All in all, I'm glad that I gave it all up. As much as I miss my once friend, it isn't worth it to stick to something for someone else. So many people judge you for the choices that you make in life, but when it comes down to it, its completely unfair that they do. Whatever choice that you have to make, or had to make, was chosen for a reason, they cannot judge you for it.... because it's free will.
Our world is ruled by religion. Its true that if not for religion the world would likely be plauged by anarchy, simply because people are not completely honest, kind, loving etc etc etc. Do we need religion to keep our way of life in order?
The majority of people would define religion in the following way: Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Islam, Sikh, Hindu... these are all different religions.... and this is what wikipedia says "Most definitions attempt to find a balance somewhere between overly sharp definition and meaningless generalities"
You cannot DEFINE religion. - A set of laws that we follow, Devine or not... we all have our own religion, always controlled by some kind of outside source.
Everyone follows the rules of life, because you cannot deny it. We are born, live breathe, suffer, endure, give up, suffer, move on, suffer, make choices, endure, regret, cry, get sick, learn, make mistakes, grow. This is how every single life looks. Anywhere along the line insert Death and you have every life exsisting now, and every life that has existed in the past.... and as for god, if he's there... he must be laughing, because we keep believing bullshit.
as for the afterlife, ... its AFTER life.
