What is a Weird Religion???

Every religion is a weird religion. I mean, think about it: whatever your worldview is, whether you believe in God or not, an afterlife or not, that's kind of weird. We have no proof whatsoever that there are any kind of benevolent deities in existence ("imaginary superfriends" as some have put it) concerned with our welfare, yet the world's religions tell us there are, and countless people have benefited from a belief in them. (So if it's all superstition, it's a pretty powerful one, huh?) What I found, after leaving the Christian Church and embarking on a search for truth, was that just about all religions have something important to teach us, and they're almost all a little bit screwed up in one way or another.

Learn from them all, follow one if it really turns you on, or follow none if you feel no need for it. But never make the mistake that many make of blaming the religious originator for all the problems caused by religious belief. Jesus never said it was okay to burn witches or torture heretics, and Mohammed never said it was okay to kill Jews or harass white people. Regardless of whether you're a "true believer" or a non-believer, remember always to question everything, employ your skeptical and critical skills, and never, ever let the enemies of the intellect and self-determination keep you in bondage by invoking superstitious threats of divine punishment if you don't believe in their particular deities. God/dess or evolution gave you an incredible brain, and you're meant to use it.
