I got in an argument with some guy about religion and realized that I never really defined my view on religion. I decided to think it out and came up with this. I thought it was very sad and whondered if someone else might be able to do something to help me out, so I googled forums about life and this was the first thing that came up. I decided to get an account and see what other people thought. I guess I don't really have any better reason for posting this than I didn't have anything else to do with it and I didn't want to do nothing.
Also, I apologize for any mispelled words.

Life isn't fair. Once you exist, you can't un-exist. You didn't ask to exist, you were forced into it, and the people responsible for it ask you to love them simply because they brought you into this world, like it is some great favor you are repaying them for. And once you do exist, you have to go through life and answer unanswerable questions, usually about religion. The great thing about religions is that all the proof they need is usually is in some anchient book. Two things that all religions have in common are that they say that the others are wrong, and they ask for faith because there is no way to prove them right. There are almost infinite religions and no matter who you ask about religion, they will think they are right, because from their point of view, they are. There is no way to know which one, if any, is right. If you are wrong, the price is almost always eternal damnation. So unless you believe without a shadow of a doubt that you are right, and mabey even if you do, you are completely and totally screwed and you can't do anything about it. Almost all religions require faith, and none of them give much proof. Its like standing on a pillar and you can't see the ground because you are so high and there are hundreds of people saying there is a safe landing, only none of them say the safe landing is in the same place and the pillar could colapse at any time. Many people say that the fireworks going off in that direction prove that that is the way to jump, a second group say the fireworks prove that that is NOT the way to jump, and other people are whondering what fireworks they are talking about because they don't see any, or think the fireworks are in another direction. When chosing which way to jump, you have to consider that the majority might not be right. In the end, the only way you can know for sure is if you jump and survive. And how did you all get there? WHO KNOWS!? There are millions of explinations, none of them with solid evidence to back them up. Its all a matter of faith, wich you are screwed without. I, having no faith, am one of these people standing around going,"What the fresia are you all doing!? Running around yelling at each other, killing just to prove a point, lieing. Its pure chaos and none of you are actually doing anything to make it better!" And noone CAN make it better. We just live our lives and eventually fall of the pillar by accident, or some people jump on purpouse because they think they are right, and others are pushed off by people trying to benefit themselves somehow. Did any of them survive? How would we know? The answer is we CAN'T. We may think we can, but no matter how much we do, we just can't prove it. I'm tired of talking about this because it depresses me. I won't believe anything untill I see evidence, and so far, I have seen none...I know, its not a good view. I never said it was, but I don't know what else to believe. This whole thing is stupid. I don't see why we always have to ask these unanserable questions, but if we don't, then life is meaningless, and if we do, then life becomes too complicated and ultimately, an annoyance. I should have never started thinking about this so much, because now I'm sad. I only started thinking about it because I got in an argument with this guy about religion and realized I didn't have my own view of religion completely thought out. Now that I do, I'm not sure that I'm any better off.
