Religion is the cause of most of the World’s Wars and Conflicts, past & present, and continues to drive and feed into terrorism, war, and greed around the globe in the name of religious and personal / political beliefs.
Religion is a 100% man-made concept used to help people make sense of a world that is full of unknowns and “evil-doers”. The World was created billions of years ago, all starting with “the big bang”, or whatever caused matter to come into existence. I suppose you can call the producer of all this matter “God”, it’s not a person or a being; it’s a physics concept that we have yet to understand or comprehend. Someday we might find the answer to our existence, but it’s not due to a guy with a beard looking over us and creating each creature, creationism is a dying concept that will soon be forgotten. Realism will be the next “religion”, if humans are still around to ponder…
Some people can’t handle thinking about how insignificant the human race really is, and they think there must be a higher purpose for why we are here therefore turning to a certain religion to answer the unknown questions. In a couple million years when humans are long gone and proof of our civilization is melted deep beneath the Earth’s crust, maybe another species will think up a new and improved God to suit their needs. How do we know this already hasn’t happened three or four times in the Earth’s cycles of life and death? Ancient civilizations that existed 15,000-50,000 years ago with technology more advanced than ours currently. This could have happened many times in the past without anyone ever finding proof of its existence. (NOTE) If you are a creationist or extremely religious, your world clock only goes back around 4,000 years so trying to grasp any of these concepts here will be hard for you.
Until the people of the World unite as EARTHLINGS and act as responsible beings living on a fragile planet, we will be a very short-lived species known for our failure to survive amongst ourselves even for a short period of time. Humans are the Earth’s biggest threat ATM, much like a virus or nasty bacteria that keeps spreading; soon Earth will naturally eliminate these problems by cleansing itself and giving other species a chance to survive.
You might notice some grammatical error in the essay but that is because I didn’t edit it. This is her original ideas so decided to post it as is. She’s just 12 years old. Hope you enjoyed reading it.
