Religion is something I've had an issue with since I was pretty young, too. It's still hard for me to grasp sometimes what a vast majority of people believe not only that God exists, but that he takes sides in wars and cares what you eat and who you have sex with.
I do actually believe that some higher something exists, but I'll always have an issue with people who pretend to know exactly what that something is and what he wants.
I think religion is one of the most important subjects that there is to discuss. It's a little strange how it's such a tabboo to ever even debate it. It's definitely been one of my favorite subjects to write about here.
Really enjoyed reading your thoughts here, Mary. You had me at George Carlin!
