I hate people!

If you don't know what it teaches, than it's stupid of you to make such comments. I mean, were you there or something? Personally, I just don't see the difference between modern religion and ancient mythology. It's all pretty much the same concept. And also, I really don't see how it matters whether there is a god or not. I don't think that there is, but, seriously, who cares? I shouldn't have to devote my life to someone else's will just because they "created" me. I'm sure you didn't always listen to your parents, who literally created you, so what makes this "god" so special?

You and I clearly share the same thoughts on this matter. I mean, this post of yours could've easily been mine.
What's with people and this short-minded view that the religion they believe in is above all others! Don't they realize that unless they were there and saw it happen for themselves what others believe is just as truthfull as what they believe? It's because of this sort of small-minded views that fundamentalists come to be!
It's like you said Onizuka, there's no difference between modern religion and ancient mythology. The ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, etc, believed in their gods and their religions just as much as people do nowadays, to them it was just as real. They had their miracles, their holy books, ceremonies, etc. Yet those religions died out and today they're thought of as mythology but the truth is they were just as plausible as any other religion that exists today. And the religions of nowdays will die out as well, a good example is the decreasing number of Catholics. In 1978, 17.99% of the world's inhabitants were Catholic, in 1990, the tally was 17.68% and in 2002, 17.2%. I'm not saying it's going to disappear anytime soon but eventually it will, that's just the way things go. I'm certain the ancient Greeks never even imagined their religion would one day die yet it did.
As far as I'm concerned people should believe whatever their want but they should not only keep in mind that what others believe can be just as real, they should also keep it to themselves, by that I mean they should stop trying to force-feed their beliefs on others.
