How To: Religion

My thoughts on religion have changed quite dramatically over the past couple of months, which Is both a good thing and somewhat a bad thing for me. I’ve come to one revelation though, that most modern day religions preach more an ideal of isolation and a means of differentiation (since it would help people strengthen their beliefs to not be exposed to external influence), rather then a ideal of acceptance of people. Now I’m all for being on the “winning side” and all but really what kind of game is being played here?
I now realize that if you wish to become a religious man you must learn to become a peaceful and humane person first, because you may never know what your creator looks like or is, but you can be damn sure he wanted us to be a peaceable culture, and not use his word to justify murder or to use as a difference from people. Religion is twisted, taught subjectively and selectively, and preached in the way that appeals the masses, and when you learn religion you will learn it the way it is meant to be viewed by the teacher. Unless you’re a Satanist (in which case you’re out of luck) then learn to be good compassionate and “nice” people before you chase god.
