The "Why I Hate Religion" Controversy Explored

By John Kubicek

In a way, I'm not a big fan of the word, "religion." The word can mean so many different things to people. In fact, it's right up there with "politics." Both words lead to great debates just because the words both bring about different opinions, which lead to debate, which leads to arguments and the inability for all of us to just get along.

So now, we have another public debate regarding "religion" because of a certain viral video that brought a lot of attention to how some people regard Christianity. The crux of the matter is that it now seems that a person was able to get the subject of "religion" expressed in a way that stirred much debate.

The above videos were brought to my attention on THEBLAZE.com by the following stories:
