Subject: Religion is whatever u want it to be.

Religion: a topic which both interests and bores me.

I consider that religion should be a personal thing. A conscious choice. Something not bludgeoned into one's head by rote, rite and repetition, nor by unreasoned illogic and faith (though I have no problem with reasoned faith).

I wonder why religions argue so much. The doctrines of most don't differ greatly - there's one god, you must worship him, worshipping any other god is evil. I don't think it says in any of their holy books, "This god is not the same one as mentioned in that other book".
Fair enough, arguing with those religions who really do differ, claiming no god or many gods. Though even that is questionable, the "one god" is supposed to be omnipotent, surely it could, then, act as many gods, or as nature, or whatever it feels like.

Carefully not straying into the realm of "holy books contradict themselves", which is heavily done elsewhere online and easily findable with a good search, I think it's far more significant that "holy men" contradict the "holy books" in far more significant ways. Warring is a pretty fine example. And breeding
