| I know that religion is a great comfort and sanctuary for people... but on the other hand it can prevent them from doing things they might otherwise want to do.
Alot of christians seem to spend their life trying to please god. They blame themselves for their shortcomings and thank god for their successes and achievements. They spend their lives trying to please god in the hope of having a better after life.
Me however, I can blame everyone but myself if something goes wrong.. I can take credit for my own achievements and successes and Im not worried about upsetting god and thus ruining my afterlife because I dont believe in one.
At least I can live for today and f*ck tomorrow. At least I can stand up and be proud of my achievments. At least I can thank myself for putting food on the table which was payed for with my hard earned money.
Are you sure religion is that great a comfort to people if all it seems to do is hold people back in the vein hope of a front row seat in heaven? And even If its all true and I went to hell.. Why would Satan punish me for not believing in god?. |
