God, Christianity, Control, & Fear

He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Indeed; we have the great good fortune to be a very long way from both America and England. Also,to foreigners at least, Australia also lacks regional accents. Fortunately we still spell correctly, unlike America ,which invented an entirely new lexicon ,and new table manners,just to piss off the English. I can think of few nobler motives.

It seems tackattack's god is a cafetaria-model type of god. You don't restrict yourself in picking from the bible. Which is fine by me actually, everybody has the right to fabulate his own god concept into existence. It's a human right.
