The great cult

The greatest cult is religion... There are to many people with to many conflicting views to ever agree on one way of life or one god. But there is an obvious pattern in all religions that links them. It's the subtle differences in them, that seem a little insignificant in the grand scheme that cause the most friction. How do you know who's right, who's wrong and on what grounds can you denounce another persons religious beliefs? Then our religion depends on what we are taught, and we are taught not to question it. We are then ignorant to others beliefs and why they have those beliefs and we are unconcerned since we are taught not to question our beliefs. Cult doesn't necessarily mean bad but by definition that is exactly what I've just described. Religion is one big cult with different leaders and texts, conflicting ways and views of worship and everyone is fighting the battle to be right. People are at war with each other to prove who is right and who is wrong. They want everyone to worship the right god and live the right way. But we can't prove or disprove any god so how do we know which of the currently absent great creators is the right god with our best interest in mind? Picking the right god would be like winning the lottery and that's to say you even get a choice in the first place. I don't have religious beliefs but I have some spiritual views. You will never hear me discuss any of them in any kind of detail though. This is because we live on a planet with many other people with many other sometimes opposing views. If you're so sure your beliefs are true and they get you through life then why does it even matter if anyone else agrees? Just live your life, love, be happy and don't worry so much about the things you can't change or fix. You're here now, take advantage of this...
