Well, I will admit I had never gotten satisfactory answers about dinosaurs and whatnot, so I was never that strong in my faith to begin with. That's the only thing I'm grateful to my mother for, really, that her ineptitude and laziness never led her to either get me circumcised, nor seriously indoctrinated.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
