I did not want to reject religion as nonsense because life seemed to have no ultimate purpose without it, and most of the good people I knew were Christians.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.
I am persuaded that the chief reason why we do not enjoy religion is that we do not try to enjoy it.
I was unwilling to - without getting too philosophical about it - I was unwilling to structure my spirituality in the way that the church wanted me to structure it.
I did not set out to convert anyone to Christianity.
Religion enables us to ignore nothingness and get on with the jobs of life.
I don't like religion.
Scientology, Buddhism, the Kabbalah... if it makes people's lives better, and easier, then I'll do it. Why not? People scoffed at Christianity 2,000 years ago, didn't they?
I don't think that people accept the fact that life doesn't make sense. I think it makes people terribly uncomfortable. It seems like religion and myth were invented against that, trying to make sense out of it.
I wasn't looking for religion; I was looking for a world view.
I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality.
