I do not mean to offend any religious people, but the truth is, religion sucks. Look at the world around us. Different religions have fought because they all belive that the life they live is controlled by a certain immortal being, like the Ancient Greek Gods, or there was a baby born millenia ago named Jesus that was named God because he was special [I'm not saying these are accurate, I'm simply trying to make my point, so please do not say anything about how inaccurate these are]. It's begun to turn humans against each other. Iraq stirred up a war because they belive that they should have one ruler, a dictator, and that he controls everything they do because it is for the best. That's religion, no matter which way you look at it.

All the wars have been started because people think that other people with a different religion think of the world around us the wrong way, also know as 'differently'. Religion has caused us so many problems. If every were to just belive one thing, the same exact thing, would it be for better, or for worse? That's your choice, but I'm going to say my opinion loud and clear:

Religion Sucks.

...Thanks, Chris :D That was unexpected :P

By the way, books just arrived! I'm already 100 pages into One Man's Quest to Conquer the Seven Summits. The books are pretty sweet.
