A Fan Of Horror

 I am a big fan of the paranormal and horror genre. I especially like the movies concerning the The Nun

I listened to a you tube video about the history of the place where this story originated from. Just another cruel example of organized religion. 

The story goes that a monk and a nun fell in love and had sexual relations which went against the RULES of the monastery and nunnery she was from. Well they were found out and there was a trial held at the monastery for them both. 

The monk was hung there on the grounds and the poor nun she was walled up in the monastery left to go insane and starve to death or so that story goes. They were kinder to the monk then the nun. Her skull had been found inside the monastery but her body had actually been found at the bottom of the well outside. But that isn't any better than the other. This is a religion that preaches LOVE, FORGIVENESS where was it for the monk and the nun? 

I can't say I blame the nun for haunting the monastery. If that had been done to me I would most likely haunt the living too. I highly doubt that my soul would have been at peace. Killing two people for finding another path other than what they had originally thought to be a calling was grounds for cruelly murdering them in the name of the religion and Christ. 

This is a running and occurring theme throughout history no matter the age or time period. Look at the Holy Wars, look at the old testament of the bible, look at the witch trials, look at the current evidence of the home for the native american children in Canada where mass graves of children were found run by the organized religion of Christianity. 

Im NOT saying all people who follow this religion is bad but the people who run it are time and time again. Look at the Catholic priest who were found out molesting little boys in their care. Look at Africa where women to this day are being burned at the stake because they fell away from the faith. And this is in OUR lifetime that religion is doing this.

 I'm happy for the people who can find comfort in their faith no matter what it is but for me there is just too much death, hatred, revenge, out right cruelty for me to ever be part of such a faith or organized religion.
