I have no issues with religion - it’s the politics of religion I dislike.
Way too many religious types pushing their agenda and using religion to “demonstrate” how they are right and why you should give them your money.
Moment someone starts talking about how I should be following this or that, reading their literature or suggesting a donation to them - I tune out.
Want people to follow you - help others and lead by example. No need to tell others how they are wrong - they will find their own way if you lead by example.
That’s why I follow Illini - a demonstrated leader of men here at BMR.
