Well the only logical explanation for WHY god created humans is that he was bored and wants something to play with, humans are his action figures, which is quite sick when you think of all the pain and suffering that has to go on so that he can have a little play. He also seems like a very vain guy, it doesn't seem he died for my sins at all, to me believe it or not, it seems he created me purely to worship him? Who the fuck does that? Get outta here!

I have never lost my religion. I was born with it, identified it and fought against those who claim it wasn't what it is...

I think a better question would be "How did you gain your rationality?" that way it doesn't seem like you're losing something.

God came to me in a vision and asked me to stop believing in him.

So I did.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

I thought those rye crackers didn't taste right... this man in a black dress told me if I didn't eat it I'd go to hell. Mind you, Mrs. Badcrumble played a rockin' organ solo in the middle of Jerusalem that Sunday.
