Think about it, how much of your world view had not been invented and practiced by other people befre you were born? I can tell you for sure that ALL of the stuff you're saying here is atheist copypasta.
Everybody says "be different" so people like you go along and shout "I am different" and it's just another fashionable herd mentality.
Cool, someone took the bait, figures it's really easy to upset or piss someone off in religious talk.

In my opinion the Bible is just a very dramatic book with great meanings into it - but people have manipulated it to their benefit.
Whatever happen to honesty aye?
Quite sure, one of the things The Holy Bible used to mention was that Jesus said himself, that you don't need to go to Church in order to believe. That would obviously be ripped out, for wealth and power.
One of the pomegranate of religions though I find, with religious extremist, is the Mayan Calendar crap and the Nostradamus predictions. It's even more ridiculous when people try to combine them. Didn't people say the world would end at the first second of the year 2000? I wonder what people thought of 1000 and 666. It's funny how people think that a digit in a Base10 math system will be the end of the world... now I wonder what people would do if we actually went off the Base16 Math as a standard.
People indulge in this so much, it becomes a self-prophecy, that they have created in there head, that this in what they believe is the prophecy. Some take it too far and act it out. The Holy Bible was nothing but a guidance in life, which drops back on the acronym of it. Sad though, that some people take it too far, as if it was the meaning of everything.
You don't need to be apart of an organization in order to believe. I wish it was more this way, sadly. Too much to ask for though.
It's like some of the things my friend told me... which is most likely obviously ripped off.
