Dear God,
Please stop letting MEN try to control people, money and power through organized religion so they can advance political measures that benefit them financially. Open their hearts to your TRUE design for life and REMIND them all that you created us all with our own free will, hearts and minds. Help them to understand that you would never have designed us with free will JUST so we could be manipulated into following OTHER MEN'S free wills that are fueled by GREED and POWER.

God is not the drug. organized religion is. Many people believe in God without believing that others will go to some supposed "hell" if they don't believe the same thing. Many people have a healthy PERSONAL relationship with some entity that they sense or feel in their heart that they choose to call God. And they do it without imposing their beliefs on others. You MUST believe in something... maybe you believe we are simply an organic anomaly that dies for good one day. that's fine if believing that provides you with some satisfactory sense of finality in life. Some people don't like the idea of some "eternal life" that cannot be answered for or explained. Maybe that's you. Well, thank you for being you and for not trying to shove your beliefs down the throats of everyone else! Peace!

You are but a sheep following the shepherd with the loudest trumpet. The loud trumpet of organized religion that is designed to control people, money and power in order to satisfy GREED. We all believe in something. Do not judge others and do not be so quick to condemn others to HELL. How do you know that the religion YOU follow is not a deception that will take you to hell out of GREED? You would be wise to question religious authority that get PAID to "lead" you down some spiritual path that GOD already gave you the ability to follow on your own free will. Your faith, BLIND faith, in religious leaders and supposed authors of the bible..."God's Word" may be leading you down the wrong path. You should instead follow your HEART that GOD gave you along the spiritual path that you FEEL led to follow in your heart, NOT in your MIND that has been corrupted by church and spiritual leaders whose motivation is MONEY and POWER they need to get POLITICAL leaders to do what BENEFITS THEM more than YOU. Get a clue you lost lamb....

The war in Iraq was caused by the greed of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney you moron. not religion. Get a clue. religion sucks... but it was not what cause the war in Iraq. Don't be so quick to expose your ignorance.

It is not God or his supposed followers that are the issue. It is not those that denounce God that are the issue either. It is not about God and it is not about the HUMANS, the MEN that wrote the supposed "word" of God. Even if those "men" were divinely guided to write the scriptures, it does not matter because if there IS a God, he CLEARLY gave each and every one of us our VERY OWN free will and mindset, our ability to determine what works for us to get us through life. The PROBLEM people, is ORGANIZED RELIGION which was, is, and always will be created and organized by MEN in order to control PEOPLE, POWER, and MONEY. Take organized religion out of the world and let each individual believe in the God of their perception that fulfills their own needs; whether they believe in one God or many, big God or small God. Maybe their passed-on grandfather is their spiritual guide and maybe that works for them. Maybe they believe in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Or perhaps Buddha is their prophet and spiritual guide. Perhaps practicing Yoga daily provides them with the introspect and comfort they need in their daily lives in order to impact the world positively and live gracefully. Maybe they believe nothing and that daily life is their "God"... who are we to care if one's personal beliefs bring them wholeness and satisfaction in life? As long as a person lives a life without intent to harm others... why is it ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS? Christians... just stop telling everyone they will go to HELL if they don't share your beliefs and for GOD'S sake, stop being so hypocritical.
