Why Bother...

I have studied Judaism, Christianity and started Islam... It simply amazes me how people can read the religious texts for these religions then still prescribe to them...

Is humanity that desperate for a reason to exist that people look to religion as the be all and end all with little or no consideration towards common sense???

You have to love the idea that earth is only 6000 years old... It contradicts other written records from ancient history... Not to mention scientific factors...

All I want to see is humanity grow up and cast off the cloak of religion... We as a species can stand on our own 2 feet and advance beyond our wildest dreams if we allow ourselves...
