In all honesty, there are a lot of things in the world I don’t understand

Religion.. I have no idea how anyone in the world is okay with instilling their faith into a mystical figure that enforces rules to the game of life that set you up to fail. All of you that are contemplating that whole idea of resisting temptation & thus proving yourself, miss me with all that. If I put a bunch of stuff that you enjoy, or a bunch of stuff that pisses you off, scattered around you everywhere you went & told you you couldn’t indulge yourself in any way, shape or form or else judgment would be passed upon you & you’d go to “hell,” you’d tell me I was an asshole. Point blank, period. So, some ..Idolized figure can do that & people worship it? (Idolatry is madd unhealthy, btw.) Maybe it’s because of the pacification religion provides that it’s so widely accepted. So, maybe if in addition to carrying out the aforementioned task of temptation, I also provide “answers” to huge, everlastingly obscure questions such as the origin of the world or humanity. Does receiving & believing in entire theories from an unsubstantiated figure really give you any idea of how humanity came to be? Do you mean to tell me that.. You can’t even verify the legitimacy of this figure, but you can believe that humanity is here because of.. Whatever hearsay theory you heard about this figure’s actions? Qwhaatt? I’m just so confused.. Where is the strength in being able to exist without knowing? Clearly, religious people are okay without knowing whether what they believe in genuinely exists or when it will act.. Why not be equally as okay with just accepting the lack of answers when it comes to certain things? The scariest part is that most religious people don’t have even the slightest doubt in the existence &legitimacy of the very ideal in which they have instilled their every fiber of faith. Religion truly is “the opiate of the masses” (Karl Marx).
