God

If you're into God, do me a favor and leave me alone. Religion was created to answer a lot of questions people had about scary things like thunder and sharks. When science came along and answered those questions we no longer needed it. Additionally, religion was a nice way to enforce order before civil law. For example, murder = go to hell was replaced by murder = death penalty. Yet religion persists...In 3rd world countries, heaven is a reward after a difficult life of poverty and is excusable. Yet in the US it seems to be a simply a social club, often of exclusion, that is somehow elevated and verboten to criticize because it has to do with "religion" and is therefore somehow sacred. All the wars have been fought either for religion, land (natural resources) or a combination of both. Forget about God and work on yourself.

Hallelujah. I hear ya bro, and couldn't agree more. Our world is full of the accumulated anachronisms and baggage of centuries (and in the case of religion, millenia) gone by, isn't it? Enjoying reading your blog.
