Religion and the mental downfall of Mankind: chapter 1

Religion and the mental downfall of mankind

Chapter 1: Introduction

Religion is expressed in our everyday languages, has sometimes cultivated wars, was an influential part of our country's history, and even fuels cultures such as the ancient Greeks. Religion also gives us something to believe in.

In most cases, religion is a good thing. However, a lot of religious followers are perhaps pushing those great faiths to their limits. I am not writing this essay from an atheist's point of view as I really do not follow a religion, but I do not believe myself to be an atheist. As a former follower of a somewhat Christian faith, because I do not know how to spell my mother's faith, I have always asked God for helpful advice and why he would let his followers kill others just to have them believe in him and his son.

I've begun to question my faith when I was never answered or have never gotten anything from God. I knew then that I do not need God, God helps those who truly need him, so I therefore, need not believe in him. I have seen how even small things can spark great religious controversies.

I have even found out that there is an unknown phenomenon in the Christian community called the "Gay Christian". Now, evangelist followers choose to have none of any homosexuality to interfere with their journeys to Heaven. I have seen on YouTube, comments on evangelists and other Christians saying how much they hate homosexuality, even in some cases, some said, they wanted to kill any homosexual human being that comes near them. How can this be accepted? Are these people truly those calm, good hearted people Christianity always brings up? Or are they losing their mentality? You decide that, my dear readers. From my observations on these negative thinkers, it would seem that they believe homosexuality to be some sort of a sin. Now I know my Christian sins, I know there are seven in all: Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Wrath, Sloth....and something else...I keep forgetting the other one. Please send me a comment detailing what that seventh sin is after reading this.

Back on track of things:

Most, if not, all evangelists hate gays, lesbians, or any other kind of sexuality other than complete heterosexual. I just find myself wondering how these people go about living their daily lives holding an unjustified and otherwise nonsensical grudge towards people who merely wish to mind their own businesses and raise families with the ones they love, even if that lover is someone of the same sex. Homosexuality is clearly not wrong. What is wrong is these people and how they conceive such a matter like this.

I could feel safe to say that this is just one sign of a mental decline in humanity and its religious devotions.

See you next chapter,

Yours truly

I've written the essay in large text on bold formatting in order to best copy my penmanship, which is sort of large and I always write my essays in black ink, with an erasable pen, of course.
