I think that religion is just a hold that some people have over others who believe in it. Everything that religion represents is a worldly creation. MAN makes religion, not God. I think that if you believe in God, you dont necessarily have to have a religion. I for one think that rituals and ceremonies and stuff are completely irrelevant. Prayer? Do we really need to go every Sunday to church to pray because, well, the CHURCH tells us to?

Religion makes God inaccesible.

[/I]Religion starts off as being something that aims to implement good deeds in human beings. It starts off by being a pillar of hope for people who were in distress. But now, don't you think religion and the people who claim to be its authorities, is just kind of controlling? Human beings know their morality, the absolute morality that governs us naturally, for example no killing or stealing. I dont think religion brings anything new to the floor. Other types of morality, for example, sexual morality, homosexuality and prostitution: don't you think that people have a right to be free from religion, and yet be close to God?
