    My thoughts on organized religion and god are as such:

    I am a student of all religions, not a follower of one.

    I do not believe that one of said gods is the ONLY god. How could you come to that conclusion? There are so many religions, and so many different ideas, but yet one can't gain more validity than the next.

    So, instead of wasting my time trying to choose which one I liked the best and felt the most "truthful", I felt it was best to take in all people ideas, all religions theories, all of the worlds views whether it be Buddist, Christian, Hindu, Shinto whatever, and synthesize them to form the best ideas I can.

    I also feel that basing the way I live my life off one single book and the things it teaches is inappropriate, and foolish. History is written by the victors. As an example, the Bible, is a collection of writings written by some old men that lived thousands of years ago. Why should I base my entire life off of these books? These stories are the opinions of the authors, and the authors only. For all we know, Jesus could have been a horrible person, and humans killed him because he was doing things that we unfair and bad, while the authors of the bible observed the situation differently, and wrote it in favour of Jesus.

    Its all about perspective.

    I feel studying just one religion is a mistake and is close-minded. You have to be open to everyone elses ideas and theories.

    If only the rest of the world thought in this manner, it would cause world peace.
