Religion... The options.

My Adobe Premiere is "kaput"... I have to do something about it therefore I can't make any video until I fix whatever the problem is... after that being said:

I find it quite interesting.

Some Holy Books: (just to name a few)
-The Holy Bible - (The word of the only one true God) -The Quran - (The word of the only one true God)
-The Talmud/Torah - (The word of the only one true God)
-The Rig Veda and the Naradeya Purana - (First is about eternal truths revealed Second describes the mechanics of the cosmos)
-The Avesta (includes the Yasna, the Gathas, the Disparad, the Yashts and the Vendidad.
-The Daodejing, the Zhuangzi and the the Daozang
Shall I continue? cos there are A LOT of them (not including texts from religions of the past now accepted as what they are, mythology )

-Some Christian denominations: (just to name a few)
Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Anglican , Protestants (includes Adventists, Anabaptists, Baptists, Congregationalists, Lutherans, Methodists, Pentecostals, Presbyterians, Reformed churches, and possibly others), Evangelic, The Assyrian Church of the East, Restorationism...
-Muslim denominations:
Main denominations: the Sunni and Shia, and less known: Kharijite. ( 3 major divisions: Dar al-Islam, Dar al-Harb and Dar al-Kufr. At least they dont have thousands of denominations, thank God for that)
-Some Jewish denominations:
Rabbinic Judaism, Orthodox Judaism, Conservative Judaism, Masorti Judaism, Hasidic Judaism, (Jews who rejected Hasidic were dubbed Mitnagdim (opponents) ) Reconstructionist Judaism, Humanistic Judaism, Progressive Judaism (Im not talking about METAL ok?)...

Now the gods part... just kidding, do you expect that I list here all the human gods? Are you f**king kidding me? Instead of that Ill give an example, so you can extrapolate to all places and different times. We all know more or less what is all about each other therefore I find quite explanatory and inspiring to summarize something probably less known (if you dont get what want to do by putting what follows, honestly, just quit)

- AFRICAN DEITYS: (just to name a few)
Waaq - Single supreme and universal deity.
Ngai - Supreme God, lives on the holy mountain Kirinyaga.
Musikavanhu - "The Creator"
Akan: Brekyirihunuade, "he who knows and sees everything."
-Ashanti: Anansi, Asase Ya, Nyame
-Dahomey: Agé, Ayaba, Da, Gbadu, Gleti, Gu, Lisa, Loko,
-Igbo: Aha Njoku, Ala, Amadioha.
-Khoikhoi: Gamab, Heitsi-eibib, Tsui'goab
-Lugbara: Adroa, Adroanzi
-Pygmy: Arebati, Khonvoum, Tore.
-Yoruba: Eshu- messenger between human and divine, god of
crossroads
Nana - female deity of creation, sky mother.
Obatala - father of orishas and humankind
Olorun - creator of the universe, sky father
Oya - warrior goddess of wind, hurricanes, and underworld gates
Osun - ruler of the head, Ori
etc
..GET THE POINT?...
(it doesnt matter if you believe in 1 god or 25, ok? Numbers doesnt makes you right )

Thousands of gods; and I have to choose amongst 1 or some of them (polytheistic)? Frankly I wouldnt bet on that horse, it seems to me that the chances to choose the right one amongst all are too low instead of that I choose option: NONE OF THE ABOVE. My chances are at least 50-50. What do you think? Its up to you.

I think its time to leave mythology and superstition where it belongs. You can keep your spirituality and believe what you want I dont care BUT dont push your beliefs into others or be accomplice of what others of the same faith and/or the institution that represents you do by remaining silent. Even if you dont agree with something done based on religion most theists dont say a word about it, we do, and we are the bad guys? Just believe what you want but mind your business (it doesn't mean I can't debate religion if I want to because it's just debate religion) because if not and we are affected by someone else beliefs then we are not going to mind our business either, in other words: were not going to STFU.
