I've never seen any proof that God or any other deity exists.
Now, I have religious friends and family, all of who; I respect and get along with perfectly.
However, when it comes to religion, and I ask them 'where's the proof?', they say 'read the Bible' 'read the Koran' etc.
As a child, I was obsessed with God, I read several bibles, tried praying, I did everything to find a shred of evidence that there's some form of super power.
I found absolutely nothing.
I want to believe in a god more than anyone on the planet, if there was credential proof that he exists then I would be the most religious person going.
This is what angers me beyond anything, I don't believe in God, therefore I have no obligation to any cause. I have no holy book that tells me how to live my life.
When I first heard of Al Qaeda, ISIS, etc carrying out terror attacks in the name of Allah, I was told 'that's not true Islam', which I believed.
When I first heard of the Westboro Baptist Church carrying out homophobic attacks, I was told 'that's not true Christianity', which I believed.
Now, in light of recent events, I no longer believe this excuse of 'that's not true religion'. What they mean is 'that's not MY version of Islam' 'that's not MY version of Christianity'.
People say terror has no religion, then who are the ISLAMIC STATE?
Now, I'm not saying all religion is bad, I'm just saying that terror is someone else's version of religion.
Think of religion like a gun, I could use the gun as a back scratcher, under my way of doing things, it's not going to hurt anyone. Someone, then may take that gun and use it to shoot another. Just because someone is using it differently doesn't mean that it's not a gun.
Just because someone interprets a religion differently to you, doesn't mean it's not that religion, it's still cut from the same cloth.
If there was no religion in the first place there'd be nothing to misinterpret (no terror attacks).
