April 8, 2010.......Thoughts.

Shando and I had a great conversation today over lunch. We gave our views on religion and the misuse among today's society to further a political agenda or mind controlling dogma. Some of the points are listed below.

>religion has no place in a modern society. It allows people to live mindlessly, being told what to think and do. It allows society to be lazy.....and irresponsible.
>religion and politics here in the U.S. use each other to further the greed of the already rich and powerful.
>societies that still allow religion to be used as an excuse for war is archaic. Until we wake up and realize this, we are a society that will fail.
>schools need to teach that we must question everything. That critical thinking is needed and that being a mindless slave to consumerism and greed is shallow and futile in finding true happiness.
>we must move away from an individualistic society to that of a collective society....world wide.
>compassion should be first and foremost on the minds of everyone.
>understanding one another is better than just tolerance. Without understanding how can we know what is needed to correct all that is wrong within society.
