God. This is all humans have ever worked for. God. Well, ok, first there was survival and all that, but after we've settled and could sustain ourselves. We wondered why are we here? What's the meaning of life? Well, it's to enjoy all the beauty of the natural Earth, right? Well, where did all this beauty come from? No answer. For all these mysteries we couldn't explain, and some we still can't explain, people have created some "god." Now we call him Jesus but others give him different names according to their beliefs. But who's right?
Where did "god" come from? Where is the proof that He exists among us, above us, or around us? What can we really say about him aside from the little coincidences in life that seem like miracle answers to our prayers? We pray and pray, but what is "Praying?" Praying is the act of bargaining with non-physical beings. Praying to ancestors, to gods, to the Elements, to the spirits of the world. Praying is wishing. And wishing can only get you so far in life. Miracles can happen; mysteries do develop around things we cannot explain. Someday, we may explain it.
I mean, once, we thought Gods made the weather come and go if we were good. Gods are adults' parents. Adults need someone to look up to too, just as kids do. And adults know very well you can't get something from nothing. So they pray-bargain.
Why do we fight? Why do we still have wars in such civilized times? Because someone somewhere believed their god told them so. Because god said to do something, it's the "right thing" to do, no matter how they achieve their goal. Why are we offended by attacks to a religion? Because it's the one thing we rely on. The one we can trust to show us the way. Religion in your heart and soul, and it's really you in a sense. You are the one who heard god, You are the one who wants something done, You are doing something in return for a miracle happening or some gift you mysteriously received. This is not god, but your own subconscious. It's who you trust. And if you can't trust yourself, you can't trust anyone. This is why people get defensive about religion. They need the security.
Even atheists have some security they look to. It may not be a god, or something to worship. But it is something, nonetheless. It maybe you wishing hard as you can to ace a test. It may be you thanking some invisible friend for your mother surviving surgery or cancer. It may even be you trying to find your way out of depression. No matter what, you have something you look to, talk to, confess and argue with, learn from, and so on.
Now what's my point in all this? Why just go attack every single person out there? Atheists and religious persons alike, we all need some constant invisible "friend" to keep us going in life. All I'm saying is, don't bring religion out into an argument or use religion to justify an action. Religion is the root cause of all that has ever gone awry in human history that we could control.
Plus science has taught us that everything happens for a reason. Now that's hard proof that "god" is in our heads and the unexplainable in life is just super science we haven't yet uncovered.
