I wonder how many people would agree to their terms of use.

You mean a built-in means of controlling otherwise completely unchecked population growth? One would think they'd be intelligent enough to accept that that's the best idea we've had in a long fucking time.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
