Aww, thank you.

Delusion goes a long way, I guess. They think they know best, but in reality...they're just completely blinded to their own ugly side. I guess it's sort of like having cancer but not knowing about it because it's growing inside of the body where they can't see it.

I'm not entire sure of my facts so I apologize in advance if I get some of them wrong; I've heard that some religions are attempting to change their ways to be more 'modern', such as Buddhist monks introducing rap into their scriptures/lectures/whatever the proper word for 'spreading the gospel' is. There's also the 'fake meat' for people who are into Buddhism but are having trouble keeping to the vegetarian diet, etc. I forget where I heard this but I think the previous Pope had encouraged the use of condoms? Where they were previously completely and vehemently against birth control. I'm personally keeping my fingers crossed for the day when they cease to view homosexuals as unnatural and abominable.

I find it hilarious (well, okay, maybe not hilarious, but somewhat amusing) that some of the religious devotees are so sticklers to their rules, but find all sorts of ways to find loopholes in them at the same time. Like how Buddhist monks are to abstain from having sex according to the rules, but according to the rules, it was only forbidden to have sex with women, so they went and had sex with men instead. It's like wtf.

Religion is definitely not the root of all evil. Personally I don't think there is a such thing as 'good' or 'evil', considering it's just what we think that is supposed to be considered good or evil, when in the natural world there is just instinct and desire. Like we think it's evil to kill another person, but it's a perfectly natural occurrence in the animal world when it comes to upholding one's position in a pack or for survival or something. We set up the concept of good and evil so there would be rules and guidelines to keep everyone in order to have an order and stableness to our lives and not complete chaos.
