Love It Or Hate It…
Religion.
It’s a terribly loaded word that brings to mind all sorts of things to all sorts of people. Some people may see religion as a Mother Theresa devoting her life to India’s most impoverished. Or as the guy down the street that helps you wrangle the dog when he runs out of your yard. Or like the camp counselor that they had growing up that was just unbelievably… cool.
But – let’s be honest. A lot, if not most, of people don’t see religion that way.
They may see it as perpetrators or so-called “holy wars.” Or as science-hating, gay-bashing, non-drinking, right wing, hypocrites who would rather spend their time telling other people how to live than helping pull their community out of poverty and hunger.
Yeah, there are those people. People that think religion is great. People that think it’s terrible.
So, we want to know what you think about religion. We want to know how you feel about it. We want to hear your stories about it.
Is religion really a force for good in the world? Or does religion have its foot on the throat of people who simply don’t share the same worldview?
Does Jesus really hate religion? Or just religious people?
How do you define religion, anyways?
So, tell us what you think. What is it about religion that you hate? What gets you angry enough to yell? What disappoints you about religion? Is there anything anyone is doing that gives you hope about religion?
Let us know. We’d love to hear from you.
