Religion....fuck them

[Masquerade]

I strongly agree that people should be able to rely upon themselves in time of need. And like I said before, atheists are capable of being good people and often are. And now that I think more about it, they seem to have more open-mindedness to other ideas which is beneficial and almost necessary to possess in a world as diverse as ours. I cannot stand people who use religion to judge other people, create problems for society, or, in extreme cases, justify war. All of that goes against the teachings they themselves impose upon other unsuspecting people. To tell the truth, I don't belong to any religion for I am open-minded to all religions and take to heart the in-depth cultural influence they have. I do believe in God, and I'm a very nice person. That is pretty much the extent of my "religion". By posting here, I've realized I'm trying to defend both sides, though the atheist route seems to have the advantage seeing as how religious persons aren't as moralistic as they wish to be. So, in conclusion, it is absolutely fine to be an atheist, and it is also fine to be religious. To me, neither are at fault. Atheists cannot criticize religious persons because they worship something that isn't there, but at the same time, religious persons would think it wise not to judge atheists for not believing in something they don't think is there. It appears as though both sides have reached an unbreakable and incomprehensible impasse that will probably last until the end of time.
