If there were a god, he would have given us this built-in if he expected us not to lust.

I know, right? The fuckheads who want to say everything bad is our fault because of sin conveniently overlook the fact that the deck was stacked against us without any control or choice on our part because of the so-called intelligent and benevolent designer.
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.
