I Don't Believe In Organized Religion Stories of Experiences

I believe that organized religions are nothing but gangs. They are no different from gangs that you see on the streets. Most wars, segregation, prejudice, hatred towards others, etc are caused by religion. Religion in general has caused...

I may be spiritual and open minded but, ​I have no desire to ever become apart of an organized religion. Organised religions are nothing more than man made businesses built on controlling others through promises of eternal rewards...

But what you do and how you act. Do you act out of love, or from greed. Little things matter, for there no big things, just collections of little things. Do you care? I hope so, I think it matters, What if it is not God that...

It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.Robert A Heinlein.

Theology is never any help; it is searching in a dark cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there.
Theologians can persuade themselves of anything.
Robert A Heinlein.

If you read the book 'The Golden Bough' by James Frazer you will understand much about the relioanthrolopological foundations and see the fundamental flaw in religion, which is man himself. Each religion starts off well, with a voice in...

I am having some trouble with a family member of mine. Every conversation of substance leads to his faith, this in turn leads to how I am not "saved". We are very close, but this is getting frustrating for me, and even though I feel...

That's what I call both religious and non-religious people that are going through life, consumed by their limited capacity for seeking truths. Pinhole People. They are so focused on their beliefs, that they leave no room for the...

A couple of them came to my house, and I told them I was a man of science. They told me. that it was ludicrous to believe that a bunch of elements mixed together would make life all by themselves.

To which I responded. Well that is...

So I am not against Organized Religion, just how over-dogmatic people can be with religion. People say the Abrahamic religions are overly dogmatic, but Eastern Religion can be just as Dogmatic. Im not one who is interested in all...

I, at one time, went to church. Whether told to as a child, or wanting to as a young adult.
My great-grandfather was a Hellfire and brimstone kinda Babtist preacher. He used to scare me into belief when I heard his sermons as a boy. He...

I have always liked that statement. That is what I believe in. I have looked into different religions so that I would have a basis for forming my beliefs and have determined that it is a bunch of garbage with very little supporting...

You only have one life....eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow you may die. I use to believe that until I became aware of some of my past lives. Now, I eat, drink, and know...tomorrow is a shadow of today.
It's hard enough living on...

"The entire Christian calendar is based on a miscalculation", the Pope has declared.
The culprit ?
The mistake was made by a sixth century monk known as Dionysius Exiguus or in English "Dennis the Small", says the Pope.

But...

I honestly believe in the existence of a higher being, a god, but I dont believe in the church. Growing up in a religious community though, my companions often tried (they still do sometimes) to "reach out" to me. They make it like I'm...

I dated a Jewish girl for 3 years while I was in high school. Our relationship was solid, and had absolutely nothing to do with religion. We each knew that our respective families believed differently, and that neither was heavy into...

Religion causes strife and conflict. Because they label people as "evil", "sinner", or "bad" for being different than the totalitarian dictator (god) mandates.

In life people are trying to regulate chaos. Trying to enable life and...

I never thought much of a Spiritual Life when I was young. Mostly because my parents fought more over religious ideals than bills. My Dad was Spiritual while my Mother was a Born Again Christian. The thing I noticed between the two was...

Most religions claim that their followers will be saved, but in the end (in my opinion) more harm is done than good. Do some people realize we are arguing over events that probably never even happened?
