I completely and totally agree with Bill Maker's. Religion is controlling everything, even when they are quit about it. Christianity is totally "in your face" in telling everyone had to live in every means of one's life. What confuses me, the United States of America has a "Freedom of Religion." Though they allow religion of all fronts cause more trouble then anything in USA history.
Does this mean that it is wrong to believe in something higher then we are as human beings? Faith and Spirituality is not the problem. In over a year of learning about the Wicca faith, I have learned more about myself and two very important aspect of life: humility and integrity. I learned more about these two important things in a shorter time then I ever could under Christianity. The reason why is that I did not follow any group or any person. I learned this from within my own personality, soul, and all the other important things in my life. Faith and Spirituality is what is all about. I strongly believe that faith and spirituality goes far beyond and organized religion.
If you and you alone cannot control your own faith and spirituality on your own, then how can you truly believe? In that, I believe that the ratio of the number of people on Earth to the number of faith/spirituality is 1:1. Each and everyone of us has our own unique faith system. There will be similarities, but it is a lot more different for another. That is how it should be. In the United States to truly have "Freedom of Religion" then I say it is non-constitutional to have any organized religion. How can their be more then one religion in the USA without having conflicts in our day-to-day lives.
Like I stated, "Christianity is constantly in our face." Christians go out of their way to tell others how they should live their lives. I ask, "Why are these people not arrested in breaking the 1st Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America." We all have freedom of speech, but when it violates others freedom of choice, then the act is illegal. Religion is allowed to break the law while the rest of us wants to simply live our lives under the Constitution of the United States of America.
As I am learning more of individual faith/spirituality, I have learned that I do not want to just to be a Wiccan or any one concept of faith, but to learn all to become a better me I can. I will gather all this information to create that special faith in my own personal life. In that, I cannot nor will not force others to live how I do. It would be a waist of my life to try. If I did try something to stupid, I would turn them away from their own wonderful experience in their own faith. I do not own anyone expect me. What right would I have to tell another how to think, believe, or whatever in life.
For parenthood, there is a big difference, but even parents have to be careful of how they use their authorities on their children. Parents are responsible for their own children, but they do not own them as a television, kitchen table, etc. Training is the issue behind parental authority, ONLY! Just the same, all religious members thinks they have authority over everyone in life. This is not true at all. Why are these people allowed to do so under the law of the land in the USA? Once law enforcers abide by protecting others from all religious attacks, then can we put a hold on this situation.
When we can live for our own lives, then can we truly live within our own faith/spirituality. Life is hard enough to live just for ourselves. Why would we want to live for others? We all have the freedom to live under humanity the way we want to. More so in the USA. Our government has turned coward in not defending the under dog of any religious attack from any person or organization.
