Religion? - Natsu - 02-27-2016
Was wondering what religion everyone practices. And why? Post below.

I don't really practice any religion. My mum has always put me down as a Christian but I've never really been strict. I never go to Church but I do believe in Heaven and Hell and Jesus.

I'm a Christian but I don't believe some of the things in the bible.
So I can understand where you're coming from.

I'm not a religion, I just see it as a big pool of money.

Yeah. It just makes people believe in something, to be disappointed when they find out it's science which created us and not religion.

Did you know religion was originally used to keep the peace in countries?

Key word there is USED.
But care to explain the Crusades? I don't see that being very peaceful.

Yeah, it's a good idea honestly. Glad they came up with it because it keeps a lot of people sane.

Right. But maybe I'm foolish for believing it even though it's confirmed that it was created for those reasons. But oh well. Better safe than sorry.
