Today many people call themselves religious, whether it be Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist etc...

But is it just me, or is claiming yourself as one of these religions a total hypocrisy?

People claim to be these religions, yet when it comes down to the scriptures people are making a complete mockery of them.

Especially in America, where I live, you have all these people claiming to be "good Christian people". I mean sure you may go to church and not be a terrible sinner- but everything about the american lifestyle is contradictory to Christianity. People go out and buy tons of clothes they don't need, big cars that cost and arm and a leg, and the envy that people have towards others.

We also claim to be a "Christian" nation- yet we support torture, the death penalty, and bail outs of fat cat corporate exec's who rape the world- all for their money. People walk past homeless people every day- and sure some will give them change, but does that really help? is that really generous? or are people trying to make themselves not feel guilty because they know they can actually do something?

You see followers of Islam skewing the scriptures and brain washing people into performing acts of terrorism, manipulating uneducated people in their home lands. Starting "Holy wars" with other nations because they offend their religion... etc...

I am not religious at all, but I have read scriptures and this is going on everywhere! I really don't mind religious people- religion is a good moral judge of character, but it seems like today that morality has been dismembered and raped into fitting in with what is current and relative to your situation.

How can you claim to be a believer in a religion when you only follow the rules you want?

The world is a disgusting place, and people today are just making it more disgusting by being selfish, greedy, and a hateful place to live.

To summarize- Do you think religion in the modern day has been altered to fit the shape of what people want it to be?

OK so once again I'm gonna ask a question on a VERY touchy subject. I seem to do this a lot lol. On one of my previous questions some people took it the wrong way so I'll state what I'm looking for on this one. I am stating my opinion and asking for yours. That's it. Ok with that being said on to the question.

Abortion today is a big thing. A lot of women are getting abortions to make up for a past mistake. But some women are getting numerous abortions which I think is a problem. I mean they are taking away lives. These kids have potential. What if they grew up to be something great? What if they cured cancer? What if they lead a nation to world peace? I mean the possibilities are endless. And yet they are robbed of their way to live. I do not think abortion is a good thing at all. So what do you guys think? Do you think abortion is an OK practice? If so what about women who abort multiple times? Let's keep this question as clean as possible. I understand debate but please let's not hate...
