The latest victim is a french priest, murdered in his church by killers shouting “Allahu akbar!” Following such attacks, Muslim leaders assure us that, as Tariq Ramadan said after the Paris massacre, the murders are “a pure betrayal of our religion". After the shootings in Brussels, the leading Sunni university, AL-Azhar issued a statement saying, “These heinous crimes violate the tolerant teachings of Islam”. The Church started killing unbelievers as early as the 4th century. The killing (often with torture) of heretics, church splinter groups, dissenters, atheists, agnostics, deists, pagans, infidels, and unbelievers was supported by almost all mainstream Christian theology for over a thousand years, starting with the intolerant St Augustine (died 430 AD).

For as long has history itself could remember Religion as always been associated with violence I knew hatred might seem like such a strong word to use seeing that most people can't tell the difference between having blind devotion towards a sect (religion) and having a personal and intimate relationship with God. Most people say religion is as old as God to those who believe that you are entitled to your own opinion. We live in a world filled with so many limitations opposing us, that not enough the so called religions who are supposedly the bearer of good news or carrier of peace are most times the backbone of most violence. Spiritual emptiness is a universal disease that everyone suffers from. While the cure for it does not lie within a particular religious sect, there could be an argument that religion is important, and that without it there will be no way to God. To me, this is just empty excuses we make as humans to feel alright with the decision that we make when we know within us it's wrong.

Religion is all about getting and never giving back if they do it mostly for a reason. If they are mostly focused on the number of people they have in their sect, it's also one of the most prosperous business organization here on earth if I can say so, I guess I can since I just wrote it down. When I speak of religion I mean the whole lot from Christianity to Islam to the least popular. The funniest part is within some religious sect there is much disunity, for example, the religious sect Christianity have so many denominations its hard to keep track of them and they all have a different belief. They all use one book the Bible but all have a different way of interpreting it to suit themselves, so many Fanatics are religious people.

Religion should stop being materialistic and focus on the most important issue which is unifying people from different background together. No matter what we all call God in our different religious sect we all refer to one supreme being which we all claim to love, so why can't they be unity. Most people are more catholic, baptist, Anglican, protestant or Islamist than they have more personal relationship with God.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
