I'm copying Alexa on this one, because I love her idea SO MUCH!
Sorry I always go off on little religion rants on here. It's just really frustrating to me.
For example, the other day I was standing in my kitchen cooking dinner and I got a phone call. It was a local number from smithfield, so I answered it. It was some guy from the stake presidency asking for people to come to the blood drive this week. I told him I would if I could, but I got a tattoo and so cannot donate for eleven more months. He got all sorts of angsty and sputtered and asked why and if I had talked to my bishop/family about it. And I calmly explained that it was a personal decision and that I had to go. And he kept freaking out so I just hung up. It's just incredibly annoying to me.
I know some people have excellent experiences with the religion of their choice, and I'm just fine with that. It just has never worked for me. I know you're supposed to look at the religion itself, and not the people in it, but I think the people in it play a pivotal role. So many people who tell everyone they are mormon are so so SO hypocritical. They drink, swear, have sex, whatever. And they judge. That's what pisses me off more than anything else. Mormon's are supposed to be these amazing people who love everyone equally, and they don't. My entire ward back home is filled with judging.
I think religion causes more problems than it fixes. There have been huge, bloody wars fought solely over religion. I think people can be truly amazing people, full of love and charity and who do good things and are honest and are FANTASTIC who have no religion at all. And that's fine. But the church I was raised in would say that they are still going to hell. I've posted this quote on here before, but I love it so much I'm putting it on here again:
"God is love, and he respects love. Whether it be the love between a parent and a child, man and a woman or friends. I dont think God cares about religion one bit. live your life the way you should. Dont hurt others, help those in need and love with all your heart. And if there is a heaven im sure you will be welcome."
