85. Your post exemplifies my problem with religion |

Although I tend to be of a live and let live mentality, I still can't stand organized religion. What IF that "judgment day" never comes? What IF you and other believers are wrong, and this earthly life is all we have? What IF we insisted the injustices be righted right here and now rather than in some otherworldy promised paradise for which there is no evidence of its existence?
Mainstream religion teaches its followers that the injustices of this world will be righted one day, so no harm no foul. And I have a huge problem with that.
