Is this what religious beliefs can look like, but rarely do? This little boy wanted to talk to God; then this happened.
Has the politicization of God and religions undermined the potential benefits societies can accrue when principles rule instead of politics?
Call me naive, many have, but i've often asked myself whether it's religions which are the problem? Or is it humanity's ability to pervert and compromise almost anything for the sake of greed and entitlement?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Religion just like anything else was pure in its conception but once humans with they’re list for greed and power got a hold of it well just like everything else it became corrupt.
And once they learned that as long as you keep them dumbed down and cast off those who challenge them and their authority as sinners.
Well it’s a con man’s recipe book. But take from it what you will that’s why we’re the intelligent ones we should be able to see things for what they were, are and possibly will be.

this is not what religious beliefs can look like. this is what propagandizing people being nice to each other to turn it into pseudo-religion looks like.
there is no "THE" problem. there are many problems. people who want to foist their religions on other people are one of the problems. people who want to use the religious naivety of others for their own purposes is the problem. humanity CAN pervert anything and compromise anything, but that doesn't mean there is a god, or that religion is anything but superstition plus. religion does not equal principles. we're a website of mostly atheists and agnostics and most of us have principles. we didn't need religion to get them.
