Sooo. I haven't posted on here in over a year, but I figured Day 4 was a good place to start back up. A ton of things have happened in my life since I started this blog & I don't know where I'll be taking it, but maybe I'll start it back up now. :)
My views on religion: Mostly negative. Don't get me wrong - I know people who take religion to a good place, and I have no problem with that whatsoever, but for the most part I see religion used as a form of control through hatred and fear. For the people who use it for good and take the positive messages out of religion, I am truly happy for them. (I'm mainly referring to Christianity because, being stuck in the Bible Belt for my entire life, that's what I'm surrounded by and therefore most familiar with). I don't see anything wrong with people who need something to hold on to for inspiration, comfort, etc. as long as they don't use it as a means to oppress, control, judge, or otherwise harm others (or themselves). More or less, I'm completely disgusted by the hate and ignorance spread in the name of organized religion, and I personally think that it's easier to just live by positive principles without the need of a religion telling you that you should love and be kind. You can be a good person with morals without religion, I promise.
That's probably all I'll ever post here about religion because it's a topic I hate to discuss. :)
