- Conversation between Chris "Ludacris" Bridges and Larenz Tate in the hit movie, "Crash"

Religion is a big topic to face. It always has been and forever will be. But what is religion for. Is it all real, is it there to motivate ppl, or is it there to keep a certain order? That is for every single person to decide on his or her own. But let me tell you this: All religions can't be true.

This is what I believe. Religion is fake. None of it is real. It is nothing but stories and rules that were made to scare ppl into behaving his or her self. Especially Chistianity. The bible. The new and old testiment. All fake in order to keep order. The commandments, simply just "laws" made before Government existed. And all those lovely stories about killing ones own son and gathering every animal on a boat, simply stories that have morals to them and if are believed, them the commandments will be followed. The stories are really just a scare tactic. And what about Jesus? Well i think you could just call him the first recorded magician. An early early day Chris Angel. He tricked the people to make him a God. Most believed, but the few that didnt were smart enough to take advantage of this and take order. Who knows, maybe Jesus was in on it.

Now don't go believing what I say, unless you truly think I'm right. This is just what I believe, and i thought that I would share it with you. What i would like is for other ppl to reply to this and say what they believe in. There are many religions and beliefs out there, what is yours?

I am not positive if the Bible is filled with stories, but the main reason why I don't believe in Religion is because I disagree with some of the s**t that is in it. I believe there are contradictions throughout it all, which makes it uncapable to live by.

I agree. Christianity has so many contridictions in it. Like it says that God and Satan are two different people. Well, my question is, how can that be true? God is supposed to the Ultimate and pure good, and Satan is supposed to be the ultimate and pure evil. Well, all humans are comprised of both of these. If God created us in hos own image, then how did we become to have an evil side?

That's how humans are. They think they're right, they disrespect other people's opinions-- which leads to harrassment, murder, etc.

Quite frankly, if everybody would just practise what they preached then they wouldn't have this problem.

You do have a point, but they'd probably tell you that it's because they ruined that said purity. When Adam and Eve sinned, I guess you could say the "evil" of the human came out.

yeah something to believe in thats all you really need I guess.

You have to remember that the Bible says Satan was once an Angel of God. He was cast out of Heaven because he thought he was "more powerful" than God, and questioned God's authority.
