A controversial topic, religion. But we aren’t exactly sure why. We are just expressing our opinion, we do the same when we dislike a book or a film. We do that without thinking twice. But a religion, no. When one is talking of religion, one is stepping on very thin ice. I intend to completely smash the layer of ice I’m standing upon and dive into the freezing cold waters that sit below me. I think it’s about time we hit the nail on the head.

Religion. Created thousands of years ago as an explanation by the confused. Then a group of people saw this as an opportunity, an opportunity to gain power. They harvest this; claiming they were prophets and friends with this mystical man in the sky. People overcome with excitement believed this, accepted them, worshipped them.

They began to divide off into different places, with a mass following of slaves. They claimed imaginary land and drew lines in the sand. “This belongs to us, because God said so”. But they got greedy. They wanted more, and on the service of God. God being their internal monologue telling them that they need more power, began to push into other territories.

War broke out between these religious savages. This frightened the people, they didn’t want to fight. They were confused! So what did these Priests, Mullahs and other religious leaders do? They commanded that God told them that they had to fight to get into this mystical place of beauty called “heaven”.

What these people do is make up their own rules for power. I don’t believe for one second the leaders of religious organisations believe. How can they? Making up rules to suit them. Corrupting this once beautiful story. So what do you have? You have all of these religious books promoting war, hatred and fear in God. A fear that if you don’t do as the people in charge tell you, this mystical being will fuck your life up. Because fear is the easiest way to control someone.

Religion isn’t about spirituality, peace and understanding. It could have been, but it’s not. It has been corrupted. Made into a subject that is forced upon the masses and if you dare question it, the worst will happen. It is so easy to say to someone “You must do this because God said”. It’s a known fact that you should never question him.

Look at the middle-east. How many countries now live under a forced Islamic rule?! You HAVE to be Muslim or die. What kind of fucking choice is that? What kind? Who has the right to give someone that kind of horrific choice? God does. Fuck him! What a cunt.

So, why is religion the root of all evil? Because religion actually means to have power. To be in control.

You’ve got Christians and Muslims shocked by North Korea. How hilarious. Look at yourselves! You are limited to follow your dictators. Don’t you dare have sex before marriage! Don’t you dare eat meat! North Korea have Kim Jong as their dictator. Religious people have God. It’s the same thing.

Religion has had some input in every war, every conflict. Because it always has something to gain. So, and it may be extreme but if the world powers came together and said “We Ban Religion”. I bet you- the world would finally be peaceful.

Religion is a mental disorder. But one that is being passed from generation to generation. Open your eyes. Look at all the deaths caused by “faith”.
