Another Reason Religion Sucks

Well that's easy. Because mommy and daddy said so. Why the hell would a all powerful god care about what one race of primates does domestically?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

No idea since all I can do is speculate on how any gods should behave. When we say "why would an all powerful god" would do anything, we have in our mind's what we feel a god should be. Then we are almost as guilty as theists who have their own picture of their god in their mind.

Its all human invention, on both sides of the fence.

Well given that there are more planets in the universe then grains of sand on earth, I fail to see why a god would concern it self with the relations between mites on a grain of sand.
That's just what I think, as a mite on a grain of sand.
