My take on religion is I hate religion, organized religion that is...
I was brought up very religious and then I found the hypocracy of the religion...
VOW OF POVERTY: Sure while the Vatican sits on a mound of valuable artworks and other treasures others are starving.
A friend of mine went to three differnet churches after having gone on a mission in Mexico. He asked the parishes if he could talk and maybe take up a second collection for the village he visited and knowing they may think he was gonna swipe the money he told them the info of the priest he was witht there (whom they already knew). None allowed it instead two of the three he asked instead took up asecond collection for some million dollar artwork (literally ONE MILLION DOLLARS) they wanted to purchase for the vestibule!
I am very spiritual just hate the oraganized religions although I have seen many individuals and the Church itself do some good work... the hypocracy overwhelms....
Not to mention one day while being taught in a seventh grade Catholic School a teacher informed the class that she believed all gays and lesbians should be put on an island and blown up! Love thy neighbor eh? When I told my parents (recognizing the insanity of this even at a young age) they said she was entitled to her opinion!
BACK TO THE QUESTION AT HAND
No I would not although many use the "word of God" to benefit themselves I would not tell others whose faith in God helps them through every day of pain and misery that their savor does not really exist and that this shit life they've had is all they got.
