Why I hate religion

1. People change with time, culture changes with time, way of life changes with time, values change with time. How can one set of static rules apply to all times ? How can rules which were made eons ago apply on today's world?

Stale water in a pot rots, dead body in a coffin rots, anything which doesn't change with time rots. No wonder many major religions of the world are rotting.

2. I know how to live my life. The things that I don't know about, I would want to figure them out myself. I don't want someone else dictating terms of my life and how I should live it.

3. I don't believe any of those rules came from god. They were all framed by people keeping their selfish interests in mind rather than looking at the world's interest in mind.

4. The world history is full of examples, the only things religion leads to is wars, deaths, jihad, crusade, burning people at stake. I am yet to see large scale kindness in the name of religion.

RELIGION is a synonym of EVIL

I would exclude Buddhism from this talk because I am yet to see Buddhists waging a war to kill people or forcing their views on others, nor do they have an expansionist agenda.

Some people protested about the above line as to why just exclude buddhism and there are other religions also which do not harm anyone. So I am striking out the above line altogether.

I would also want to clarify that this post is regarding the concept of organised religion as a whole. Not all religions suffer from those ills, but I feel on the whole, a world without religion would be a better place.
