text: As an agnostic, I am unpersuaded by all religions I have observed.  
  
  Doctrine, theology, religion, and catechisms are all men's inventions to control the gullible and the 'faithful' who fear both the world  of the present and death.
  
  Doesn't matter if it is the God Thor's Hammer causing thunder and lightning or the transubstantiation of wafers and wine to "become, in reality, the physical Body and Blood of Jesus the Christ."  Papal infallibility?  The Rapture? Native American peyote?  Aztec human sacrifice?  Female genital mutilation? Burning in Hell for all eternity?  The "Qur'anic text which describe a sensual Paradise where believing men are rewarded by being wed to 72  virgins with "full grown", "swelling" or "pear-shaped" breasts."
  
  All those I find to be nothing but control issues by power mongers.
  
  The bigotry I see is 'mainstream' 'religious' types and non-believers who try to label so many other faiths as 'cults' or otherwise unacceptable due to their beliefs.
