I feel inclined to share this after finishing season 4.
"I believe in science. I believe in evolution. I believe in Nate Silver and Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Christopher Hitchens. Although I do admit he could be a kind of an asshole. I cannot get behind some supreme being who weighs in on the Tony Awards while a million people get whacked with machetes. I don't believe a billion Indians are going to hell. I don't think we get cancer to learn life lessons, and I don't believe that people die young because God needs another angel. I think it's just bullshit, and on some level, I think we all know that, I mean, don't you?... Look I understand that religion makes it easier to deal with all of the random shitty things that happen to us. And I wish I could get on that ride, I'm sure I would be happier. But I can't . Feeling aren't enough. I need it to be real."
~ Piper Chapman, Orange is the New Black.
What more does a theist need to become rational or even agnostic-theist?
I believe Piper's statement fulfills the requirements for a sane human to just question god.
One simple statement by mankind can change everyone.
Just ask..."Why?"
Why does god let us die for nothing?
Why does god send people to hell to burn without rehabilitation?
Why does god make life shitty enough for us to kill ourselves (unrelated to quote)?
This quote makes me think, why do people bother with god?
We should speak the words out loud that...
"Religion is complete utter bullshit!"
