In my personal opinion, they make a person weak, instead of depending on themselves, and working to build a better tommorrow, the leave it up to an imaginary power. Why?

Are they truly so delusional that they believe that a "Greater Power" will save them from all of their problems?

Their hypocrisy is another bother to me. Especially regarding suicide, where the average remark is:
"Its a sin, and they didn't have the Lord's power with them. Suicide is for the weak." etc etc
Really?

You say only the weak turn to suicide, but I say only the weak turn to religion
That hopelessness that comes in, the unbearable, crushing feelings of hopelessness, and they have the audacity to declare a victim of suicide as weak?

Pathetic.

Religious people have those same feelings, except instead of suicide, they stare at a piece of wood and beg for help. Now -that- is true weakness.

Religion and Faith breed Zealotry, Hate, and Ignorance.

Note: If anyone seriously reads these, please note that most, if not all religion related blogs of mine are written with a jaded view, and I hope that you don't take these seriously as an attack on you personally, These are personal thoughts and opinions of mine.

singerofsongs	Posted on 06:40PM on Feb 5th, 2013 Hi,solitarymind...How are you! I totally agree on your stance,against a religious person focusing more on it being a sin,instead of realizing that the person is going through a hard time,and probably is not feeling emotionally well.....so they should have mercy.I am not a religious person,quote,unquote.....but I do believe in God,and have a faith in him.In looking at what you say.....let's break it down! The earth spinning on its access.....if we were over degrees to the right,we could combust,to the left,freeze to death.I do believe,someone is keeping it going,an infinite being,not a finite one! As a human,we all have strengths and weaknesses....if we're honest......so if some people find help,comfort,solace,in God,so be it! That is the beauty of freedom of choice.Mankind is a marvel,brilliant,we live in a material,technological world.But last time,I checked....I don't know of any human who can make the stars come out at night,or cause the sun to rise! Saying ,"Religion and Faith,breed zealotry,hate and ignorance.".........well yes..zealots who are extremely religious in a religion that permits them to destroy rather than create goodness.......is the wrong kind of faith.I would like to add,there are many who because of knowing and believing God....have taken their possibilities,and done impossible things,because of a love,and faith in God.Amongst the list,Abraham Lincion,Martin,Luther King,Mother Teresa,many of past American presidents,etc,etc.Just a few thoughts.....and thanks for yours!
SolitaryMind	Posted on 10:56PM on Feb 5th, 2013 I appreciate your feedback, truly I do. I actually admire people like you that are able to take solace and find a "brighter side" when viewing the world and people around us. Its a rare trait these days. Sometimes I feel far older and far more jaded despite my age. But I thank you again for your view and opinion, as its why I joined e.p in the first place; to share thoughts and ideas with others.
