as a young person, still in middle school, religion does not pose as a thing that needs to be a priority. If this is touchy for you, please read at your own choice. anyways, religion, to me, is something that people have as a way to deal with unexplained things, and problems in their life. they need to believe that there is a higher being, a spokesperson that creates laws to follow. they need to think that there is a person to watch over them. they can believe that all they want, if it makes them happy, if it makes them feel safe and secure. but for me, it's not that important. I just feel that I should follow common sense, in being polite, and using basic sets of unofficial rules. But if your religion believes that if you meditate or pray, you will reach enlightenment, then so it be. but for me, not so much. I just believe, that when we pass, if something happens, let it happen, if we go to hell, so be it, if we reincarnate as an elephant, so be it. if nothing happens at all, and we cease to exist, so be it. that's why I believe that we should make life as good as possible now and not be a fucking DUMBASS. because some people, including me, want a good life as well as these dumbasses, who put people down, to make a good life... don't make it happen, just have it.
