The Corruption of Religion
Riddle me this: what is the most sacred thing known to man, yet has the tendency to be the most evil, perverted object to ever to grace the thoughts of the human brain? If you read the title, then you've probably guessed it; religion. Ever since the dawn of mankind, we have looked up to the stars and wondered why we are here, and what the purpose of it all is. This curiosity developed into religions, some religions believe that one supreme being created us all, some believe in an assortment of diverse gods and idols, and some took it in whole other direction, in fact, there are so many religions, cults, sects, and divisions that it's become a parody of itself. Hundreds of thousands of people have had there lives saved in the name of Allah or God or Zeus or whom ever but millions of people have been slaughtered in their names as well. Religion needs to go back to its roots, before man corrupts it to the point where it will become almost a sin to follow it.
Before I go any farther, I would like to take the time to point out that I am not a religion basher; in fact, I've gone to church almost every Sunday since I was a very small child. The fact of the matter is, there is a crisis going on in the church itself. Everybody is taking everything for granted and it is sad to see. How many people have been turned away from the church because of the hypocrisy the church has committed, there's always something going on behind closed doors and it's hardly good anymore...
