Beliefs...

They're like the old saying...

Don't do as I do... Do as I say.

Religions are great for telling others how to live and what to believe...

While they have done, and continue to do exactly what they want, contrary to how they are telling others to live. 

The abortion issue is in the news again. Christianity and the sanctity of life. Now there's a mother  contradiction of all time. Especially when you consider that religions, including Christianity, has killed more people than anything in the history of the world. Its a bloody past that held no sanctity for life for anyone that didn't believe as they did. But now they want to take a standon the high ground, shouting to abolish personal rights to abortion... while other more pressing sanctity of life issues are ignored. 

Religions also tell you what to think, how to feel, who to blame, who to hate, who to oppress & persecute, and that freedom of religion means that they are free to force their beliefs upon others. 

I've never understood the entire pick and choose for how to live their lives when there are hundreds of contradictions in the teachings.

Just like religions pick and choose who to judge.

Wait, wasn't there something written about judging others?

And if you are not judging them,

how can they condemn others...

Or tell them how to live?

I know... it can all be easily explained... as always.

But this too...

Can be explained. 

I'm a big believer in freedoms.

Especially...

Freedom from Religions.

Don't tell me how to live my life. 

You do what's right for you. 
Stop trying to control others. 

This is not a controversial post. 
Unless you feel you have the right to tell others how to live.

Then I guess you would see this post as being controversial. 

Go figure.
