Why You Should Be Atheist

[Vincenzo Vinny G.]

But can you prove that religion is a delusion, and crap?

I'm sorry but I can't prove that religion is crap. There is no possible way on Earth that I could prove that religion is crap. It's too popular. Can I prove that it is a delusion, of course, however a wise man once said that if someone does not want to hear wisdom then there is no point in offering it. That man was Orson Scott Card.

There are many things that aren't crap about religion. The smell of pine. Decorating a tree. Feasting. Stories. Philosophy. The stories, the parties, the philosophy, it is real. There are things that you can learn from everyone you meet. It's real in every religion ever created. You can pick out the delusion for yourself. You do it with other religions you don't agree with so I'm sure it's easy to do it with yours.

Is religion cruel and vindictive, yes. Is it good and kind, yes. Because we are people, religion is people, and it has the same duality as people.

It is myth.

Can you prove that Zeus is not up there watching us, plotting his revenge? He slept with a lot of Earth women you know. That's why Hera was always mad at him. And he always turned himself into animals when he did it, he was a kinky god.

"There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy"-- Shakespeare

But in my philosophy, I haven't yet dreamed, I will not confine myself to the prison of a philosophy.

So you believe something you can't prove. That was all I wanted to know.
