My personal take on RELIGION...

I used to believe Jesus was the son of God. I was grown up in a house without Sunday school or church and later got into it about age 18... I figured if I was going to get married and make vows I should know who I am making them to.

Later on in life I got pretty hardcore into church and really enjoyed it. Did lots of church outings and all that jazz...

Then I began to realize that church is a cult.

When did I learn this? When my pastor did a 2 week expose on cults and how to avoid them!

Cult leaders try to keep their members from having contact with the outside (think Russia, North Korea). Church pastors can all be quoted saying things like "Marry a Christ centered women otherwise you cannot have a good marriage since she will not know how to live." Or, "Join Men of the Church groups and Bible Studies so you don't find yourself associating with people who are not Christ centered and will corrupt you."

Church is a cult.

People who join cults usually do because they feel a need to be a part of something bigger than themselves. They feel that by joining this entity they will gain prestige and class through the entity.

Just about everyone I know who joined a church was on their last leg. They needed to believe in something bigger than themselves. Something that could give them structure. In this way Churches also mimick government.

Most people in churches and especially the higher ups in a South Orange County church are assholes and very stuckup... The same could be said about Tom Cruise... Church is a cult.

Now I wonder about people who go to church. Most are pretty fucked up in their daily lives and many act kinda crazy.

Anyone who would listen to a book written back when people thought the Earth was flat and or the center of the universe is a nutcase... Anyone who thinks the Earth is only 6,000 years old should be locked up in a mental hospital.

Now, if smart people were to blowup all places of worship, especially The Vatican and The Dome of the Rock the Earth and the people on it would probably be in a much better place.
