Religion

I love Bill Maher and really respect him, but somethings I don't agree with, especially the way he bashes religion. He kind of makes it seem that it is the religions fault for some of the atrocities people do, but that is not the case because many non believers, or Atheist, commit crimes as well. Religion does not teach people to steal from the poor, Religion does not teach people to be a pedophile and rape little boys, and Religion does not teach people to blow themselves up and kill other people. People teach people that.

By nature and history, we know that most Middle easterners, Persians, are very brutal. Unfortunately a vast majority of them are Muslims now, and that is where people tend to find it hard to separate their culture with the true religion. We also know that Religion is not for the weak, and unfortunately, 75% ( an estimate) of all humans in the world are weak minded. If you want an example, check out those Tea Party groups in the United States who call Obama a Socialist, without even knowing what a socialist is, but do so because the TV says so. Now the problem with the religion is the translation of the books. That is why I say every person has their own religion. Two people who sit beside each other in Church will not take the preaching of the pastors the same way, nor will the translate the Bible the same way. Or two Muslims praying next to each other in the Mosque may move alike, but prayers may be different. Now because the Original Bible was written in Old Latin, even people who speak Latin today wouldn't be able translate it 100% today, and we forget that some words used now had a different meaning in the past. Another Issue about the Bible is the many different versions of the Bible out there, and the rule of the Romans. Thats where the Bible starts to lose its true identity. A problem with the Qur- an and the Torah are the language barrier as well. Old Arabic is not like new Arabic, and old Hebrew is not like the new Hebrew. Another problem is that people don't understand whether or not if God is being Metaphoric or actual, hence the reason why some people are extreme in their belief. And this is just my view, I over analyze things. I am a Muslim, but not more of a modern one. I don't wear an Hijab, and have not got into the practice of actually praying 5 times a day, which I am going to start doing. I have a problem with some of the teachings in Islam, especially the Shariah law. See my whole thing is that if we believe in Jesus, and his teachings, and if Jesus said "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone" then why do we stone people to death. I see that law as a test by God, but who am I. I just know I believe in God, All of the Prophets, All of the Holy Books, and in Angels.

PEACE TO ALL
