However, I agree with your initial premise that there are and always will be people who simply need to think that there is an invisible sky-daddy watching over them.
That said....we should strive not to elect any of the dumb motherfuckers to office.
Greetings, BTW.
I agree, but not everyone can think critically or rationally, unfortunately. So these people had to make a bible and scare the living shit of everyone to take a book so seriously, like honestly. But, it's good that there are individuals like you and I, that can fathom it. It's just that some people cannot, and it will be very hard to get rid of. However, I think on some aspects religion is fair. Such as for someone to believe when their loves ones will die, they are going to a place, and not just wither away into dust, it gives them a comfort. So why must Atheist bicker and try to push believers to the opposite? Maybe some faith believers want to believe their is a deity watching over them, religion seems to get people's head on straight, (simple-minded) sad I know.
I may be lying in the gutter, but I'm staring at the stars.
