Learn what religion is before criticising it

You need to get your facts straight before criticising things. For one thing, not all religions believe in gods, much less God. For another, quite a few actively encourage trusting life to take its course, rather than worrying about it.

Re:YouTube is still banned in Turkey

And as someone who still has access to YouTube and Blogger/Blogspot ... Your life is better now that you don't have access to the crap on those sites. Not because its content is offensive, but because its content is a waste of space and transmission of it is a waste of bandwidth.

Seriously, you've not really lost anything.
