An Atheist's Twisted Point of View

Allah. Bhagwan. Yahweh. They all mean one thing, one thing every human being on earth is aware of it in one name or another; God. The idea of a divine being that controls every action is the universe from the creation and destruction of life, to supernovas and ultimately the creation of existence. Now at the major expense of making me look like an ass, how stupid are people in this so called advanced society. Yes this piece of writing is going there, so if you dont want to be offended, go read some less thought provoking crap on some other site. Anyone who knows me knows I am an atheist, that is I dont believe in the existence of god. I have my personal set of beliefs and I dont try to preach to anyone, I show the same restraint I wish to be showed, I hate preachy bullshit filled missionaries intent of recruiting me to their religion. So in the real world I keep a mutual respect to other people, I try not to discuss religion with anyone as it is one of the taboo subjects you dont discuss.( unless of course there is whiskey and tequila involved, then I become an avid member of the atheist movement.) This is my vent, so im going to do it. Now most other atheists, they bash the organized religions for exploiting the people and profiting on their divine intentions. Myself, i too have a problem with this system of buying your way into a place called heaven where you have all your desires. Religions exploit people's fears of the real world and turns them into metaphors for explaining the unknown actions of the world. Turning rational thinking humans into god fearing drones of a religion intent on controlling the masses. People are perfectly capable of making their own set of moral values. One true point opposing this is that people are panicky the larger the group gets, incapable masses with no order or control. While this may be true it is done as a fear of god. If that obstacle were removed, a healthier mind would focus on improvement of fellow humanity. Organized religion promotes an all knowing god that accepts all his followers, if you follow that god. Hop on over a continent or two, and you have a different religion, with a different god, who has different rules, different ways of living. Now to them you are a blastphemer, an outsider who lives his life wrong, conflict ensues. The best example of this is the crusades, the holy wars fought during the middle ages between two different religions. Killing each other because their religion told them the other was wrong. That is fucking ridiculous, no false god is going to make me kill my neighbor because their beliefs are wrong. These people were conditioned to find something wrong in someone else because they werent the same as them. My exact view on organized religion is that they are leeches on society. Doing more harm than good, enforcing an ancient forgotten edict on a society long past the age when they could be scared by the shadows of the unknown. So if i had my way, no religion, anywhere. People would be educated in Science, ways of advancing the future of our species. Not ancient mind control techniques aimed at creating a being that controls your heart and your mind. My thoughts on this havent always been so, I used to be an avid believer of god, i went to church, paid my tribute, prayed and felt him watching me at all times. This was changed for me 9 years ago, my eyes were forced open and I learned the truth of our existence. I learned that believing in god was an inferior way of living. I opened my heart and brain to the ways never condoned by the church. It is a burden at times. It is much easier believing in a divine being, explaining all of life's mysteries. To be an atheist, knowing you are alone in the world is a burden that sometimes feels like its engulfing you. That is my truth, my sense of living. I am much happier now than i ever was living the way i do. So to put an end to this extremely opinionated work, I leave you with hopes you have an open heart and an open mind. God is not real, its is an essence created by our subconcious to cope with the unexplainable actions of the world. This was my rant on religion and its effects on society, for the next installment I will turn my attention to god itself, questioning his strange logic. Until then, farewell my faithful readers, which as far as I know is just me.
