You don't believe in God because of Alice in Wonderland?
No, Through the Looking Glass.
That poem,"The Walrus and the Carpenter"...
that's an indictment of organized religion.
The Walrus, with his girth and his good nature...
he obviously represents either Buddha...
or with his tusks, the Hindu elephant god, Lord Ganesha.
That takes care of your Eastern religions.
Now, the Carpenter, which is an obvious reference to Jesus Christ...
who was raised a carpenter's son, he represents the Western religions.
Now, in the poem, what do they do?
They dupe all these oysters into following them...
and then proceed to shuck and devour the helpless creatures en masse.
I don't know what that says to you, but to me it says...
that following these faiths based on mythological figures...
ensures the destruction of one's inner-being.
Organized religion destroys who we are...
by inhibiting our actions, by inhibiting our decisions...
out of fear of some intangible parent figure...
who shakes a finger at us from thousands of years ago...
and says, "Do it...Do it and I'll fuckin' spank you!"
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
