Religion, What do you think of it? Options

[HyPN0]

I got the idea for making this thread from Polygamy thread. I think this may be an intresting topic.

What do you think about religion(s)? Do you belive in any kind of gods? Christian God? Alah? Buddha? Or you don't have a religion at all?

If you do stick to your religion, tell us why. If you don't belive that there are such things as gods, again tell us why.
I hope that there won't be any flames or immature behavior. I have good faith in Chorrol.com community that there won't be any hard words, or simply dissrespect towards other opinions.

So, let's start shall we?

I just noticed I didn't state my own opinion!
How rude of me

Well, I don't belive in god (or gods) because of one simple reason: Injustice.

Some have too much, some have too little. Is that fair? Bible says that we're all god's children and we have equal rights. But we all know that modern society doesn't work that way.
Is it fair that Western Countryes have food and all the other goodies, and most people in Africa don't? Why does god allow that childeren die even if they didn't do anything wrong? People that were doing horible things in wars, why aren't they punished? Why are victims in wars not saved by god(s)?

Some people are born with an IQ of 150, and some are stuck with 50. Some people don't have arms or legs since they are born, why is that? Some live longer that other. Some are beautyful, but some are ugly. Why do some people suffer, but other people are happy?

Would god(s) allow this? I don't think so.
Also, Religion is not supported by facts. Just name me one proof of god's existance, and i will gladly start beliving in it.

Personally, I'm not sure what I believe in. Religion is a hard subject for me to speak about because I don't know what I believe, I have my own code that I live by built upon what I see to be right or wrong, not by what is written in a book. I believe that life begins to end, from the moment you are born you are simply here to die, what you do with your life is up to you.

At times I think that people are just a random occurance, simply here because the conditions of the planet allowed us to form and become alive. People are the only beings on earth conscious of their existance which somehow pushes me to believe that we have been placed here for some reason.

I don't know what to expect after death so I'm living my life for myself, right now.

Since I'll never know if there is life after death I'm living my life the best I can right now so that people will judge me by the fact that I was a good man. That's what I hope to accomplish with my life, not to be accepted into an afterlife but to be remembered as a good person by those who knew me in this world.

I'm glad to be able to express my thoughts on a subject like this here, there aren't many forums where people can have an intelligent discussion about religion without some jerk flaming or trying to convert them to their religion and for that I'm pleased to have this place.
