I know religion is a very sensitive issue, but I really want to talk about it. I used to be an atheist, but now I just don't believe any religion, and I have respect to every religion. I believe religion itself can do many things - inspiring people, changing them, leading them to good. However I dislike people who use the name to their own benefits. For example, in Korea, there are very many churches, and many rectors are more interested in fancy cars than their religion.
And I dislike people so one-sided that they cannot blend with other religions. The purpose of religion is to achieve enlightment, not to follow every line it teaches. Chang Tzu said, "Word is like a net. We use net to catch the fish. After we catch the fish, we forget the net. Word is a mean to communicate meaning. If meaning is understood, word itself should be forgotten." The Bible is a good book. The Coran is a good book. Buddhism has great textbooks. However, believing every word, obeying every line is proposterous. As some character in some book stated(I cannot remember), the Bible on the next page completely contradicts the last. This is just a quote, and I do believe the Bible has great significance in it. However, if one wants to make something out of a religion, if one expects to live a meaningful life, one should not follow every line in it. The purpose of a religion is not to kill and slaughter everybody else who believes otherwise. If so, religion was used only a tool to war.
I'm sorry. It seems that I criticized Christianity so much. I like and respect Christians. Okay, and here's my CR. "What is your religion? And how can your belief be justified? What do you believe about other religions?" It simply means "state your opinion about religion."
I will introduce some videos. They are made by atheists and I found them quite interesting. I am not an atheist myself, by the way.
