He posts one stupid post about religion, saying religions are like little children. And so he seems "very" mature and intelligent... Does his post even make sense? If that seems intelligent, then if I went ahead and said:
"Food is like rocks, you can throw it at people"
Would I be intelligent then? Or mature... To me that post does not make sense, it seems stupid.

So you read one post of mine, and you don't understand. I suggest you ether go and find other posts that I have written about religion (like the other people have done) or you just ask me what do I mean. 😄
You are only 14 and have never been a father. When you have a child, that child will demand all of your time and attention that he/she needs. They will pick the time when you are trying to do something or talking to someone to get that need filled. A religion needs people or it will die. Most religions will ask that you give of your self to that religion. All I was saying was, you can view this need as a controlling thumb on your neck or you can look at it as a need by a religion that is just a little selfish, like a child.
BTW please don’t call people names, it only makes you look childish.

Ok... but you did mean what you said... didn't you?Well... I don't necessarily have to be a father do I? I've got younger brothers of mine... and I think I know what you mean...
Well... I really don't think so... For example, when it comes to Christianity, I believe that if there is even a time when there is no one who is a Christian, God himself will pick out some people, like he does in the bible. How are you so sure that it will die out? So... what are you saying? That religions ask you to give yourself to that religion in case it dies out? I'm sure that religions have better reasons for asking people to give themselves to that religion.
Hmm... Well, what you're saying now is a lot different to the way you tried to say it before... don't you think? I seriously don't think you should think it's my fault that I took this the way you didn't mean it...
Communication is a two way street: we can always say something better and we can always try to understand more completely. I am not trying to find blame. All I am trying to do is find another way of saying what I intend.
There is one big difference between our beliefs; I don’t think that Christianity is any truer of a religion than any other. I believe all religions are like facets on a diamond, all looking at the truth and seeing it from their point of view.
Long ago people on the Earth knew nothing about Christianity, mainly because it didn’t exist. There was a time in the past, when the main religions of the known world were different than now. People spent a lot of time and energy on these religions and these religions lived among the people. Now most of these religions are dead and gone. One day Christianity will also fall out of favor and die.
BTW I am Buddhist.

yeah I don't get that...
Do you have memories of things that you haven't done in this life so you know where you have come from?
Or is it like the first place you remember is the first place you are, so you go back there?
Or do you simply assume you are going back to where you come from and not know where that is?
Either way I still don't get it..

We are basically energy...and so I believe we will return to the source of where we came from.....And since I believe everything is connected at this level, we are all part of each other anyway.....Just like your cells are parts of the "whole" of what you are....we are all parts of what encompasses everything.
