First of all it would be nice if this thread remained quite civil, these topics usually generate tension, a rivalry of opinions and people who have over the top reactions to others opinions, if you feel you can't handle it, don't read or reply.
Heated conversation is fine, just don't go all out swinging, no need.
So religion to me. Mother and father were "believers" i used quotes because neither followed the "rules" they just used it as some kind of stress relief "an answer" when things are really rough.
So my mum went to church every Sunday, and i used to love going just to eat the free biscuits and scoff chocolate and what not.. a total joy for a kid but also served as time away from home (mum and dad never allowed us out to play etc) and i got to eat..
We sat down.. they would jibber jabber some stuff from a verse the lovely woman would mention, and people would hold their hands to their faces or just look down.. so i followed suit as to not look out of place, i remember not doing so and my mum had a dig at me so yeah...
The vicar was a lovely woman, really well meaning and kind.
Now home for me was a war-zone, it was for everyone, dad treated mum like rubbish, she gave it back in small doses but mostly he was the victor.
So my dad back then was never into it, mum did her own thing at church.
She made friends with some, it was her escape mechanism, her free time.
Now i still to this day don't believe at all, it serves me no good to believe in it as much as believing the Earth is flat.
However religion can serve as a way to bring people together, provide warmth, and in a community like fashion support one another, there is an aid "Christians against Poverty" which is humanitarian, nothing to do with religion.
What i see religion as is a means to assert a will or power that by normal means would never gather a foot hold in reality, so someone has to bring up such a concoction and it needs to be spread like wild fire for good or for bad, it is what it is.
Some of you may agree or not agree, i don't care for your opinions, i am fixed in how i view it, however i will openly read what people have to say with a differing opinion, if i can answer and find a good point i will do so.
I am more intrigued with the human mind and how it creates, absorbs, latches onto things.
