What do I want to say?

***

I want to say:

1. About religion in general:

- Religion does not have a supernatural origin; religion is only a natural phenomenon created and expanded by human's needs.

- Religion does not belong to an "untouchable" realm; religion should be discussed at in a relaxed manner like any other physio-psychological and social phenomena.

2. About monotheistic religions:

- God is only a man-made product. The Bible and the Koran are also man-made products.

- Religion is not the source or foundation for morality. Moral values found in the Bible and Koran's teaching are already in existence innately in human. Human does not need religions to be able to live a moral life.

- Many teachings in the Bible and the Koran reflect the moral and social views of a dark, turbulent and unsophisticated time in human history; these teachings can only be seen as immoral when compared to today moral standards.

- Many believers are willing to use these immoral teachings for their personal views and personal gains. Many of these personal views have harmful affects directly to our lives.

- Remaining silent even though not accepting these immoral teachings contributes to preserving them, and therefore unintentionally giving extremists opportunities to use them for harmful activities.

- A vast number of monotheistic religion believers are in fact "modified-believers". The belief that they think they subscribe to has been substantially modified by themselves in order to suit their own personal thinking and moral standards. For example, they consider many teachings in the "source" religion “not suitable” and therefore do not practice or accept them. When doing that, in my opinion, they are no longer “real” believers of that religion.
