Diary of A Mad Brown Girl

ok.this is my first time "blogging"….wanted to start writing a while back but didnt know how or what to write.however,lately ive been reflecting on a topic that has been forever turning in my mind.i know it might sound over-rated but i was thinking about religion.yes.the age long question…..do we actually need religion? do i need a religion?im quite sure i dont….lets think about this…..what is religion?what do we actually know about religion? where do we get our information about religion from?we get knowledge of religion from the various religious books that are available…these are all tabulated and recorded by the hand of man.i dont mean to sound blasphemous but its true isnt it? in the "olden" days there was no hint of any kind of technology so it was all hand written.furthermore,the information written was passed down by word of mouth…so how accurate the information taken down would be anybody’s guess. this is how i feel but as i write this i cant help but feel a tugging at my conscience.that is nature versus nurture.i was brought up to believe that i should not doubt the word of the bible or the quran(i was brought up with two different religions in my household)which was quite confusing to me coz both books have similar yet some contrasting information.i decided as a teenager not to follow any particular religion because i came to the conclusion that it was the case of-to each his own.every religion has their own set of rules and their own set of beliefs.basically all religions teach you discipline so that you would follow the "right path" and be a good person.it doesnt necessarily mean that if you dont have a religion you are automatically a bad person..sadly this is the misconception alot of people have.
