I agree with Kinjo, we all are being flocked as sheep by our religions. All religions have some or the other mistakes, flaws, contradictions, use what word u want, but it is there in all religions.
I am Hindu, i studied a Bible in the Christian school i went to, i read quran from a friend, i read the Zoraster (Holy book of Parsises) in a library, & have read excrepts from various other so called 'Holy' books of other religions, all have mistakes, flaws & contradictions in them.
I am diguisted with all the shortcomings in the world & the religions & ppl who blindly believe it all.
I agree there are some stuff which i still believe even now, but still the concept of blindly beliving a (any or many) religion(s), is a thing of the past & i suggest & advice ppl to do the same.

And what kind of God we had if his religions promotes war, revenge, blood sacrifices, hate and fear? An eye for an eye? stone them to death? cut off his hand/head? lay low when you're weak then strike hard without mercy when you're strong? it is ok to make slave, rape woman (and children!) as your spoils of war? Then the new better testament come out and it is said to correct/compliment the old. WTF? A divine "God's" laws should not have the possibility of being misread, it should not confuse, it must be eternal by nature and its philosophies must be applicable to every situations.
Those words caught my attention. That is what most religions & ppl want & think like these days. Forgot these days, that is how they thought even more than a thousand years ago.
I was recently seeing the "Crusades: The Cresent & the Cross" program in History Channel, & it is painful to see that so many ppl fought, so many suffered in various ways, so many died, & for so many years they fought, but for what??
Both were promised the heaven by their religious & political leaders, but what did they really get?? I would really like to know what really happened to them.
As for the Heaven & Hell concept i still believe that they exist, but also believe strongly that life is heaven if u want it & hell if u want it, it means the life here is how u want it to be.
