I love watching bad shows on TLC. I also love money, though it is hard to come by. And I like peach juice.
I hate Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister because they've turned everyone into a bunch of mindless sheep. I also hate the colour neon orange and overripe bananas.

Hi, I was wondering what the buddhist bible was called... I've searched on Google but it doesn't come up... please help me I really want to read it! (link)

It's called the Teaching of Buddha. I myself have a copy. Good book, very good book.

In my opinion, religion was created to:
a) make people feel better about things like dying, poverty, disease, etc. (It's all in God's plan.)
b) keep the masses under control. (Don't be bad, or you'll burn in Hell!)
c) keep troubling things from happening (Don't give into natural urges and make babies before you marry or you'll burn in Hell!)
d) keep people from getting too curious about opposing the daily way of life. (If the religious leader tells you to do it, you must or you'll burn in Hell!)
Organied religion has kept many intelligent people from asking questions that may throw off our way of life. For example, whenever something bad happens, Christians reassure themselves with "it's all in God's plan." Was the Holocaust in God's plan? Were the millions and millions of starving and homeless people part of God's plan? Was it in God's plan for Gandhi and Abraham Lincoln to get assassinated? If so, I would never want to believe in a God that made such terrible things happen.
Christians live their lives with so many guidelines that they do not have total freedom to be and do what they want. I just find it foolish to let yourself be controlled by some being that you can't see. Christians live their lives so they can enter heaven. Non-religious people live their lives to the fullest, not knowing what lies ahead.
Sorry if I offended anyone, it's just my opinion.
haha well well umm your wrong in your opinion because none of those things are facts no where does it state in the bible that you have to be a christian cause it doesnt theres more than one types of christianaty too yes everything as you say is gods plan or you may also hear everything happens for a reason for instants why were you born do you know well no one knows all they know is that there parents got together one night and just did it they didnt expect a baby but they got it and even if you dont belive in god god still belives in you well thats all i have tah say lata (link)

Yes, I know they're not facts. But none of the things you're stating are facts either. I respect your thoughts, but I'm not changing mine.

1) Sit them down in a quiet place with no distractions.
2) Tell them that as you're growing up, you are developing your own opinions about religion, and that you have decided that Christianity isn't right for you.
3) If they ask why, give them your reasons. DON'T rant or insult the religion. Don't say that anything is stupid, either. Just say, I'm having trouble understanding and believing some parts of Christianity. List a few examples, and give more if required.
4) If they tell you you're wrong or anything like that, tell them that you respect their opinion, but their opinion does not affect your beliefs.
5) Comprimise with them. If they still want you to attend church, say you'll go once a month or only on holidays. If they are stubborn and completely refuse to let you stop going to Church, praying, etc., you could ask another adult (teacher, family friend, aunt, uncle) to help you. I guarantee someone out there will understand you.
Let me know how this works out. Good luck! ♥

What is your opinion on religion? I've heard about the theory of evolution and it makes a lot of sense.
And right now the theory of god and heaven doesn't seem real. There's no proof.
Can any of you give me your point of view? I want details b/c i'm really troubled with this.
plz help
thanks! (link)

Yes, evolution makes a lot of sense. There is also a lot of evidence to prove it, like a skeleton named "Lucy" found in Africa that looks like a human that still hasn't completely evolved from an ape. Religion seems much less believable to me. Here are my reasons:
