I'm not religious, but I think that they're stupid not to accept gay priests.

Isn't God supposed to love everyone, and show no prejudice?

Most of the "rules" from the bible are severely out-dated now anyway...I read about some recently:

Any man and/or woman having sex out of wed-lock should be stoned to death.

Women should not have a higher position than men.

Women should not be teachers.

...and so forth.


People who follow religion do so partially out of fear and ignorance. Imagine if there wasn't a magical book full of old, out-dated rules. We'd have to think for ourselves and create rules that apply to our modern society wouldn't we, and that would be way to difficult.

I suppose it isn't everyones fault, as a lot of people are religious through upbrining; so they know no different than what they are told. Religion is brainwashing.

I was brought up to believe in God and the Bible, but I don't anymore, because as I've grown older, I've started to rationally question things, and personally can't believe religion. Nor can I believe why anyone else follows it.
