You're most welcome Smile

That is just awful. Religion causes so much harm. You're right, because it's all "unseen" you can't get your hands on it. It's all psychological manipulation.

Maybe this will help a bit: if there is a god, and it's a good god, it will be pleased if you lead a good life and do well by people. If it's a dickhead god, then you can't expect it to keep its word no matter what, and it's not worthy of worship.

Or more realistically, if there is a god, he has no interest in us. Think how insignificant we are cosmically!

Please let me know if I can help in any way Smile
