Religion is not about others, it is about one's self.

Religion is not about truth, it is about certainty.

Religion is not about affirming life, it is about denying death.

Great post as usual, Loren!

Religion is not about partnership, it is about domination. 

Religion is not about participating, it is about submission. 

Religion is not about empowerment, it is about self-crucifixion. 

Religion is not about self-determination, it is about submitting. 

Religion is not about action, it is about yielding. 

Religion is not about thinking critically, it is about praying. 

Religion is not about thinking for oneself, it is about obeying. 

Religion is not about self-actualization, it is about turning the other cheek. 

Loren, you have done it again. A splendid exercise!

Religion is not about you; it is about me.

Religion is not about life; it is about the denial of death.

Religion is not about the conservation of morality; it is about excusing immorality.

Religion is not about history; it is about His story.

Religion is not about prophecy; it is about living in the past.

Religion is not about heaven or hell; it is about controlling others' actions using fear.

Religion is not about prayer; it is about carrying the childhood phase of having an imaginary friend into adulthood using socially acceptable means.

I could do this all night, but will stop here.  This has been fun Loren!

I just hope that the "crime scene" tape around the monument is neither a wish nor a prophecy!
