Religion and objectivism

Somehow people do not seem to understand the difference between religion and their own desires. Often times I have seen people act in a manner which is totally contradictory to that of the religion they are following. If ever asked regarding the motives of their actions they try to rationlise this seemingly bizarre dichotomy. What people do not understand is that their alibi, whatever it maybe, is very weak. Religion has always been (and will stay that way) an ideology where you have good and evil and everything is based on this classification. That will NEVER change! People have a hard time owning up to the fact that they might be actually wrong for once and hence spiralling into a world full of lies and deceit, lying to themselves that is. Saying, "Oh but that is not what this statement means, what God was really trying to say was .....," is a sham, honestly speaking, and a shame. Who gave you the right to put words into God's mouth? Did The All-Knowing consult you before He issued the decree? I think not. What people fail to understand is that religion is an absolute and objective, it has carved out for the followers what is right and wrong and how you are to dictate your life. The paradigm these people have set up for themselves is a grotesque twisting of religion and at the end religion ends up getting a bad rap an is blamed all because of a few idiots! This does not apply to the fanatics only, I am very sure we can all pick out one such incident where some fool will try to remain in his apparent paradise.
