poke loads of holes in it because it was recent and the records for the time and place were good. 

A person's religion is overwhelmingly a coincidence of birth and not a choice given that most people would never believe such nonsense if they were not brought up believing in it from birth, basically indoctrination. 

Sadly rather than terring each other apart by ripping into each others flaws and contradictions they seem to have decided that it's in their best interest to respect each others nonsensical beliefs despite none of them deserving it.

PS: I know that mormonism is a big religion with many followers despite the obvious facts about the religion that they are faced with, and that depresses me to no end.
