Religion
Even as a high school kid, I've always pondered about religion. I'm fascinated by its iron-grip over the population's hearts and minds. What an ingenious way to control people. Even if God never existed, some genius would have to invent him - if only to craft a fiction called religion. I define religion as weaponized spirituality - do anything in the name of your God and you can slaughter a population, plunder a city and colonize a country and enslave its people. Why do people buy this narrative that a middleman (clever men of the cloth) must liaise between you and your omnipotent/omnipresent God? That never made sense. I guess I can say that I am spiritual but not religious. The time I become religious is the time I give up critical thinking.
