A while back, my cousin posted this on Facebook. We have the same views on religion, hopefully this opens some eyes.

Religion is a system that causes division in humanity. Besides from the fact that it is responsible for countless wars, and hate crimes; it is what it does in the mind of an individual which is the most destructive. Religion brings people back to the ego mindset of the "US vs. Them", "We are RIGHT, They are WRONG", "God is with Us, He is not with THEM", "We are REAL, They are FAKE". etc..etc... Religion is ego at its finest POSING as true love.

One young lady in particular asked me this simple question: "What's up with this Death2Religion thing you're always talking about? I see its making a lot of people mad but I'm curious." I've decided to answer the question on my wall, being that I know she is not the only one curious.

So, why Death2Religion? Why not Death2Evil or Death2WorldHunger or something a lot less controversial? Well my answer is rather simple and will hopefully bring everyone to a greater understanding.

I believe in humanity as a whole. I do not believe in "us verses them" or "Big I's and Little You's" etc. I believe when you see your neighbor, you see yourself, and by neighbor I mean EVERYONE, excluding No One. Once we all put an END to our OWN selfishness and our own EGO, everything perceived in this world as evil will begin to diminish right before our eyes.

Lets take a look at the issue of world hunger and examine it. Lets just be real for a moment, not judging anyone at all. Lets look at the condition of the world from an outsiders point of view. In America alone there are roughly 11million people starving to death while 36million other people have no idea where their next meal is coming from. Now stop for a moment and ponder on that statistic through the mindset of ONENESS. Ask yourself what is it REALLY that makes someone want to own, and brag about owning, 8 Rolls Royce Phantom's, or a 2000 dollar purse. What is it REALLY that makes a man kill another man over a pair of 200 dollar basketball shoes? How can some have enough money for 50 lifetimes while other don't have enough for one? What makes someone spend 400,000 dollars on a chain and charm? What real purpose does any of it serve besides to feed the ego? It only feeds the same ego that is responsible for the destructive condition of the world, the same ego we have all been conditioned to serve.

Imagine if EVERYONE were dead to their own ego's and viewed everyone the same. Imagine viewing everyone the way you view yourself. There would be no one better, and no one worse. There would be no such thing as evil; only people who are not yet dead to their ego's. All wealth would be evenly distributed, no one starving, and no one lacking. No one would be on a mission to prove they are better or more deserving than anyone else. There would be complete Love and complete Unity; a literal Heaven right here on Earth.

Once a person breaks free of the lie and dies to their ego(who they think they are), they are free to be their true selves. Only then do you ever truly begin to live. You are now free to BE love. But....You do not break free to keep it to yourself. Love naturally gives. Love gives without ever expecting ANYTHING in return. It gives itself freely with no hidden agendas or alternative motives. There is nothing you can do bad enough to make this love, love you any less. There is nothing you can do good enough to make it love you any more. Love desires this same freedom for everyone and this same unity for all humanity. So in love's quest to unify humanity he runs into his biggest opposition: Religion.

Religion is a system that causes division in humanity. Besides from the fact that it is responsible for countless wars, and hate crimes; it is what it does in the mind of an individual which is the most destructive. Religion brings people back to the ego mindset of the "US vs. Them", "We are RIGHT, They are WRONG", "God is with Us, He is not with THEM", "We are REAL, They are FAKE". etc..etc... Religion is ego at its finest POSING as true love.

True love is unconditional and removes even the thought of punishment. Watch what happens when you go against what they believe. What happens to all of their love and acceptance when they find out that you are living a gay lifestyle, or they find out that you believe differently than them? The list goes on... You see the truth is, there is NO FEAR in love, but religion is rooted in fear. They use fear tactics to control people so they can keep their "gang" stronger. The more people, the more money, the more money, the stronger the gang. So before you know it, instead of you giving to people who have less than you, and are in more need than you, you are giving your money to a religious system who has convinced you that giving to THEM means giving to God. They warn you of the consequences of not giving them money by using fear tactics (once again). So now just like in the WORLD, there are exceedingly rich people AND people starving... in the religious system there are people who live like kings by eating from the plates of others that are barely keeping their electricity on. It is fueled by just as much EGO and FEAR as the worlds system. You have ONE man as the superstar, and everyone else PUSHES that ONE mans vision and makes that ONE man and his team rich while ALL of the people under them are conditioned to be afraid to think for themselves because they are threatened by the punishment of eternal hell fire or are told that God wont bless them. So now these brainwashed, fearful people, in-turn, judge and turn up their nose at those who are not controlled by that same fear. It is EGO at its finest. And now when they reach out to "love" people, they carry with them the hidden agenda of wanting you come to THEIR building and hopefully join their gang which they tell you is one of the "best gangs" in the city. Have you noticed there is always a problem with every religion but theirs? And even worse, religions like Christianity are broken down in to THOUSANDS of mini sects called denominations which divide people even more. Baptists think Catholics are crazy, Catholics think Pentecostals are crazy, etc.. etc... the list goes ON.

Jesus never came to establish a religion or Christianity. He came to show people that we are ONE with each other and ONE with God, and he taught us how to live from THAT place....he taught us how to die to ourselves(ego) and live from the spirit(love) with NO FEAR. He spoke to us in parables so that people who live from their ego's will not understand, because carnal(ego) minded people take everything he spoke literal instead of interpreting it from the standpoint of LOVE (the spirit within). If love wouldn't do it, God would't it. It is that simple. God is LOVE and so are YOU. You do not need a book as a guide for living your life, because once you understand ONENESS and have come to the place where you are able to BE LOVE; your decisions and choices automatically line up with the spirit within, the same spirit that is one with God and one with humanity. For this reason I have the entire city mad at me. For this reason I say Love Wins and for this reason I still continue to live my my life loving ALL and bringing DEATH2RELIGION. Thanks for understanding.

I hope that I have opened some eyes here. God is not Religion. Don't worship the text, it's like a game of telephone. After hundreds of translations and also the added fear that was instilled in people way back when. You can no longer call any "holy" book The WORD of God.

MY God wouldn't send anybody to burn and be tortured in a place called hell. My God doesn't discriminate against sex, gender, race, religion, or any of that. We are all the same in his eyes. So free yourselves people. Stop living in fear of following the wrong religion, and worshipping the wrong way. Stop giving your money to churches and mosques and instead give it to charities and shelters. The world would be a much better place.

Any questions? Feel free to ask. If you disagree, tell me why.

    Well, you are definitely opening a can of worms here.

    I would just like to point out one thing: the oft-repeated ‘most wars are caused by religion’ mantra is simply not true ...

    Firstly, let’s deal with the popular fallacy that ‘most wars are caused by religion’. This is simply untrue. An academic study on the subject of the role of religion in 73 major conflicts over the past 3,500 years concluded that 60% of wars had no religious motivation whatsoever and only 4% were viewed as truly religious wars.

      Yeah I know. lol I thought about deleting the thread after I pressed submit, Only because I know this thread in itself, will probably start a war. Ha

      Even if Religion is not the main cause of war, there are other things that religions promote that are not God like. I just can't wrap my head around the fact that God discriminates against his creations, if you are gay supposedly, you will be punished for it when you die.

      I'm not knocking the books now, I'm not saying that the books are completely wrong. BUT, there is some wrong in those books. None of them are 100% true nor 100% the Word of God.
