Title: The Rant
Posted On: 2015-05-24 18:45:08 UTC

Religion is an intricate part of me not being religious. For one, I realized people aren't naturally or hermetically good people. ONLY the fear of a higher power makes you do the right thing, not because you think it's right. Y'all literally fight to do right and so easily do wrong. People are rarely good people out of the kindness of their heart, they're kind out of fear and that doesn't last long nor seem right. That's why I'm not religious but I respect it because of its social order & construction. Ask yourself, what would you do without the phobias of hell lingering over you? Would you still be a good person without your religion? What if Heaven was presented as your home of afterlife regardless of the atrocities you may commit? Would you disrespect your religion because of your guaranteed destination? What if you couldn't repent, what if praying wasn't an ideology of asking for heavenly grants & forgiveness, would you still be a good person? Who's good without the fear of religion? Who's religious from the love of it and not the fear of it?
