Kind of like how most teenagers rebel against their parents.
With age, some of you will get wiser. Others are just doomed to permanent wilful ignorance (Jason and Great68 etc.)

You're not serious, are you?
Religion is a system of control. By calling me ignorant, you assume I don't know about christianity.
Bitch, please. I did the sunday school thing, and at around 12 I realized that it was just a giant lie like Santa Claus was.
Look at the whole system and how it's setup. How it's been used over the last 2000 years. It's a giant system of control designed to keep you in line and obeying your masters. The amount of power sharing governments have had to do with the Church over the last 1000+ years should be a huge example as to how and why the Church operates. Nevermind the money involved as well...
The belief in god, sure, if someone wants to believe in a magical space daddy, that's fine. The evidence points towards an indifferent, uncaring god that has
no hand in day to day affairs of mortal beings.
Following religion, however, is far more damaging as it encourages us to hide our own hatred and prejudice behind scripture, and gives us a vehicle to condemn others.
I hope, someday, that RTS can free his heart and mind.
