Told a friend not to be too addicted to religions. Can be religious to practice any religion but don't get involved too much religious organizations. They are corrupt and messy. Wasting your time, energy and efforts trying to serve them, yet what you benefit is just only recovering in sicknesses and graduate from better schools. Overall it messes up your life as they mess up their own organizational internal affairs. I think you should re-use the time involving religious activity studying the Facebook, read all philosophies and literature, even attend course to upgrade your worldly knowledge. Religions are FREE of charge for anyone to practice and no need to bother too much in other affairs. But you must also spread the goodness of religions to help others! Religions should be Humanistic to serve people and not people serve them!
Think long ago Christian's Jesus and Buddha did not ask believers donate money, only asking them to look for food and shelter, and provide security to the founders, only the kings to donate. Now it is the opposite requires believers to take care the whole cost of operation though from very small percentage of their salaries. And today's religious problems and internal conflicts so much so troublesome, believers do not beg for their Jesus and Buddha's help instead making the whole world in chaos, what for? Practice alone won't have these troubles.
Long ago, no matter which religions the believers were more stupid having problems needed to seek the priests' guidance, as that time believers were lowly educated or no education, church and temple were the schools and centers of education. Now Internet is popular and easy to use, and you have libraries and bookstores to find out the answers. And some greedy religious persons buy these books to study the truth can form their own religious practice, the original priests serve no purpose? If you can find out answers yourselves, what for to have religions? Actually all religions are communication between the believers and their God or Buddha's powers, if praying for God's or Buddha's powers can act through self efforts, what for having all these unnecessary religious problems to trouble your lifestyles?
And some people think to practice religions in church or temple can relieve from suffering and achieve happiness. Singing though from your hearts but is only happiness from your external environments, as all believers singing together in unison to make the effect bigger so you think happiness is from the heaven or some mysterious nature. You want relief then is much better to achieve through self-realization by practicing your religions and strive hard to find out the truths. Only by looking for the truths will you get relief and achieve happiness in your hearts, this is then the best happiness from your internal life!! In Buddhism this highest realization is the Buddhahood.
