There are over 1000 religions in the world. Yes, I’m counting tribes in Africa who worship the Coke Cola bottle too. Which is the right religion? Is it the one my parents taught me? The one with the majority of followers? The one whose believers come knocking on my door on Saturdays? The one who has the most TV time? The one at the airport with strange haircuts and chants? Perhaps I should choose the one most convenient to me? Perhaps being religious should be tough and I should pick a religion with lots of rules and requirements? Perhaps devout my entire life to religion?
What is the purpose of religion? Is it to give my money so that the head preacher can molest children and live in a large mansion? Is religion even needed today? Was religion just a way to scare and control people since there was no government thousands of years ago to do this? There is no proof of heaven or hell.
Is there any real proof today that God even exists? Why would he hide himself if he was really there?
Could religion be just a made up fairy tale? Well, for me, I’m going to find me a Coke Cola bottle.
