Religion and Religious Type Concepts Thread

[Have at ye]

If religion has one theme it is this: Goodness requires you to be of no consequence, while those who are rich and powerful are always "evil". You can find that theme in every religion, even Buddhism to which I identify with most (not for it's religion, but for some observations it has made, especially in regards to Zen).

Friedrich Nietzsche says "hello".

I heartily recommend his "The Antichrist" if you've been pondering the above issue lately.

EDIT

Hmm, then again, you might want to read the Kybalion before diving straight into Nietzsche, makes him much easier to understand. I only learned this in retrospect.
