The Problem................

The problem, or at least one of the problems, one of the many problems, that I have with religion, or rather, those who practice it, any of it, all of it, is that they choose a set of beliefs, they choose a way to look at the world, and a way to live their lives, a way to view others and to judge them, and they are proud of these choices and yet at the same time they would have you believe that there was no choice, they would have you believe that they were forced, that there was a gun to their head ............ the gun of god. Isn’t that oh so very convenient all your choices made for you, and a ready excuse for every nasty little opinion you have in your head; none the less, its lie, these were their choices no one else could have made them for them and ultimately life is full of them, life is full of choices, in fact its life is made of them, and when you deny your choices, even if its the just one of them, you deny life itself.
