There's been something bothering me for a long time. Do you remeber, when you were teached about first primitive human cultures? Do you remember what was written in almost every history book? About gods of those primitive cultures?
First people didn't know a lot. And whatever they didn't know, whatever they couldn't explain, they just told it was a god. We had then god for lightning, for raining, for floods, for good harvest, for bad harvest etc. And you were teached this like this is absolute foolproof truth. Then you could move to less primitive, but still enough primitive cultures. Like egyptians, greeks etc. They still had gods around, who protected them, punished them, rulled them. These primitive cultures builded pyramides(about which we still don't know, how did they build it->maybe they weren't as much primitive), collosseum and other buildings, that have lasted here for thousands years. Just take a look at that old house not so far from your home, builded by modern cultures. He's been there maybe about 50 years and it's almost so ruined as it's never been there.
Still when you learn about jews or about muslims, you are NEVER told, their God was developed by primitive people, who couldn't explain lightning, so they "created" a god in their mind. In fact, there are teachers saying, that "our" God (i mean.. I am from country with solid catholic tradition) created this world and that if we do something wrong, we go to hell. Lot of teachers use God as actual argument, when they preach a bad pupil.
It's really unfair, that children are teached, that egyptian gods are a mere human excuse for not knowing everything, however christian god, or muslim god, they're okey, noone will ever tell you, they are here just to explain, what we couldn't. But what does make a difference between christian god and egyptian gods? Why is christian god more probable to exist, than those gods from egypt, india, rome... Why is christian god never treated like fairy tale, while slavic gods are always treated like gentile in every history book?
When you face a christian, try to ask him. Try to get actual arguments from him, not just something like: It's obvious, that "our" God is the right one. You would be surprised, how this works on christians.

Create your own religion!
This is something wandering through my mind for some time. I'd really like to create new religion! Why? Isn't it obvious? To create a religion is one of the greatest moneymaking industry. All you have to do is feeding up people with bullshit. But then again, it's really not me speaking something so unrational, even God seems to be acceptable concept alongside that.
I'd really like to have some rational concept and I've been thinking about it.But it's just impossible. You can't fuse science and religion into one. Even if you really want to, there is no science in giving people hope or threatning them being punished after their death forever. The first thing is, they can't be punished after they are dead. I mean, there is no afterlife. So rational concept doesn't come into mind. It seems I'd have to make something more religious.
But this is a problem for me. I would have to act, like I believe such stupidity. And I would have to do that publicly. I would lose any hope of finding a girlfriend, because who would like to date such moron, right? Maybe another crazy moron female believing in my bullshit. But then again, would you like to have a normal relationship with someone stupid enough to believe obvious fairy tales of yours? I guess it is quite easy to find moronic girlfriend, if you are a leader of some church, though. You have power and there is strange aura about you. Or at least the others see it that way.
To create some new religion and be it's leader, it's quite of a responsible job. It's not only pushing bullshit to your followers heads, you have all of their hopes, fears, dreams (and not to forget all the money) in your hands. Feeling the weight of responsibility yet? Whatever you tell, they'll follow(some of them are sure to follow). So you just can't tell anything, because you could end up losing your members->therefore your money. What is worse, you could end up in jail, since if you would be blamed for founding a sect, in some laws you would be imprisoned. Now you definitely must feel the hardness of the deal.
But what is a religion? When can you tell, you've founded religion and when it is some comic fagotry? It's really not that hard. The only thing you have to think of is someone, or something to be the main cause of everything bad. People are not interested why good things happen to them. As long as they happen to them, they really don't care. What they care is, why is it them, who have to end up with the worst. Why they've lost their job, why has it been them to be robbed, raped, cheated, whatever. Why BAD things happen. Go and tell them: It's the Satan, it's the God, it's that unsympathetic dentist on the corner of your street. It could be even dark grass growing on Jupiter(even though there is no chance anything would grow on Jupiter). Really. It can be anything. As long as you say, what is the cause, it's okey. They'll have something to blame.
What your church is doing is getting rid of the evil, fighting the evil, fighting the bad things, that happen to people. Give examples of how your church is helping and do some help in reality.You'll have to put some money into it, but you'll get much more in the process. Give them hope. Tell, there is mighty being helping them. Maybe helping them through you. It could be yourself, if you are feeling up to it. Just tell them, the help is nearby. You would wonder, how many people would believe in whatever you are saying, because you'll tell them, they are not responsible for them being unsuccessfull, for their fails but on the other hand, you(or your religion) is the way to get better, to have hope, to end up in good situation. People only need to believe, that there is hope. There ultimatively doesn't have to be. They only need to believe that.
And that's what every religion does. It gives hope and it gets the main causer of our problems.
