<{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Don't get me started on the Islamic religion.
I've had to do a 3 page essay (I know, easy) on the Islamic leaders, and while reading about it, I've found that it makes zero sense to me. And, to be honest, it sounds dumb as hell.
Basically, some guy claims he's receiving messages from God, and everyone just believes it. No proof or anything. Riiiiight.
Oh well, at least the pillars of Islam all have good intentions.</div>
don't get you started on Islam? get started on what? i'd like to see what you have to say about it.
religion is based off faith and what you believe, so just because it doesn't make sense to you doesn't mean it's dumb. maybe it's on another level that you can't comprehend?
"some guy claims he's receiving messages from God...No proof or anything"
why are you singling out Islam?
but at least the pillars have good intentions!
</div>
I'm singling out Islam because I had to do an essay on it. And I do realize that this is the same way with nearly every religion.
I wasn't saying there that the concept of a religion is dumb. What's dumb is the fact that people are told something, and don't question it. They just believe what they are told. When you take a step back and look at everything, that's how it is with so many things. And it's pretty ridiculous. (Then again, I guess I was saying the concept of religion is dumb, because that's basically what it is.)
I also do realize that the pillars do have good intentions (and actually pointed that out many times when talking to my friend about it). I realize that Muhammed had some good intentions (whether he was sane or not). I also realize that, with no intention, he created a religion that has turned out a whole shit load of killing (and I do realize that the same can be said about other religions, though). I just did a whole essay on all the deaths resulting from the creation of Islam. And it's just really annoying me.
Damn, it's so hard to type out my thoughts so that they make sense right now. I'm so tired and worn out from a long day. If I didn't make sense with anything in here, please point it out.
