Hijacker - Introduction

Religion is The Great Hijacker Part 1 Introduction

In this series of short videos entitled Religion is the Great Hijacker, I am hoping to challenge you to think about human experience in a slightly different way from normal.

I'm doing this for three reasons:

1. I've come to the conclusion that on the one hand, religious experiences are far less religious than atheists normally argue and, on the other, that non-religious experiences are far more religious than religious people want to accept.
2. I've noticed an inaccurate and inconsistent polarisation of atheism and religion. This is largely because of an erroneous equation of scientific method with atheist thought. The latter equation is at best spurious and at worst actually self-defeating for the very cause of good old common sense for which atheists believe they are working.
3. I have become sickened by the fact that religion has hijacked everything of value in humanity. It's done this throughout time; it continues to do so to the present day and, unless we stop it in its tracks, it will continue to adapt itself over the following centuries so that its clerics can maintain their positions of privilege and control over the more vulnerable members of our species.

Bad things happen when people believe things without question.

@triftenC yeah. like thunderfoot said. "where there are people who exept absruties. there are people who can commit atrositys".

What sickens me about fundamentalist Christianity is the fact that they believe it's murder to allow a terminally ill patient with no hope of recovery to die with dignity, when the right thing to do is to end their pain and suffering by allowing them to die. Also, I support human surgical sterilization for people who shouldn't be having children either because they are mentally handicapped or because they are simply going to be abusive and irresponsible and not raise them properly.

my scripture also tells about the end of the world "one day, this earth will be changed with a different earth and [so will be] the heavens"

it also tells what will happen after that...

although it was revealed more than 1400 years ago....everything in it is up to date..and no changes have been made in it since its revealing!
