Religion is a man-made system of man-made rules, activities, traditions, morality, and dogma placed on top of, in addition to, or in place of revealed truth.
Religion is a system used to judge those who are not in compliance with it, and to empower those who make it their profession. Religion is used by those in power to mentally, emotionally, intellectually, and/or physically control others.
Religion is rooted in pride and self-delusion. The more religious you are, the less likely it is that you will go to Heaven.

Jesus of Nazareth was not religious. His messages challenged, confronted, and refuted the religious leaders of His day.
When Jesus was on earth, the only people He had a problem with were religious. The people who conspired to have Him executed were religious.
I am not religious.
I am only interested in one thing – understanding and revealing truth.
And if the Judaeo-Christian philosophy is true, then it should conform to and reflect the philosophical and objective rules of truth.
I believe it does. This blog gives my reasons (unfortunately you’ll have to endure my derisive sense of humor as well).
