Who's God again?

[Darkstar]

I'm not sure which one of them is more religious. My dad probably is, because he goes to church more, but my mom is the one who I know to interpret the bible literally. In the end, they both believe god exists just as much, regardless of church attandence. However, religiousity seems directly proportional to bigotry, and although my dad seems somewhat anti-homosexual, and my mom occasionally says things that could be interpreted as racist, I definitly wouldn't consider either of them to be bigots. (Although the anti-homosexuality my be derived from Catholicism...)

As for religion itself, the fact that Galileo proved an 'infalliable' document wrong (which the church admitted centuries later) leads me to wonder why it still exists. It has been over for centuries, but most people ignore it. I can't say for sure how strong of an effect memes have on people, as I was never fully brainwashed. I was offended when they told me Santa wasn't real; not because I was disappointed, but because thay had been lying to me for years about it. In this case, they didn't even know the truth...though that might make it even sadder...
