Peter's Viewpoint

In the year of our Lord, 2009 oops which Lord?

We have learned about the Crusaders and the Holocaust and yet we still have fanatical religions controlling people and inciting hatred and violence because their "God", with whatever name he be called, is that which they believe is the true God.

Think about it.  If you believe in a "God" then how many are there?

Time has passed from the days that the church taught by fear rather than by intelligent socialogical means of people simply living in peace and yet we still see people following religious leaders blindly into acts of revolution, from one country to another to be with the "one" true religion.

We even have people joining "churches" as a method of business or social networking, then there are priests, presidents, and others that deny the Jewish Holocaust, and religions that want to sing or do without the interference of modern day progress.

If you are waiting for God or the Messia or Bouda or whoever you expect to come, do you really think that he or maybe she as some women might say is really going to come to a planet that prefers wars rather than progress or that prefers to have the extremely wealthy while others die from not having either the means to create food or simply something to eat?

Religion today is or has become an option for some people and in many cases continues to be replaced by money and wealth.  It is for some a peace of mind to believe that yes there is a higher being or power out there that will be waiting beyond the boundaries of this life while for others, the beyond does not exist.  Then again, for those who don't bother with religion or money, it maybe that they worship a different type of God.

Whatever your choice, make the decision for yourself rather than having another human being do it for you.
