I am a Buddhist agnostic.

An agnostic usually sits on the fence between God or not-God but as I see and feel it, the fence doesn’t exist.

God is not of the kind of thing which can be said to exist or not to exist. As a concept God’s relationship to logic is a little more complex that our simple linear minds can directly perceive.

The fence, for me, has vanished and all that is left is a fading Cheshire Cat smile someone painted there...

What bothers me most, especially in a country where some Christian sects are true machines to earn money, is the desire of many Christians want a new Inquisition. I do not criticise those who have religion, but to use God to justify the actions perverse and sinister is something disgusting.

Good point.

I believe that God is what we make it, for whatever rhyme or reason. I believe in God, nonetheless. It’s the stifling nature of religion that I cannot seem to make myself comfortable in.

I agree.

Organised religion appears to be the attempt to bureaucratise spirituality. A little like trying to catch a sneeze in your hand, or fully hold the concept of infinity in your mind - it’s a hard-pressed attempt at the impossible.
