Searching for Meaning: Arguments Against Organized Religion

Man will walk the Earth in peace, not however, until the dissolution of religion. It divides us and submits us to another. Man cannot be free of itself until it is free of the slavery of their gods. A time will come when rational thought permeates our thick-headed foolishness.

Gods are the justification of hate, of separation, of inequality. How can one be free of hate, of division, or of inequality when yet they stick to a sectarian community. Divisions in the heart are subject of division in community. And never shall we be free until we think ourselves at heart and in existence equal, thus banishing the sectarian divisions of religious belief.

For the world to be good we must push aside the archaism of this life being a transience between birth and the next life, a way to suffer and earn eternal bliss. Until man focuses on the here and now, we will remain imperfect, we will remain divided, and hateful. Until we decide that this life, be there one after it or not, is worthy of effort, mankind will remain hateful and if there is another life after this present one, continue they have to deny themselves the pleasantries of that life too.

Sounds like Nietzsche's master-slave morality...I liked this entry:)
