Why I'm not a religious person

[directbetween]

I long to have whatever inspires the placid faces of Buddha and Jesus. I know that many millions of others see those expressions and think the same. They think, in this life of pain, they knew something that made it all okay to sit under a banyan tree or preach peace (more or less) on a hillside in the desert

I think, like anything else in this world, you have to ignore the posterboys and find what works for you. The core of religion is about the individual and its relationship to God/gods/the meaning of life/the universe/inner peace. Unfortunately this idea has been exploited by people desiring money and power and who need to rub their inner piece in your face. Kind of like the idea of democracy. Too bad we can't choose to join some other government Or opt out of its Ten Commandments. I'd also like to pretend its god doesn't exist. See you in the car -Millhouse.
