Re: How Much Is Too Much?

"The concept of religion, originally used to control society through fear, has become a coping mechanism for the masses to explain the unknown"


you know its almost like you took the words out of my mouth..

this is why i became buddhist several yrs ago.. too many people use God to cope with life.. instead of worrying about and working on whats in front of them.. too afraid about dying and going to hell or heaven etc. Its like being in the Matrix.. ignorance is bliss and working on things is painful, suffering is apart of life.

i mean the 10 commandments are pretty simple.. be a good person basically and not a douche bag.

I don't understand why those need scare tactics (ie burning in hell) to do the right thing.

But hey that's just my view on organized religion and lack of present awareness. Tweet
