A Collection of Impulsive Thoughts

Here are some statistics to ponder and some thoughts to meditate on.

No matter what religion you choose, no matter how devout your are, not matter how strongly you feel and how much you think you know, the fact is that you are in the minority and the rest of the worlds thinks something differently.

WORLD RELIGIOUS AFFILIATIONS:

Christians - 32% (but that also includes catholics protestants, Jehovah's, etc, most of which still cant agree with eath other)

Islam - 20%

Agnostic/Aetheist - a staggering 16%

Hinduism - 14%

Buddhism/Traditional Chinese - 12%

Tribal - 5%

Judaism - .22% (I expected more)

So keep in mind that most followers of each of these religions are extremely disciplined in their customs, and some of them kill or would die for thier faith.

Most ancient religions arent even practiced anymore. The oldest religion that is still alive today is Hinduism. Christianity and Islam are relative newcomers on the spiritual scene.

The only reason humans even know religion is because it is passed on by generations and by parents to young impressionable kids. It is used as a method of control and to provide answers to questions that dont have answers. For some people it is used for inspiration or an ethical barometer. It is also a business just like any other business that has to provide a service and pay the bills.

Despite volumes of evidence against organized religion, people are self righteous and will even become violent when defending a faith that advocates peace.

If you choose to think on these matters, please recognize that I encourage spirituality and finding positivity in your life. Just dont be so firm with an "I'm right, their wrong!" mentality.
