Have you found jesus? (and I'm not talking about spiderman 2)

Do you believe in god? I do, something I don't talk about very often but I believe he exists even though I don't think I'm his favorite; I think he watches over me. Sometimes I just see stuff and I go: "man it's really odd that I saw that now", and yet it wasn't. And even though I may be depressed and angry at the world or myself you can't but expeirience momments in your life that are full of pure beauty, I don't care if that sounds cheesy, because it's true. And when you're stuck in the middle of this momment sometimes my mind wonders off and says thanks.
One thing I will never believe in is religion, it might be the single most evil thing in this world. Thanks to religion we've had such great things such as 9/11. Face it religion is just capitalizing on peoples faith and may those who take advantage of them burn in hell.
I don't know what god is, or what he has in store for me; but what I do know is that anything that I know of god will come from my own experiences not from some guy in a white dress or a funny book that is filled with hundreds of years of ancient christian mythology. I believe that kind of relationship is far more healthier than people who run around asking for money and going on tv yelling "JESUS HATH HEALED YOU!!!!!" or those that would tell you that your gonna burn for not going to church every sunday.
I'll end this with a quote that I don't remember where it came from but it goes..."you might not believe in god, but he believe's in you..."

Holy crap man, I agree with you 100%. The things that get carried out for the sake of some religion, made by people, makes me sick. Sure, religions may have helped organize people way back in the day, but once we, as a species, figured out just how unimportant we are in the grand scheme of things, I think religion began the infamous role it now plays--the sustainer of people's uncalled for belief in their own rightness. Here's a quote from Aristotle to support my point.
"A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side." Aristotle
