People who dispute the existance of God or a higher being are just as dumb as those who believe in it. The only truth is that none of us have a fckin clue. Science doesn't explain everything, neither does the bible. All we can do is enjoy the time we have here and take responsiblity for our own actions. Waiting for some higher being to tell us what to do or how to live, or berating those who choose that path is just a waste of time. People will always believe in stupid shit, and there will be wars regardless if it's over religion or money or something else. So what if religion is used to control people... so is the media and pop culture. At least religion attempts to teach good social morals. People will always seek out stupid shit to believe in because it makes them feel unique while still feeling apart of a team without ever having to think for themselves. It's human nature. All you have to do is look at high school to get a good microcosm of the world. A bunch of stupid cliques who categorize themselves one way or another and then look down upon other cliques who don't think like them. If you sit here and bash religion you are just part of another clique. You look just as stupid (to me) as people who believe in magical angels who save our souls and fly us up to heaven (or send us to hell if we are bad).
