Questioning Religion
By Austin I. Weber
June 12, 2007

Religion has become the largest business in the world.  It receives money from annual dues, collection plates, tithing, church-owned property and businesses, government subsidies, donations and some concealed sources.  It has the greatest number of ‘customers’, many from cradle to grave, of any business.  It also has a monstrous number of ‘sales people’ (most of them unpaid) promoting its virtues.

All religions use the same ‘great’ promotional gimmick ever invented known as ‘Have Faith’.  This tends to retain a large clientèle and obtain new “customers.”

What is this ‘wonderful mystique’, ‘Have Faith,’ that promotes “devotion”?  Simply, it is
believing, without question, a person who says he or she knows all about religion and God and, at times, even speaks directly to him.  It is astounding how these people know what God thinks, what he wants us to do or not do, how billions of prayers will cure illness, make us rich, make us a better person, win wars against people praying to the same God, and on and on.

The world is not a kind place.  Humans struggle for an existence.  Religion promises (without proof) a wonderful future after death – so what do you have to lose?
