Relization

I finally realized that for me religion is unnecessary. I believe in god ( I think), but I do not believe in religions. I feel that they are just like cults. People following blindly through the thoughts of others. I feel that the two most powerful religions (Christianity and Islam) are not the work of god, but greedy men. These men want power so they make women's status less than theirs. They give reason to kill others in the name of a religion. If there is a god, I'm sure it did not want mankind to constantly kill each other and the earth. I believe that the golden rule is the ultimate way of life. Treat others how you want to be treated. Many people know this but they are blinded by greed. They want money, power, and success, but they feel the only way to achieve that is to manipulate others to their advantage. I can't do that because I genuinely care about others. America wants their people to feel that capitalism is the only way to a good life, but that simply is not true. We can share evenly and have a simple, happy life. It's not impossible. This is why I meditate because the things that happen around me I have no control of and I wish I did.
