Religion is a trap – muzi

One of my friends …
Well okay I’ll tell you his name
It’s Muzi Joint Heir Spirit …
Anyway he said something
really negative about religion.
Got me to wondering if maybe
we’re being too hard on it?
Doesn’t religion have good features too?
Doesn’t it spread the good word?
Doesn’t it do good things for communities?
Four honest questions –
Four honest answers: no no no & no.
Religion per se does nothing good.
It’s man-made, designed to control and extort.
Religion discourages honest cognition.
It makes people afraid to trust God.
Instilling a general milieu of
doubt, fear and complacency,
religion has as its inherent goal
to rule and punish its adherents
Forbidding genuine inquiry into the
unfortunate direction it’s headed.
So, I have to acknowledge categorically
that Muzi is right after all.
