I come from a religious family and I've grown to strongly dislike religion. It's used today as a way for people to excuse / validate their horrible actions. Yet, l can also see the true appeal of it, to treat others the way you want to be treated - the golden rule. But I don't know... God would also be too cruel to understand our reasons for ctb.
I'm an agnostic for this reason. It's not up to me to decide whether there is a bigger being judging us. I'll try to treat others with the love and dignity they deserve, and I'll hope that if there is a god up there, they'll judge me for who I am.
